I'm on medication for my anxiety (Remeron 30mg) and this generally works for the most part, but to be honest some days are still harder than others. One of the worst things about my anxiety is that I start blushing whenever I begin to feel anxious. These blushing episodes mostly occur during social or work-related situations. I also get them sometimes around my family. The best way I can describe the feeling is that it's like blushing really badly followed by a creeping, hot sensation throughout my face/neck. It's like my face is on fire. It kind of feels like a hot flash. I have attempted many times to fix this problem: I've tried cutting out caffeine, exercising more regularly, eating healthily, drinking more water and self-hypnosis. Yet nothing has worked.
Yesterday I was at my local chemist and saw some tablets designed for hot flushes. I thought I could perhaps try them, but the label stated they were for menopausal women. I felt too embarrassed to ask the pharmacist if I could take them. Do you think I could try them even if I'm not going through menopause? I'm tempted to buy them because these severe blushing episodes and hot flushes are ruining everything for me.
