Feeling ill and impact on panic attacks

[paulaf]

Sometimes I think that I have been suffering from more anxiety and panic attacks than normal, only to realise that I have been unwell. The past few days I feel like I've had a virus, but where that would be bad enough for your average person, for me it makes it so much harder to go to work. I had to ask for a day off tomorrow because I cant cope with both at once. Does anyone else get this?

Sorry to be a pain but does noone else relate to this? i.e. feeling more panicky when unwell?

yes we do because we dont feel well the best to have day resting ,,

Hi, when Im under the weather it seems to get to me more as well, is this what you mean? I think we just think about the illness more so that adds extra anxiety, or if our immune systems are low this could have a effect. :)
