If people have had the headache, either by itself or with other symptoms, what was it like? Banging headache or pressure? Continuous or on and off? Thanks x

It was like a hangover headache for me and lasted throughout the day

Thank you. Partner is feeling rough and has a pressure headache on each side of head, and a headache is being spoken about more and more.

My daughter and I both had the hangover headache that lasted for days, among other symptoms.

I've had a terrible headache for three days now.. nothing shifts it. I also have muscle aches and my back is strangely sore like if done a massive ott workout! 🤷‍♀️

I had a headache along with muscle aches for about the first 36 hours, but I also had a low grade fever and then after it went I just felt tired.

Thanks everyone. We are debating to test or not. None of the main symptoms and it would mean both boys off school till results back.

My head feels like its in a vice grip, non stop for 4 days now, and I'm dizzy. I don't know whether to get tested or not either.....as I don't have the classic symptoms?

Many, many people don't have the classic symptoms at all.

It was a pressure headache for me, and paracetamol didn't seem to really shift it. It lasted for 5-6 days.
I lost my sense of smell 24 hours after the headache started that meant I could get tested (positive). If I hadn't lost my sense of smell I wouldn't have been able to as I had no other symptoms.

It’s like a pressure headache along the forehead and a feeling of nausea. Painkillers do nothing to shift it.

I had an intense headache every day for a month. Like a hangover type headache.

I had a headache for 3 days before started testing positive on LFT (DS was positive). It wasn’t as bad as a migraine and I worked through it.
