Yes, and this problem used to be a lit worse. I try to make external temperature transitions as gradual as possible. Showers are a huge trigger for me. I use very warm water, then finish off with a few moments of tepid or cool water to transition to air temp.

Nearly every minute of every day. Drinking lots of ice water is the only thing that helps a bit.
