For about four days now I have had flu like symptoms that seem to come and go. I will feel really tired, and like I am totally blocked up with cold, then later the feelings will disappear.

Is this another mind trick of anxiety? Thanks

It's possible your immune system is down (helped by anxiety)

One of the first symptoms of a low immune system is cold-like symptoms (the second is usually skin disorders)

Eat well (plenty of fruit and veg, etc. - you know the score), don't drink alcohol, take multi-vitamin supplements, exercise & try to get good sleep.

It's probably just a cold. As dazza said, your immune system can become low when you're stressed and anxious making you rmore susceptible to minor illnesses. Take some cold/flu remedies and rest up. If the symptoms are there for more than a week or so then head to the doc.
