I have only had i think hmmm one cold in the past few years. I have had anx most of my life but i very rarely get ill so i not sure if the two are connected.

I'm sure anxiety and stress can lower your immune system leading to more infections/viruses. I had terrible man flu recently.

Ive suffered more anxiety this year and have had more colds and other infections, not really sure if they are connected or if its just a coincidence.
Some people do seem to get more illneses when they are depressed.

Hi there, my doctor once told me that anxiety can make your immune system really low, im forever getting colds and flu and such too, thats why im dreading the winter coming in. Perhaps it varies from person to person. Hope your doing ok though.
