Could This Be Caused From Candida?

During times of stress in my life in september, i woke up one morning and felt foggy. I could not focus, felt like i was stuck in low gear. For a week, the fog got worse and worse. I could not sleep at night, or eat very little for 2 days… thought i had a serious problem that had just hit me, but i moved on and thought it was nothing and attempted to carry on. I would go to work and i still felt tired. when it got busy, i work in fast food, i was in like a fog. on a concentration level from 0-10…i was about a 3. I got confused easily, felt like i was going to pass out, and felt spacy/dreamlike. i went to the doctor after battling a week of it. talked to my uncle, he battled the same problem for much of his life. him, my doctor, and myself…we all thought it was anxiety, until i read an article on Candida and i related to people who suffered from the same exact problems…THE SAME. I am a male so i do not get ‘yeast infections’ but i read that candida does occur in men, usually from allergies or stress and it attacks the nervous system/brain. has anyone else experienced problems such as this? Is it candida or anxiety, or a result of stress? Doctor did prescribe atarax and that did the trick.

Candida Albicans is a Fungus infection that causes thrush. Atarax is an antihistamine used for allergies. It is also used for the short-term treatment of nervousness and tension that may occur with certain mental/mood disorders. So, i wouldn’t say that you have Thrush (Candida Albicans) if this drug worked.
Symptoms of Candida Albicans
Thrush appears as creamy-white or bluish-white patches on the tongue – which is inflamed and sometimes beefy red – and on the lining of the mouth, or in the throat.
Diaper rash caused by candida is an inflammation of the skin, usually red and sometimes scaly.
Vaginitis is characterized by a white or yellow discharge. Inflammation of the walls of the vagina and of the vulva (external genital area) causes burning and itching.
Infections of the fingernails and toenails appear as red, painful swelling around the nail. Later, pus may develop.
Infection of the penis often results in balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis).
An infection in the bloodstream can affect the kidneys, heart, lungs, eyes, or other organs causing high fever, chills, anemia, and sometimes a rash or shock. Candida can cause the following problems depending upon the organ infected:
in the kidneys can cause blood in the urine
in the heart can cause murmurs and valve damage
in the lungs can cause bloody sputum (mucus discharge)
in the eyes can cause pain and blurred vision
in the brain can cause seizures and acute changes in mental function or behavior
