When you fast you feel disoriented very often due to the lack of nutrition.  This would be especially true if you're sick, which isn't a good time to be fasting generally since you're already weak.  Disorientation feels like what we experience when we're very anxious, so the association of feelings can trigger anxiety.  Have some soup.
