Have cold symptoms, chest congestion, anxiety. Can this trigger panic attack?
human
The last couple of days I've had some weird feelings of anxiety.  It resembles the feeling that one gets right after you've been startled or had a big scare.  I've had one panic attack before, just out of the blue, but I also had a dental abscess at that time.  This time, I'm having some cold symptoms and chest congestion.  So now I'm wondering if an infectious process in the body can trigger a panic attack.  It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
