RAISED BODY TEMP IS ONE OF THE EFFECT OF PANIC EPISODE.
ONCES PANIC ATTACK OVER, BODY TEMP COMES TO NORMAL IN APPROX.20 MIN.
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND FOCUS ON HOW YOU INHALE &EXHALE.
SOME ANXIOLYTICS IN SUBLINGUAL FORM ARE VERY EFFECTIVE , BUT FOR THAT YOU HAVE TO CINSULT PSYCHIATRIST.

RELAXATION TECHNIQUES ARE PROVEN EFFECTIVE.
