On Penicillin For Conjunctivitis. Sore Throat, Tight Chest, Backpain, Fatigue, Green Phelgm Stuck In Throat. History Of Anxiety Disorder. Hypochondria?

Currently on third day of a five day course of penicillin. Just getting worse, had conjunctivitis for four days, very swollen, red, blurred, giving me headaches. Now very sore throat, feels like its closing up on me. Chest tight and some back pain. General fatigue need to nap a lot and aches all over my body. Keep regurgitating green phelgm, stuck in my throat. Have anxiety disorder so know what that feels like, this is different. Am I just being a hypochondriac? Helen Stewart

Hello
Welcome to HCM

You are on penicillin for conjunctivitis. You are also having headache, sore throat, chest pains and tightness. General fatigue you are having is most probably due to viral infection you are having. As you have history of anxiety disorder also so excessive fatigue in you is most likely due to somatic or hypochondriacal symptoms. Wait for some days so that symptoms get resolved if no relief occur then visit a psychiatrist for expert opinion.

Thanks
