Yes: Your physical health and mental health are connected. I would suggest that if this does not resolve in a week or two you should speak to your doctor.

Psychosomatic: illness occurs when our mind creates physical symptoms. The reverse of this is called somatopsychic illness. A bodily illness impacts our mood. Check w/your doc to make sure nothing else is going on. Build yourself up w/fluids, nutrition, gentle exercise. Peace and good health..
