Brief Answer:
It’s due to anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The symptoms you have described are not due to Herpes but it is due to excessive anxiety you are experiencing.
You can take laxatives like lactulose for constipation. You can take around 10 ml lactulose smoother your bowel movements. Take more fiber rich foods in your diet.
You can avoid direct sunlight and instill methyl cellulose eye drops for sensitive eyes.Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. You can try relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.If symptoms persist, better to consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
