Hi. I am currently going through an extended period of health anxiety, exacerbated by bereavement, and the pandemic. The increased isolation during ‘COVID’ times has not helped things either. The Dr has prescribed me a low dose of Sertaline to help me get through this.
This morning I woke up about 4am, with a sore throat and a bit of a hoarse voice. Of course this first thing that entered my mind was ‘I have got COVID.’ I could not sleep for a few hours due to anxiety, but eventually nodded off.
When I woke later in the morning, I was surprised to note that the sore throat and hoarseness had gone. However, given my current anxious mindset, I still have the niggling thought at the back of my mind ‘could that have been the start of COVID symptoms’?
I am trying to rationalise this. Surely it can’t be COVID, as it would not cause a temporary sore throat, that lasted only hours? Also, I have no fever, or other obvious symptoms.
I just found the sore throat odd, and was wondering what caused it. I have problems with snoring, and was wondering if snoring heavily, could have caused this?
Thanks.
