Do you get more symptomatic when physically sick?

I’ve been sick for the last few days; called in for work and the been feeling like crap. Anyway, I’ve often found that when I get sick, I get more symptoms. For example, today I was hearing a copious amount of undistinguishable voices and getting more paranoid. This does not just happen every so often, either. When I got covid, it was bad then too.

I was just wondering if this phenomenon is particular to me, or if its common?

@John_Raven I just wanted to let you know I read your thread. I suffer from health anxiety and this means worrying about me having psychosis.

I haven’t been sick since the pandemic started years ago. I’ve been extra careful and so never caught any bugs/colds. Touch wood that continues.

So I can’t really remember if it made me worse.
