Yeah, it happens to me, even when the room is warm. After about 20 minutes, my hands start turning pale and cold.

i get cold hands and shivers too.

but only when its cold around me too.

the weird thing is usually my hands are fuckin warm, and sc seems to be the only game that makes my hands cold.

It's pretty common even for pros. Pro players all agree (according to the announcers from B.net Attack with Bisu) that playing with cold hands is suboptimal and throws off your game.

It really differs in my case. I always have cold hands, not only when I'm playing. Sometimes on the other hand when I don't even really feel stressed or something I just feel a small stream of sweat running down from my armpits on both sides. Kinda creepy I know.

The funniest thing that happened so far was a couple weeks ago when I played BW with some friends, in the like 3rd or 4th game I suddenly noticed that my right arm had fallen asleep. I was still playing with my hand, but I couldn't really use my arms. Weeeird feeling :s

I noticed this while playing piano, it is caused by tension in the hands, which cuts circulation. learn to relax your hands and it should go away
recognize me?

I get really hot and start sweating when I play what's up with you guys. This makes sense because you are thinknig and moving very quickly. This should increase heart rate so that's why I would start getting hot.

I never shiver or anything, but I sweat like a fat man when it's an intense game

I do, even if it's fucking hot outside.. It's horrible, I can't even move my fingers properly, and after the game ends, my hands get super warm lol
Even if I wear a jacket, they still get cold.

Oh and I sweat a lot too, it gets even harder to control the mouse.

believe me.


^^^^

Yep, what the OP describes (cold extremities + shivers) is definitely anxiety. House temperature or bad circulation aren't really the issue, although people suggesting exercise are correct--Not because of circulation, but in that exercise helps a lot with anxiety in general.

Don't worry about it much though! It doesn't mean you have crazy problems, your symptoms are definitely not unusual, it just means you're working yourself up a bit over the game. If you try to be more relaxed about playing, or get regular exercise, it should help. =)

When I first started playing the beta, had been years since I played the first starcraft, it happened to me a lot! Now though I guess I'm more comfortable playing the game. Sure I still get nerves occasionally but no where near the nerves when I first started. First ever game, first placement match, first league match, etc.

It also didn't help that I hyped myself up before getting in the beta by watching streams and casts none stop either. Finally getting to play was like, omg I hope I don't get crushed! ^.^

DO NOT PLANT YOUR WRISTS.

Keep your wrists elevated off of the mousepad and keyboard tray in a neutral position. This enhances blood flow. I learned proper wrist positioning when I took professional piano lessons.

Wrist rest is a must unless your keyboard has a built in one, only way to keep your hands elevated without tiring them out.
