" Blushing and sweating can be especially challenging and embarrassing because the symptoms are so visible. They are perpetuated and worsened by performance anxiety and social pressure." Performance anxiety.... BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpjunkie2004 0 #3 May 23, 2006 What Causes Facial Blushing? In many people, facial blushing happens occasionally as an involuntary reddening of the face due to embarrassment or stress. Blushing results from an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which is part of the involuntary central nervous system in our bodies. This sympathetic nervous system helps regulate glands and organs without our conscious effort, and controls the diameter of blood vessels to the face. In some people, these nerves are unusually sensitive to emotional stress. Given the right stimulus (like feeling uncomfortable or anxious), the nerves prompt the blood vessels to open wide, flooding the skin with blood and causing the characteristic reddening of the face.Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
