Why do I feel like a hotness in my stomach whenever I'm nervous, and then after I feel that I feel like thumping on my legs, arms, face, feet and feel like stuff inside my mouth like stuff crawling on me?

These physical sensations you are experiencing are common symptoms of anxiety. When you become nervous or anxious, your body produces adrenaline, which can cause physical sensations such as increased heart rate, sweating, and muscle tension. The sensation of "stuff crawling" on your skin is known as formication, which can be a physical manifestation of anxiety. It's essential to understand that anxiety is a normal emotional response to threat or danger, and you are not alone in experiencing these sensations. If your anxiety symptoms are impacting your everyday life, it may be helpful to speak to a mental health professional for support and guidance.
