Hello, thank you for the question to HealthReplies.com
First of all, I want to make sure in advance, what is your exact body temperature and what is your exact blood pressure?
Physical stress or excessive mental stress (including excessive anxiety) can cause an increase in stress hormones in the body. Increased stress hormones can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and also one's breathing (this increase in breathing can sometimes be felt as shortness of breath). Even so, stress very rarely causes fever. There is indeed a condition called psychogenic fever, which is a mild degree of fever that occurs due to psychological stress, but this condition rarely occurs and it must always be ensured that indeed the cause of the fever is not other physical things first.
You should not have to worry too much about your condition. Ask your doctor about the diagnosis of your disease and also ask how your disease prognosis is to find out how your condition really is. You can also ask your doctor further about how you plan for further examination and treatment. Knowing clearly your health condition is likely to be able to reduce your anxiety a little.
So much information from me, hopefully enough answer
