Back to work - feel a bit sick

[pussinboots]

Hi all, I am now back at work after having the chest infection, I am still coughing but feel better in myself (not achy or feverish like I was last week). However, I have suddenly started to feel a bit sick. This might be because a colleague told me this morning she has had the flu all last week (including a chest infection) and once she got over that she started being sick and couldn't keep anything down. Now I am worried that V will start. I keep coming over all hot and clammy but it is warm in this office and everyone else is complaining of being too hot. How can I calm down till its time to go home?

Breathe, and remind yourself how you felt this morning before work (if you felt really great/better than now!). Just because it happened to one person doesn't mean it will happen to you either - since you just went back to work and that colleague was sick last week, it probably isn't contagious anymore.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I do feel much better today, I think it was just mind over matter yesterday. Still got the cough but don't feel sick now.
