Red and hot ears

1 watcher

stuman Feb 2012 7:20pm, 10 Feb 2012 17 posts	0 stuman Serious question, does any know why you ears suddenlty get very hot to touch and red?? I have been told that it is caused because the body is releasing excess heat as a way to regulate temperature. Does anyone else have experience of this I have read on forums that a few people do get this problem but I can\'t find much info on it.???? It only seems to happen when I am inside the house so not much good for keeping my hands warm on a cold day outside Bit worried it could be caused by high blood pressure as I have had issues with this in the past probably because I am 3 stone overweight, but any helpful advice would be recommended. Also it seems to be happening more since I came off of anti-depresants as I was taking Venalfaxine although this may be nothing to do with it.???
