Hi all,
Apologies if this is in the incorrect area of the forum. My pregnant wife and I have been self isolating for 5weeks. We havent left the house since then other than once to pick up some medication for her pregnancy. Was super careful and, face mask and hand sanitizer. Social distancing and all. Anyway, about 10 days ago, I started to get this really odd sensation of feeling hot in the evenings. Thermometer would never reach over 37.2. Face would burn up, ears aswell, but my hands and feet were ICE cold. Was uncomfortable. This would happen most nights for the last 10 nights. Yesterday and the day before, I had the most stressful days of chronic worrying I think I have ever had. My wife has some issues with her pregnancy and it caused me chronic intense worry. I felt so worried yesterday that I wanted to throw up, felt completely drained and out of it. By the end of the day I had body aches so I went to bed. Woke up around 2am with a fever of around 37.8. Chills and my chest feels tight. Now I've been diagnosed with GAD and HA and was in the process of getting face to face therapy, but the pandemic stopped by sessions, and I've been told to continue using the online portal. Anyway, my question is, has anyone who has experienced chronic stress and worry ever gotten themselves so worried that they've physically gotten unwell? Like I mentioned, the % of me catching any virus is small as I have been self isolating for 5weeks, however the irrational part of my mind is now saying... "ooh fever and tight chest. You have coronavirus". Its hard being stuck indoors with your own thoughts and weaknesses so thought I'd share on here to see if anyone else has experienced such things
