Like the others said...panic attacks can have some strange triggers so it is really not that shocking that cold is your trigger.

Thanks for the input Palooka and AnW89. I guess I should clarify myself. Some people have both anxiety and depression. Some have just depression. If a person is anxious they can slip into depresion because the anxiety is holding them back in life and 'frustrating' them. And sometimes the depression leads to anxiety because you aren't getting anything done! If you couple that with S.A.D. (a seasonal response to lack of...

I have panic attacks when I am tired. I know that I need at least 7 hours of sleep to keep them away. There are alot of posting here that will help you out.

Does anyone else have panic attacks when they get to cold? These past few winters I turn my heat down for obvious reasons, but last year I realized that I've been getting terrible panic attacks when I get really cold. Everyone I tell this to thinks I have a case of the crazies but I'm convinced other people have to suffer from this too. Anyone out of curiosity?

I don't have panic attacks but I have an allergic reaction to the cold. If I get too cold or get chilled I will get hives and sometimes I get so cold I start shaking and feel like I can't warm up at all. I did have panic attacks for a few years but for something else. People can have all kinds of odd reactions to things that we just don't understand.

I used to have a lot of panic attacks, but fortunately not so often anymore. I agree that everyone's trigger is different.

I go into hibernation when it's cold! I just fall asleep on the sofa and it takes some time to wake me up. Turning up the heater a few degrees is a life-changing experience then! I suddenly jump up and have energy for 10. Do you think I could be related to snakes, lizards and the like?
