Fake symptoms?

My friends been diagnosed with pneumonia and it's became really bad. The worrying has caused me to feel like I'm having symptoms of it too which include sometimes feeling shortness of breath, feeling hot, and at night I always think about it and I can't sleep. I woke up yesterday feeling cold and shaking all over my body. I feel like these symptoms are from anxiety but I don't know how to make myself feel better.

Any suggestions?

Klaudio, there is nothing wrong with you as far as concern.

You are hooked with the ‘What if’ worries over your fiends medical condition.
You probably over worried about your friend’s medical condition to the extent it created temporal phobia of your own personal health over your friends medical condition.
To me, you are not sick, you are only being deceived by a negative thought of ‘What if’ worries.
You have to understand that you are not sick, but your friend is.
Remember that going closer to your friend to let her know that he or she is just going to be fine will be helpful. don’t be scared of diseases or death.
