Hi Toria

Sounds totally like symtomps just left over from your cold. 2 weeks is absolutely nothing like the time it takes me to get rid of all cold symptoms, and everyone i know would say the same. My sister in law has congestion and headahces after a cold for weeks on end. Stress and colds have that effect together. I get an odd nose smell too when my nose feels really dry, ususally after a cold and definate;y when im super stressed!

Blurred vision....everyone with anxiety gets this... totally normal with anxiety sufferers its all part of the fight/ flight response.

Your anxiety is just picking on you just now. Your probably a bit runned down after your cold and this is allowing your anxiety to flare a bit. Im really anxious just now and im thinking 'big problems' in the same way you are, its just out thoughts though, its the way we are feeling
