Excessive Flushing, Bright Red Blotches On Face, Arms, Chest, Increased Pulse Rate. Treatment?

i am a 25 year old female. My complaint is with excessive flushing. I get bright blotches on my face,arms and chest often. This usually occurs when I am nervous, consumed alcohol, have cried/ gotten upset, during sexual encounters or sometimes for no reason at all. When it is very bad it is solid bright red on my arms, chest, neck , back, legs, etc. I also have an increased heart rate .

hello,
welcome to heathcare magic,
from your description of symptoms you might be suffering from anxiety attacks/panic attacks.
the other thing to rule out is mood disorders.
you need to see a counseller or psychiatrist for further treatment.
you need to also reduce your alcohol intake as the symptoms you could be feeling could be withdrawal symptoms.
hope to have answered your query
take care.
