I have noticed myself getting hot flashes - a sudden feeling of heat/intense warmth surfacing up my skin ( face, hands, body ) during social interactions - say when I hear something which I don't like and feel like getting mistreated or sidelined , or when an authority figure in a work relationship puts you in spot, or questions you OR even during times when I have to address colleagues standing on a podium after receiving an award for best employee. You can feel this heat all over. I am not sure how the opposite party would be seeing me then.

All I feel during those moments is an "urge to escape",  inadequacy to be a part of that environment and being let down by others and being a failure. Further as way to protect myself I have this urge to take a nap to just shut the world out. 

1) What does this whole signify? Anyone feels the above?
2)  Is this anxiety or panic attack ?
3) How should one cope with this?
