Feeling like a stitch

Has anyone else with symptoms also had an increasingly bad stitch feeling but sort of in their back? The area hurts to touch too.

Not sure if it's connected or just coincidence but every time I breathe in (unless I do so very shallow) its an acute, sharp pain.

Yes I’ve had this and I wasn’t sure if it was related either. I’m self isolating at the mo and still unsure if it was a mild version of the virus or just a cold.

Op - have a look at the thread ‘My lungs feel like they are on fire. Anyone else.’
Lots of people reporting these sort of symptoms

Thanks both for coming back to me, sorry other people are feeling ill too.

So the last two nights I've had a real shortness of breath - unable to catch a deep one at all - but it's seemed to be around bedtime rather than today when I've woken up like it. Along with the stitch feeling getting worse.

On Sunday night I fainted and then had a seizure, BUT I have epilepsy and fairly regularly seizures so this in itself isn't indicative of much.

Because of my epilepsy and some other health stuff I think I have the opposite of health anxiety as I'm quite used to feeling like shit, so it's hard for me to know when to worry.

I work for myself and from home so self isolating isn't an issue, it just means I would need to prepare for getting more poorly in case more symptoms come and I am unable to work or look after myself very well.

The main issue is that I live with someone else so that's something i need to tackle too - I only say that's a main issue because I'm usually unable to stay alone in case of seizures.

No temperature or cough at all though.

No idea what to do really. Ugh.

Yes I've had exactly that! I have sore throat and chest and thus weird stitch like feeling on the left side,near the lungs.

Have other people had it minus a fever or cough? Just not sure if it's a coincidence - I thought you had to have one / other / both.
