Brief Answer: Please consider consultation with psychiatrist Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for choosing WWW.WWWW.WW Cold hands and feet , headache ,bloated feeling can be due to anxiety or hypothyroidism. Rashes could be due to allergy or even due to anxiety. I think you will need to talk to a psychiatrist and start on SNRI like Venlafaxine, Duloxetine . These have fairly good results. I shall be happy to answer any more query DR SAATIISH JHUNTRRAA
