why did my fingers change colors after an anxiety attack?
i had a bad anxiety attack after upping the dosage on my antideppressant. my fingers on only my left hand have changed colors, kind of a redish brownish.
Hi Lacey,
I think you should see a doctor, perhaps a dermatologist. I'm only familiar with skin turning paler or "flush" during a panic attack, not redish brown. Certain heart medications can turn the skin a blueish color, but that's about the extent of my knowledge on this one.
So, go see a physician and please let us know what he/she says!
