But you have been having anxiety and racing thoughts before your sickness right? I don't think that woukd make a difference.

I would try to get some rest, stay hydrated and eat something 😊 hope you feel better soon!

Yes being ill can make u more anxious, It does for me. Get some vitamin c tablets or berocca, helps me clear up colds etc asap... just tell yourself it's being ill that is partially increasing anxious feelings

Have had anxiety for many years . Quite good for ages but just had a bug which has made me feel much worse . Always does. Do not worry when you get back to normal so will your tired nerves!!
