View Full Version : Flu anxiety
I have had a bad flu and bronchitus some weeks ago. Although I have got over them, my anxiety has just suddenly gone throught the window again. I'm obsessed with my breathing (I cannot get my mind off it) and feel very drained. I often have obsessive thoughts when I'm anxious. I'm at work at the moment and I feel so low. Could the illness have an indirect effect on anxiety? Has anyone else found this?
Thanks
Tulip
oh yes without a doubt. ive just got over a kidney infection and mine is horrendous. i find that if im sick i dont eat as well as i normally do. this definitely has an adverse effect on our nerves
definitely

hi tulip
Sorry to hear you are feelin sh***y, it is very common to feel low after any virus - this in turn can trigger the anxiety.
What you need to do is look after yourself, eat well, drink plenty of liquids and plenty of rest (spoil yourself a little!)
Hope you feel better soon.
Love Pinky
