Sounds like da flu..I wouldn't worry abt it..but jst to b safe u should make an appt wit ur doc. I've had these same exact symptoms before and was told i comin dwn wit da flu. Good luck to u!! :-)

I think that you should go in...could be tonsilitis, and they will want to do a rapid strep test as well I would think.

Don't be scared...you are just sick, but it is completely treatable. You may be given antibiotics if it turns out to be a bacterial infection...

...or if it's viral, you will be 'prescribed' rest and fluids...either way, you will feel better knowing.

Let us know how you are doing soon.:)

Thank for responding, ray1528 & Scaredy Cat


Yesterday I went to the doctors and I was told I had strep throat & I was given medicine to take for 10 days.
& today I am feeling sore, can’t swallow it feels like I have a rock in my throat, also I having head zaps, I want to blank out..i also feel like I am going to stop breathing.

gesee!? I guess this is the symptoms of strep throat?

I just got over strep myself and I'm telling you it kicked my anxiety into high gear. Nothing seems to help. We just can't give up and I really want to sometimes

Shadawn2: It truly sucks having strep throat & anxiety at the same time right? We must fight this anxiety and kick it to the side!

lgm1942: That I have to agree & thanks !! It's just an unreal feeling...everyday I feel like I am dying..

Jess,

My oldest son was prone to Strep Throats and I remember how sick he would get, high fever, unable to tolerate foods but I always insisted he sip on fluids through out the day.  The medications will kick in really fast and you will feel so much better.

Rest  as that is what your body needs to heal.  You don't have to sleep all the time but just rest.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

Hi Jess,

i hope by now you have started taking the medicine and are perhaps on the way to feeling better. I will second what someone else said, and say that taking liquids is a really good idea. Also to rest. Your body is giving you messages that it doesn't want to operate like normal, the best thing to do is to listen to it. Being sick is no fun but there are things you can do - like liquids and resting - to feel better.

i hope you feel better soon!

Thank you everyone for the heads up, means a lot :)

I started taking the Med so far its healing and getting better but darn anxiety just won't go away !! my throat all day literally is dry and I am always clearing my throat and it feels like I am going to stop breathing everyday feels like I am choking..and this happens ALL DAY! not one day I have a break for a minute!!

Jess,

Being sick, and also some antibiotics can increase the already existing anxiety symptoms.

However...take the whole course of medication! You need to completely rid your body of the strep by using all of your medication, even if you start to feel fine and are tempted to stop.

I know that this is hard. Try getting some soothing lozenges...I like the watermelon Halls drops, and drink lots of liquids. Slippery Elm tea or 'Throat Coat' might help...you can find these at most drugstores or health food stores.

Keep getting better!:)
