Can’t smell fried egg and bacon!

[UnicornRace]

Since about 3pm yesterday, I haven’t been able to “taste” anything I eat, which means I basically can’t smell anything.

I was making a fried bacon & egg sandwich for DH this morning and usually (as I have a sensitive nose) the smell gets me so much that I’ve got got put the extractor on, get windows open and door wide open to rid the smell. But today I was so oblivious and only realised when DH commented that it was unusual of me to not open the windows.

I’ve been a little under the weather but put it down to my allergies and pregnancy (5 months). I don’t feel particularly “bunged up” and don’t really have any other symptoms - except heartburn, nausea and sickness..all which I think relate to the pregnancy.

But I have read that the loss of taste/smell are the latest symptoms in some.

Should I be worried?

*latest symptoms for Covid-19, I should have put.

Anyone??

Ate some lunch because my stomach was grumbling but literally couldn’t taste a single thing.

It does seem to be a symptom but they said on news yesterday not so much that it added to the list. No idea if it comes near the start or end to know if you are through it though.....

I couldn't smell much since last Friday, but have been good so far otherwise. And the smell recovered around 50% now

My trust have added it to our screening questionnaire that we ask patients - it definitely can be a symptom. However have you actually been out anywhere to have caught it? Its very frustrating not getting tested, isn't it :-(
