Hi,

Firstly, have you contacted your doctor, and did they diagnose you ?

Have you had anxiety before, or treatment?

Hi

Many things can trigger anxiety , the flu you have had , which sounds as you had it bad , could have caused you to feel this way

I would have a chat with GP , check you are still not suffering any side effects from the flu & tell them how its left you feeling

Let us no how you go on

Welcome to the site , keep talking , you will get lots of support

Love

Hi,I'm going to the doctors tomorrow,and I suffered from panic attacks when I was 16 through my gcses exams.the treatment I had was to see a councillor.it took a year and a half to get over what I had.
