Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
Hotness of legs and hand, headache or dizziness are symptoms of anxiety disorder or thyroid dysfunction. First get your thyroid profile done along with other routine blood investigations. In case, these investigations come normal, then you need few antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. That would help to control anxiety symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
