I know this isn't necessarily an anxiety related question but it is in the sense it is making me panic a bit.
I am 19, female and it good shape and health from what I am aware of. For the past few days I have been ill, with a heavy head, achey joints, high fever and general flu-like symptoms. I have noticed however than upon standing my heart seems to race off on me which it doesn't normally do. With having the flu my GP said to expect my resting heart rate to be higher than normal due to the higher temperature and my body trying to fight off the infection but I can't help but worry about the racing heart? It only seems to last about 5 seconds or so until I sit down or get used to standing about. I am still feeling a bit unwell and heavy headed.
Do you think this is normal?
