Anxiety after adopting cat, feeling lost

Hello everyone

I adopted my first ever cat yesterday and he is truly just so great and i couldn't wish for a better cat, he use the litter, follows me, love snuggles and doesn't scratch anything so far.

But i think i'm hit with the adopting anxiety or just weirdly timed influenza. My bpm wont go under 88 and is peaking at 133 even if i'm in my bed and trying to sleep. I'm living in a one bedroom apartment and i really appreciere my alone time where i know i can rest and relax and charge my energy, but i feel like that's being completely interrupted. I were thinking about getting a cat for around a year and my idea was that i really just wanted a companion, but i had no idea it would flip my life upside down for him just "being here"

I feel like i have fever, high bpm, no appetite, sweating, nausea and so exhausted. Can that really be caused because of adopting anxiety or do i just have a random outburst of influenza the exact moment i adopt a cat? It has only been 21 hours and i just feel so sick and exhausted.

I read a lot about people having anxiety after adopting but my symptoms seems really bad compared to others.

What do you guys think? I know me and my cat have to get used to each other and i have to adapt living with another living creature and it will eventually pass but god i feel awful. Im also thinking he deserves a better forever home than i can give him inside my little apartment. :(
