Here is my situation. I have viral infection as indicated after a trip to the ER after 2 weeks of flu type symptoms which I've had off/on for a few months. I feel like my anxiety is making this viral infection harder to get over and am worried it is a underlying cause of something bigger. Anyone ever had flu and get paranoid and wonder it if is something more?

You sound like me. 10 weeks ago I woke up with flu like symptoms. Have been to drs. had many test all of which come back normal. i truly believe my anxiety is making me not get better. I have lost 20 lbs and have no appettite and have a fear of choking when I eat solid foods which then makes me not want to eat. I know that I have a problem and need to figure out how to get over it. My dr did start me on lexapro so I am hoping that it kicks in soon and I can back to my normal self. I do have a dr appt on tues and will talk to the dr about my eating.
