Hello,

The symptoms of hot flashes under the skin with history of PTSD and COPD indicates possible anxiety manifestations. Deep breathing exercises and meditations help best way in this type of situation. However, if it remains persistent and become bothersome, you have to approach your primary care provider in this matter for further guidelines and care of management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
