Fever: If you have a sore throat and fever, you may have an upper respiratory infection. If you have white spots on your tonsils and swollen glands in the neck, you may have strep, a bacterial infection which requires antibiotics. If not, it is likely a viral infection. Feeling ill may cause anxiety and this will raise your blood pressure. If you don't feel better with Ibuprofen, see your doctor.

Sounds like: You should be swabbed for a strep infection. Anytime you are sick it can make you feel more anxious. It is normal for people without anxiety to feel a bit anxious . Fever will make your pulse go up and the top number of your blood pressure but not to an unsafe level. If yours is very high goto the ER
