Had a scratchy throat yesterday that has since gone, low grade fever all day today (99-99.9). Have felt off and spacey today, and had a headache which went away after taking Advil. Have an appt to get covid testing tomorrow. Test is thru my doc office and they said they’d have results within 24 hrs. Even so, I currently have severe anxiety about all of it. Anyone have advice for how to cope until I know exactly what’s going on with me? I feel like this stress isn’t good for my immune system.

Advil? Uh oh...

In all seriousness, don't take Advil.

Remain calm. As my doctor said, it could be anxiety, it could be a cold, etc. don’t panic until you get the results. Until then, keep hydrated, rest but get up and walk about/go for a stroll, do breathing exercises.
