Hey,

Does anyone here have an increased amount of anxiety when they're sick? It seems like the physical manifestations of anxiety get more severe. I get more stressed and have thoughts saying how I'm going to die or I have something severe wrong with me.

How do you deal with these thoughts and anxieties? How do you gauge whether you're sick or just really, really anxious? 

A few days ago I went jogging for 30-45 minutes and then today I felt too exhausted to move a few boxes around. Its this inconsistency that's aggravating.

No chest pain, no trouble breathing, no fever, no cough, no stomach/digestive issues, etc. Though I feel sick to my stomach sometimes, my heart races, and I can feel out of breath. Only for me to be fine 24 hours later. 

I did have some cold recently. Wasn't COVID according to the test though afterwards I was around someone who had it. My lymph nodes seem a little more firm which could mean my body is fighting something... or it's just because I touch them a lot.

Anyway, how do you know if it's health or health anxiety? How do you not worry?

Thanks.
