please help me and reply back as soon as possible !

I am working in health care feild -- actully 2 days ago there is a patient who came to me to ask a question and while talking to him, he coughed on my face ! We did not have much distance and i could feel his breath touching my face and i was not wearing mask ... He said that he has flu  --- after he left i looked into his records and found out that he is both hepatitis B & Hepatitis C positive !! He got testes multiple times and all tests including the confirmatory tests were positive !
I freaked out and went washed my face but since that moment i am living in severe anxiety and stress :( I am scared that i am exposed to some droplets on my mucosal membranes as i was not wearing mask and i get hepatitis from him
I am vaccinated against hepatitis B but i am running crazy and am sooooooooo much stressed and very very very nervous that i may get hepatitis especially hepatitis C
Is there a chance that i get hepatitis through this way ??

I dont know what to do and whether i need to get tested or just i am being so much obsessive about this and it is nothing to worry about .... PLEASE HELLLLP MEEEE i am dying i have been crying all time since then and can not sleep well

any reply is much appreciated
