Temp is normal: I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling anxious. 98.3 is a normal temp; you do not have a fever. However, if your anxiety is interfering with your life, I would recommend seeing a doctor to discuss that. If it’s not too bothersome, you may want to continue checking your temperature 2x/day for peace of mind. If you have a temp of 100, or develop other symptoms of COVID-19, see a doctor please.

Temperature: Since you have multiple posts about your temperature- it is clear that you are anxious. That temperature is not elevated. If you believe you have a physical illness can contact your PCM. If you have anxieties that are impacting your well being - can consider counseling.
