      whenever I see a trigger I get hot flushes and maybe increased heart rate

      it doesn’t happen with anything else in life – I don’t think so anyway

      if I see a trigger it’s almost an immediate response with the hot flushes/anxiety and if it’s not an immediate response then I’ll mentally ‘check’. Does this sound like OCD?
