Anxiety high temp

[jjb1983]

Has any of you on here suffered with high temp when anxious?

I came home from work yesterday due to feeling anxious at work.

I've been on antibiotics now for 8 days for tonsilitis, woke up this morning feeling really hot flushed in face.

Took temp it was 37.7 made me panic a bit took 2 paracetamol and it's down to 37.4 I've still white spots on my throat too though they might of gone by now.

Supposed to be going to work for 9 but I won't be going in possibly won't be going back I'm struggling with this anxiety.

It's upsetting to me because I love working.

I'm waiting for 1 to 1 counselling too.

I'm super anxious today it's horrible thinking something awful is going to happen I'm fed up of this.

Also I have this horrible feeling that I'm going to fall asleep, like a dreaded feeling I will fall asleep just out of nowhere.

And I'm about to freak out.

Hello jjb1983

Sorry you have woken up feeling this way

Your temp is not to bad just a little over so try not to get into a state of panic as that will send it up as we sweat and get hot when we are anxious

This could be a combination as sometimes antibiotics can make you sweat and feel hot , anxiety can as well as infection

How many days have you left on those antibiotics ? if it is only one day left and you can still see white spots on your throat I would go back and let them have another look myself as I would have expected it to be gone by now but if you have several more days to go I would give it till after the weekend

It will be nothing life threatening though but a combination of things contributing to it and when we are down it can take longer for us to fight infections of because our immune system gets

Let me know how you get on

Take Care x

Hi lulu1,

Been to the docs he's said I have a white coating on my throat and spots are still there. I only had 12 tablets left so the chemist didn't put the correct amount in.

So been to the chemist and they have given me 12 more tablets still think there should be more because I wasn't taking the correct amount at first was I.

I had a really stressful day yesterday with my sister and family. So I'm wondering if that's why I'm like this today.

But I feel like any second I'm about to freak out.

It's horrible.

Health anxiety at it's highest I think I have everything.

I feel so guilty not going into work.

Snap my HA is high to and my mind has everything so you are not on your own

Seriously though we can always see someone else's situation more clear than our own and sounds like you are only half way through those meds so there is loads of time yet for them to work , when I have been on antibiotics it has been the last day taking them before I have felt better sometimes so don't worry yet if the Doctor had thought for one minute it was anything to be concerned about they would have been on it

You as I said are under so much pressure with one thing or another this will be adding to it taking a little longer as you will be run down to

You won't freak out but if you feel like a good scream then go for it , it could help getting all this pent up fear out your system

If you are still concerned you have not been given the full amount of meds just phone the chemist and ask they will tell you , be honest how you have taken them so they can work out if you have now been given the full course

Try and take it easy today , sounds like you could have done with starting that job next week as this infection is not yet cleared up

My Son used to get this an awful lot when he was younger and it would knock him of his feet , I got it once and goodness me to put me to bed , it is a nasty thing so look after yourself till it clears up , everything else will have to wait and will still be there when you are feeling better x

[jjb1983 in reply to Hidden]

Honestly lulu1 it's terrible, I've not suffered this l8ng in a while.

Are you on meds for yours?

It's right though seeing someone else and giving them.the best advise just not been able to take it on board ourselves is crap.

Well after today I have 2 days left still don't think that will be 10 days work they gave me 12 extra tablets but think it should have been 20 really.

I just freaked out because I wasn't feeling it today from stress yesterday been ok today just chilled a little and I'm off tomorrow as Well.

I work in a care home setting and just not sure if it's for me too.

It is horrible knocks you out of wack, you and your son must of been fed up, I wouldn't say I'm in any pain as such just throat horrible dry too which is annoying.

Hope your day has been better how was your movie sorry I didn't reply my anxiety had my diary fully booked with crap lol.

You really need to phone the chemist tomorrow and make sure you have enough medication , if you don't have the full course it could come back so please either give them a ring to check or your surgery

My Son works in a private care home for people with severe disabilities , they literally can do nothing for themselves bless them and have to have everything done for them including personal care

He is only 24 and has been doing it 3 years now , he is a qualified painter by trade but could not get any work so he took this on

Now he is young and the shifts he does and what have you is nothing to him because I think his age helps , he has some of the service users screaming all day and some can get violent at times but he takes it all in his stride , how he does it I will never ever know because I could not do it in a million years , and if you want me to be honest this kind of work is not for everyone you have to have a certain kind of personality I think , I speak to many people who say they could not do it so give it a go , see how it goes but if you do find it is not for you do not feel like it would be a fail because it certainly wouldn't be but give it a chance , I know at first he found it a little difficult but once he got to know the service users and what their needs were he just sails through now , in fact he has even put his self down for Christmas day shift ( says a lot about been with me )

Meds for anxiety do you mean ? if you did then no because of the meds fear

If you meant for infection then yes I will take them x

[jjb1983 in reply to Hidden]

Hi lulu1,

I can't really work it out because I'm not sure how many times I only took 1 tablet or woke up to take the early morning tablet.

Working in a care home can be so draining, especially caring although I don't do care work I do admin and payroll.

It can be rewarding at times I just don't think that setting is not for me.

Your son must loves what he does.

I can only imagine how challenging it must be.

Yeah I meant for health anxiety in the same no meds but really thinking I might need them I've not been this bad in a while. But then I think it's because of the news of my sister too.

Ate you finished your antibiotics?

Are you any better?

Jjb1983

Hi

Of course you said you were doing Admin , I forgot

See how it goes give it till after Christmas if you still feel the same then look at something else but I always think if we have to walk away it can feel better when we know we gave it a chance

Again when these meds have gone see how your throat feels if you feel it is not cleared up you will have to go back but as I said before sometimes I can be on the last day of the meds before my infection feels like it has finally gone and yes I have finished mine now

The meds fear prevents me taking meds for anxiety and I believe they could possibly help , if you could overcome your fear and try them it could be the best thing you ever did

I am sure the stress you are under will be contributing this time to how you are feeling , I am imagine you are really run down , I know I am fretting over my health and it is starting to run me down now , stress is a powerful thing

Hope you have the best day you can and try and relax , all helps with the healing process when you have had an infection x

[jjb1983 in reply to Hidden]

Sorry for the vary late reply lulu1, didn't realise there was a reply.

I'm done with the meds but there was still spots yesterday I'm going to check today.

Has your infection cleared up?

I had physio on Friday for neck pain and she really helped but it's came back last night and this morning.

It's so annoying.

I will give work another go, but have 2 job interviews this week.

For less hours.

So fingers crossed.

How are you feeling? Any word on the counselling?

Jjb1983

[Hidden in reply to jjb1983]

Hello

I thought it was strange not hearing back from you but as we say no news is good news

Maybe you need a little more treatment on your neck before it helps long term

Yes if you feel that infection has not cleared up you need to go back , sometimes and my Son used to when he had it bad you need more than the prescribed amount of meds to clear it

Good luck with those interviews it could be with all that is happening less hours could suite you more

I have not had a very good weekend at all , my infection has gone but been in a right state with anxiety over my stomach issues

No sign of Counselling as yet but I am not expecting anything super quick even though I may just give the a ring at the end of the week

Let us know how those interviews go

Take Care x

Hello lulu1,

No no I just didn't see a reply in my emails.

With me applying for jobs I get lots of emails so I'm wondering if I deleted it.

Yeah I will book and go back I've just put a stool sample in, so il wait see the results off that then maybe book an app.

Aww I'm sorry you e not been to good, i find sometimes when I'm in the house all the time makes me feel worse. Went for a short walk last night and it was lovely could you not try going for a walk at night?

Hope counselling starts soon for you.

Thank you I will do.

How are you today

[Hidden in reply to jjb1983]

Hello

Sounds like you have been busy

No walk the agoraphobia does not like it much but some how it has to cope tomorrow as I have to have my hair done , it will be traumatic

Do you mind me asking why you have had to put a stool sample in I thought it was your throat that was the problem

Not great again I am afraid I might go back to the docs in the next week x

[jjb1983 in reply to Hidden]

Oh I hope your ok when you get your hair done.

Does your anxiety make you feel breathless, not during a panic attack just in general?

Mine is terrible tonight I feel so anxious.

Just had a bad stomach a few times.

Yes I shall have to take some deep breaths in the morning I possibly won't sleep at the thoughts of going tonight , what are we like ? x
