Hi everyone, this is my first ever post on Reddit so apologises if I’ve made any mistakes. 
I’ve browsed here for months now to help with my anxiety that I’ve been dealing with the past few years. 
I tested positive for covid 2 days ago (I’m 27 and also double vaccinated and was due to get my booster this week) and I’ve never felt anxiety or experienced panic attacks like this before. 
So far my covid symptoms have been a cough, runny nose and fever/chills. This morning I started to feel a bit better but out of nowhere a massive panic attack. 
I can’t sleep, I’m sweating and feel like someone is sitting on my chest. 
Trying to tell myself that I’m just building everything up in my head but I cannot relax for thinking it’s covid getting worse.
I’m posting to see if anyone else here has any tips for dealing with this other than breathing techniques or if anyone else has had the same fears with a positive covid? 
Thank you so much and again, apologises if I’ve made any mistakes.
