Hello, I am new to this site but was wondering if anyone could help me?? I am 24 have GAD, panic disorder, emetophobia and IBS.
So a looong story short...My fiancé currently has a throat infection and had a high fever over the past few days...he has been given antibiotics which gave him gastritis. Has had D&V all last night and today and abdominal pains. This has completely freaked me out!!!! I have emetophobia so panic all the time about getting poorly...I don't know if I have actually been poorly the past few days or if it's just been anxiety?! I haven't eaten, feel hot and panic and feel nauseous. :weep: can anyone relate or give me some tips?! I'm going out of my mind!

Those symptoms can all also be attributed to anxiety. You may or may not have caught something, but either way drink plenty of water, stay well fed & try to calm down a bit. I know it's easier said than done.
