Probably normal: We don't worry about temperature until it gets over about 101. Try a cool compress on your forehead, drink cold beverages, and try to calm down and not to worry. No need to keep taking temp if no other symptoms, just anxiety provoking. Good luck!

Panic attacks: 99.4 F is not considered a fever. Hot flashes and sweating can occur with panic attacks. I would not worry but if you haven't had evaluation and treatment for panic attacks would do so. Take care.
