Hey , I am 22 year old Male Indian shifted to Japan in November living here since then did not travel anywhere . I started to have mild fever every afternoon before the onset of Coronavirus in Japan . The fever is in the range of 37.2 to 37.3 the body starts feeling a little feverish every afternoon and gets fine on it's own .

Now recently i was watching a lot of news and reading a lot of articles on Coronavirus on thursday night around 9 pm after watching news i started to feel that there is some trouble with my breathing and then all of a sudden i started to think that I have Coronavirus and then all of a sudden I started to feel that I am gonna die right now and i started to breathe even faster and staretd to feel a pain in chest and started sweating and shivering my hands were tingling and i was very scared that i have coronavirus .

After that i calm down in like half hour or one hour and slept . The next day I started to feel that there is some kind of lump in my throat and little bit pain in chest . I started to have little breathing problem since what happened on thursday . I went to the doctor he checked my breathing and said it's good . He did a X ray for my lungs and there was no sign of virus or pneumonea . I dont have cough diarehea or headache .

Gosh, I'm sorry to read this!  This is truly a scary time.  I had a cold with sore throat and cough.  It was gone and now I have a sore throat again and at night I cough.  I mean, I've taken my temperature 10 times. (not elevated).  The gasping for air you describe almost sounds like a symptom of a panic attack.  I am SO glad that you went and had an x ray of your lung and that they are clear.  I have read what this shortness of breath is said to feel like.  Kind of like drowning.  Which sounds beyond dismal.  It's not just not being able to catch your breath.  I'd not hesitate to be seen and tested though if this continues.  But I must agree that this sounds more like anxiety than covid 19.  I hope it gets better.  It's a very stressful time and I feel for you.

adityasharma. Yeah it's hard to ignore what you feel but I'm glad you are actually healthy.
I woke up this morning with a warmish feeling about my body but don't have a thermometer so I couldn't tell. I felt a little dizzy with a definite painful headache and nasal congestion and was concerned too, but realized it is very hard to feel normal with this headache. I went for a walk in the cold and felt I had a warm slightly sweaty face even in it then came back inside to try to figure out if my feeling of the temperature was just psychosomatic. My spouse took one look and said I don't even have a flushed face so it's a non-event. I've been waiting for a week for the thermometer I ordered to arrive.

If you don't have a cough, fever, or even cold symptoms, you probably don't have covid.

Do you have anxiety? Anxiety can cause symptoms like you describe, and panic symptoms can be very scary.

The thing is other symptoms are getting better but the low grade fever of around 37.1 - 37.4 has been persistent before Covid started and it is still there . Also I would like to inform you that I have had sinus infection my whole life but I am not able to understand the underlying cause of this fever .

That's a mild fever. A lot of anxious people with out any risk in the HIV forum complain about it. One thing that is synonymous to viral infection is high fever. Perhaps that small rise in your body temperature is due to anxiety. Try to not think about COVID-19. Your doctor has already negated the infection. So, you're okay.

The thing is few days back I had some sort of attack which is hard to explain as in i started to freak out that i am gonna die right now because i am not able to breathe properly and my hands were shivering and my heartbeat went so high and i started feeling as if this is a heart attack but after a hour or so I calm down . But since then there is a little trouble breathing and chest pain also . I went to the doctor he heard my breathing and said it seems good and no problem .  What do you think could be the cause ?

The cause for the reaction you had a few days ago is anxiety. You were having a panic attack. I'm very familiar with those same symptoms because I've been getting panic attacks off and on for over 20 years. I can tell you that they're not dangerous, you're not going to die from it, you just start panicking that you will, and that's what causes the hyperventilating and heart racing and chest feelings. You should check out the posts on the anxiety forum or just Google panic attacks because you'll see that's exactly what happened to you.

I understand , however it’s been like this since 2 months now . The mild fever starts occurring every afternoon the body starts feeling very warm when I am in the office and when I leave the office go back to the house the fever gets fine on it’s own . I am so confused never experienced this ever . What do you think could be the possible reason ?

You said below that you don't have a thermometer. Therefore it's just your self diagnosis that you are hot.
The idea of a daily afternoon fever attack that goes away only to reappear the next day for 60 days is classic anxiety instead of a physical health problem. Buy a thermometer and take your temperature next time you feel the fever, and I'm quite sure you will become relaxed when you discover that your temperature is normal.

Sorry I had a typo, so replace this "You said below that you don't have a thermometer" with
You don't have a thermometer.

I do have a thermometer like i use it once in a while and it shows the temperature to be in the range of 37.1- 37.3 Celsius during the afternoon whenever my body starts feeling warm and I start to feel feverish as in the legs start to feel very hot and body feels hotter than usual . The deal is this feeling of fever gets over on it’s own after like 2-3 hours daily .

People's body temperature varies hour by hour throughout the day, and it sounds like you haven't checked the temperature very often over this 60 day period. Normal body temperature varies from person to person too.  
Under 38 is not considered a significant fever so I would forget thinking you have afternoon fever, since this can't be occurring for  60 straight days. Or else start checking it every few hours for a day or so to see what you get.
