Can Stress At Work Cause Fever Along With Chills?

I have been under a tremendous amount of stress at work. When I finally got home from work on Friday, I had a fever/chills which lasted all night, Saturday and Sunday. Temperature ranges from 100-102. Can severe stress cause this.



Thank you!

Dear,
Fever and chills are mostly due to any infective cause.
Any common and minor Thorat or stomach, or urinary tract infections(in adults) can most commonly lead to fever and chills.
Stress can definitely predispose or increase the vulnerability to have such infection. Therefore, stress is an indirect cause as it can deplete your vitamins, which in turn compromises body immune syatem to fight bacterias and viruses.

I suggest get your bit b12 levels done. Get a complete haemogram done.

Have a course of
Tab paracetamol 500 bd
Tab azithromycin 500 od
Cap omeprazole 20 mg bd
For three days

Take any multivitamins supplements for one month.

Hope to have satisfied your problem.
Welcome for further queries.

Hi,
Stress can not give rise to temperature.
It is likely that you might be having viral or bacterial infection causing this problem.
Take medicine for fever as and when required.
Take rest if possible.
Take light diet.
Ok and take care.
