Risk level
Hello - thinking low risk here but curious.
Two nights ago I received protected oral and had protected vaginal sex, relatively briefly - probably only a few minutes.
Next morning I felt some dull pain/stinging in urethra. Thinking it’s probably anxiety/guilt. Definitely was protected the entire time, but now I’m on day 2 and the stinging/need to urinate feeling is still around. Any thoughts on my risk level?

You had protected everything. The chances of you getting anything are very slim.
The only real possibilities are syphilis and genital herpes type 1, if you don't already have it orally, and HPV.
None of these would give you symptoms the next day. No STD would give you symptoms the next day.
My guess is that it's anxiety/guilt, and nothing else. Maybe it's dehydration? Drink lots of water, ease off the alcohol and caffeine, and see how you feel.
