Anxiety Symptoms and Strep Throat
Can strep throat cause you to have anxiety symptoms?
Anxiety Question:
Can strep throat cause you to have anxiety symptoms?
I have been taken celexa for anxiety for the past six weeks, come to find out I have strep throat (caught it from my daughter), would strep cause you to have anxiety symptoms until you started treating it with antibiotics?
Anxiety Answer:
It's impossible to say a definitive 'no' to anything in medicine. But I have never heard of this happening before and thinking about anatomy and physiology and pathology and all the other courses I have taken to prepare for my career, it doesn't make sense that it would cause anxiety symptoms.
But I did try to find some sort of connection thinking about the pathophysiologic processes of strep throat. The fact is, it didn't.
Sounds like you started taking Celexa before you had strep throat.
If you are taking the antibiotics for the strep throat now and you are doing well with your anxiety, it could be that the Celexa has kicked in and started working well for you.
