Stress anxiety and flu like symptoms

I have been under a lot of stress and have been going through bad anxiety for over 2 months. I am noticing I just don't feel good. Actually I feel like I got hit by a bus. I'm achy all over and have chills and just feel like I have the flu. Does anyone else have flu like symptom's with stress and anxiety?

I have severe health anxiety too so when I het a pain or dont feel good I think it's serious and panic more. The last few days have been bad. I feel like I have the flu no energy, no appetite I have lost 15 lbs in 2.5 months. I have a pain in my side and lower back and it throbs I went to the dr and he said it was from strained muscles/tension but nits not going away. I can't take it anymore I just want to feel better and be myself again

Hi Tracy. 

Do you normally have anxiety? 

I deal with stress n afterwards will come down like this. My glands come up in my throat, feel awful n ache. I have a bad back anyway bit I think it gets worse. After a good sleep I feel better in a couple of days. 

However, our body/ brain find different ways of making us slow down. 

Do you: sleep ok, eat healthy n exercise? If you do then it's worth a blood test. Very low vit d can cause these symptoms. 

If not  try!

there are so many little viruses around its so easy to pick something up. Extra care can't hurt. 

Hope your feel better soon xxx

Hi Lisa,

I do have anxiety alot but the last 2 months I have spiraled into what I think is a breakdown. This episode has been the worst i have experienced yet. I haven't been exercising, I wake up through the night and I don't have much of an appetite. I have lost 15 lbs. I have had blood tests and they were all normal. I've been to the dr so many times bc I have severe health anxiety about every ache pain or sensation it sets me into a panic. I started having panic attacks which I have never had before with this episode and everything went down hill from there. Now I have this pain on the right side of my back beneath where my ribs are the dr said it's a strained muscle but I still worry. It throbs sometimes and a pain in my sidea as well. I don't know if it's from not eating much, from coughing or maybe from vomitting bc I do that when my anxiety is really bad. I just want to feel normal I can't do anything .

Do you know what causes your anxiety? Have you had therapy ?

if you've had the blood test then you know your fine. 

The back pain could easily be from coughing or muscle strain, a good way of finding out is if it goes after a soak in a hot bath. 

It's not surprising you feel ill even through your lack of sleep! 

Id still take extra suppplements, it will help you take some of your worries away, especially vit d, I need that or I feel lousy and already have weak bones. 

You could do with a good sleep to wake to a new beginning of a positive start at trying something else xx

Beta blockers are good for heart beat/ panic attacks. Funny cos when you know you can control it they seem to go away quite often! 

Yup happened to me..i quit worrying when i knew it was just the anxiety and could be controlled.

cant take it once infection is vanquished wil be me again  i hope n go back to herbs as i always take

i posted own   topic but instead of replies have to go to all of yours ,lol which is fine   doesnt bother me, meeting great ones here   anybody want to clean 2 big dr offices  tonight and sunday night  will let u ha or  help me   be done before 1am

So.. U have a chest infection and are on medication for this ?

i can't find how to send a message, a doctors might pop up! If you really feel unwell you could phone 101 and they'll assess on the phone, at least they'll tell you whether you should go to hospital or what they think. there only there to help you so they need to do their job properly!

if not... How long on pills? 

When did you stop herbs? 

Are you eating ok? I'm not a doctor but you've worried me! x

about 2 weeks took last antibodtic last night,,,think is from my cleaning chemicals   i use    keeping me coughing    i clean drs offices

 

 on herbs  still take them off and on ginger especially

eat when i can   work 7 days  on my 4th n 5th job in 30 minutes am a vegan

today not feeling   great with only 4 hours of sleep,not insomia   maybe about 8 -10  hours sleep since friday, is because of cleaning 2 big dr offices back to back,,,still have   my tigntening  in neck and throat area  plus  my neck  injury adds to it,,always had this tightening not as bad when get upset
