Anxiety levels when poorly

[avasnana]

Hi,

I just wanted to ask if anyone elses anxiety levels go through the roof when they are coming down with something i.e. cold, virus?

As soon I start getting a cold, i seem to think straight away that my anxiety is back at full force and I should get to the docs for some tablets.. then a few days later when the cold is getting better I feel fine?

Just wondered if anyone else felt the same?

thanks

My anxiety levels rise too. I've learnt that if they do this and there's no apparent reason, it's likely I will be down with a bug in 24 hours.

I actually feel relieved to be ill so I know it's not anxiety out of control. That keeps the fear away and I manage through the illness fine.

Hey , my anxiety actually came back when i got a chest infection in full swing, and is still here even after my chest infection is gone.. what ive noticed is because of my nose being blocked alot that seems to have caused me to think about my breathing i think resulting in my anxiety going mental..
