What Causes Flushing In Arms When Suffering From Insomnia And Anxiety?
I have been suffering from insomnia and anxiety for over a year now. Recently I have been experiencing hot flushing feeling in both arms, mainly in the upper area. It goes away but then returns. My blood pressure is great and pulse is fine as well when this happens. I have had a niacin reaction and it feels similar but not taking any suppliments at the time. It is annoying and has been lasting longer and longer lately.

In my opinion, you should not worry. Anxiety and insomnia both cause increase in metabolism and that can in turn lead to flushed feeling.
Check if it is related to weather, clothing etc.
(If you are a woman and going through menopause, it may be related.)
