Ok but anxiaty causes heart to speed up and vains to narrow causing vascodialation a raise in body temp then body sweats to cool down . This is isnt me talking this is a quote from a medical journal . P ps this diagnosis of your poor mums not going to help either it would stree anyone out  when my liz was diagnosed wow did it effect me but being her rock i had to hold myself togetter for her sake but my goodness everything went south inside if the blood tests show no infection then it should start to bring the anxiaty down its all about heal yourself or live with anxiaty for the rest of your life not a pleasant prospect i i couldnt beleive anxiaty could affect me so much but it does so i read  up pages on pages about it and got rid of it can make you feel like heart bowle kidneys urine you name it does it . Just go onto googel and put in does anxiaty raise body temp its all about convincing yourself . P

Thanks for your reply Paul. I agree on how much anxiety can cause, im waiting to see a cardiologist because an ecg showed I have rapid heartbeat (tachycardia). Unsure if this means I have an actual heart problem or if its from my anxiety. But, on the other side, I dont want the doctor not to investigate something because I have anxiety and maybe miss a potential health problem. Ive read some cases of psychosomatic fevers but it seems pretty rare enough. I just dont want to assume its anxiety, iv had some crazy anx symptoms over the years but a fever has never been one of them. Fever usually means the body is fighting something and if that infection isnt obvious then it concerns me as to what it might be :( 

Definatly get it checked i had arithmia missing a heart beat now and again they put a heart moniter on 4 24 hours handed it back in then they sent for me to do a treadmill test where they stick sencers from a cardio mashine and as i i walk they raised more and more so you were walking up hill and measured heart rate  the imbalace stopped under load so cardiologist said it was ok  well i hope you get sorted one way or another regards .paul

Hi Smoores,

I'm glad that you got to see your GP today and that she didn't seem too worried. It's good news that your throat has healed and that she is following up with your bloods tomorrow.

I'm happy to hear that she hasn't dismissed you, but left the door open if you continue to have the same symptoms.

You should get your blood results through quite soon.

I sincerely hope that they don't throw up something untoward. Fingers crossed!

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks Jolamine, woke up hot and sweaty last night and my temp was 37.8 :( 

Im really getting anxious about these fevers again. They just wont go away and the longer this goes on the more convinced I am it must be sinister. I feel sick with worry. Last night was the worst, I had a fever and woke up with cold chills, shaking  badly. I also have a rash that comes and goes on my stomach. 

 How is everyone else? Anyone else reading this with similar symptoms? I cant shake how scared I am right now, I have chronic health anxiety and feel like I'm falling apart. I cant stop crying :( 

Hi Smoore,

You might find it helpful to take a photo of your rash to show your GP.

It might also be useful to keep a diary of when these bouts occur and what your temperature is at these times. It doesn’t sound as if you are reaching high temperatures, which is good news.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Jolamine thanks for your reply, I am keeping note of all fevers etc. Seems worse at night, the second I fall asleep my temp rises. Im exhausted. 

Musicismylife, how are you holding up? I know you have your appt on wednesday. I hope all goes well for you. Has your symptoms eased at all? 

I had a cold last sunday, monday, tuesday (on my birthday) at one point i was going to phone 111 as my temp was coming up 40.1 had a cold bath and took usual paracetamol and nurofen and within 30 mins was down to 38.7. Since tuesdays ive had no fevers (touch wood) and just random shooting pains in neck and under arm on left side. Ive had pain random in left flank and thats it. I recieved a letter from my original consultant who changed her mind after i left and instead of referring me back to gp decided to book me in for ct scab and basically saying she will not see me unless its a positive ct scan but no appt yet however now im being passed over 2 week cancer rule in own area they can see previous bloods, xrays ive had. I will take my consultant letter which says my last set of blood tests were normal altho my ESR was 12 which she says is normal on the letter but on nhs website says its normal for a female aged 55 and over. Im 32. Dont see how thats normal?? I will flag this. Then she goes on to say in the letter that if ct is negative maybe i should see a rheumotologist as i could have a connective tissue disorder or fibromialgia? Altho my ESR is normal so she doubts is the case. However it isnt normal levels so still could be this i guess.
