Is fever is a symptom of anxiety or panic attach?

Sometimes I have the feeling of not being able breathing and palpitations .. Sometimes I feel cold and start to shake … but now I have a fever (100.4). I wonder is this caused by the same thing or is it because of some other underlying reason … (I felt a strange sensation in the throat lately, I was wondering if its cuz im getting the flu or something too) What are the symptoms of a panic attack and his healing? THANK YOU.
