OK, now I'm freaking out Please help

I posted before and I know what my exposure was low risk( me recieving oral and I am a male) and I know that symptoms are not an indicator.  But, about 18 days after exposure my throat was slightly sore actually more like scratchy and nose was stuffy.  I had no fever and some fatigue but i think this was possibly due to stress.  But now I have post nasal drip, spitting up clear mucus throughout the day (usually in the mornings and had this before) and getting pains in my body and now currently in underarms.  Last night a had a night sweat and and 2 other night sweats last week and now I'm totally freaked out.  I just had an anxiety attack and need to take medication to calm me down.  Will someone please give me thier insight as I am totally worried right now and feel like I'm infected.  And how severe are the symptoms relating to ARS?  Thanks.

I believe ARS always involves a high fever.

Plus your exposure was near 0 risk.

I had every system in the book and I would argue that (although low risk) giving oral to a women is riskier than receiving.  My understanding is performing is always a little riskier.  With that being said, I have tested negative at the 45 day mark.  Don't trust symptoms.  The more you pay attention to them the worse things get.  Take my advice or you will ruin your life like I have done for the past 7 weeks.  You will be negative from the above exposure.  Good luck.

Why ask a person, who doesn't have HIV, what his symptoms were? You are in the same boat. A non risk situation with all the fear from research. Imstupid just got his 6 week negative and still can't move on. You are going to end up being the same guy. You can test anytime you want, but they will all be negative and a waste of money. You can compare symptoms all you want as well but they are going to mean nothing. You didn't have a risk! Calm down! You will be fine!
