Re: Temp still fluctuating
Everyone’s temperature fluctuates. Especially after a bath or activity or eating.
Anxiety can bring on a raised temperature- especially if it’s what you’re anxious about.
Try and trust the rules of going by how you feel not what your temperature is.

Re: Temp still fluctuating
Why are you still taking your temperature so obsessively though? I thought you were going to be working to keep your anxiety under control? Monitoring your temperature is pointless unless you are really ill.
Why not put the thermometer away? Has any GP actually told you that you need to record your temperature for 20 days?
Re: Temp still fluctuating
Thanks scass how are u? Trouble is I feel.awful brain fog, hot and cold, weakness scratchy throat off and on pressure in ears off and on burning eyes, palpatations nightmares hollow feeling in chest only to be replaced by pressure or pain. It's been going on for weeks could this really be my anxiety playing hell. I have never felt this bad with it I am convinced it's the dreaded bug doing the rounds and I am so worried about my daughters and husband catching something off me. I isolated for 20 days nothing progressed. Is it truly just anxiety.
Re: Temp still fluctuating
Hi pulisa I am working on it truly i am i have bought a cbt book keeping a worry journal and a new wellbeing journal. I think I'm stuck in this cycle because of how high risk my daughter and hubby are I know its obsessive but I cant bear the thought of passing something on to them. I have not experienced anxiety this bad ever and I just struggle to believe it's all anxiety. My dr said 37.7 is still classed as infection fighting it's made me worry even more. I wish I could relax I'm really trying truly.
Re: Temp still fluctuating
Have you checked the rest of your family's temp? It could be the thermometer. I hope you feel better soon. I can totally empathise. I have chest and back pain today and have the same thought process. I drank too much yesterday to alleviate anxiety symptoms (big no no as its exacerbated it today) and I was sick plus I fell asleep in bra so I'm trying to be rational and think I strained myself being ill but it's hard when there's a little voice telling me it's covid. I've just managed a 3 and a half mile walk so I'm probably OK. I hope you feel better soon. It's all so consuming x
