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.

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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
O yes it certainly does with about another 100 things as well , I am always so tired never feel I have been to bed !
My anxiety at the moment is over my stomach , I am worrying something terrible , it can be down to anxiety though so I hope that test comes back fine sure it will and you will know it is your anxiety , plus those meds could have upset it to !
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
