Would you have had a covid test?

[EasttoWest]

Sat/Sun lethargic - headache
Monday- hot to touch thermometer said 37.6 (forehead) slight sore throat
Tues - insomnia - fatigue - slight sore throat - still hot to touch - headache
Weds - took day off and slept
Thurs - fatigue - eyes hurting - not sure I can taste food the same
Fri - lethargic but fine

Thanks I just don’t feel I’ve had any brunt that’s a key symptom - slight cough at night but I think that’s from lying down and maybe post nasal drip? No snotty nose. Have sneezed a couple of times in the week.

Why would you think you didn't have any of the key symptoms when you very clearly have stated you had two?

Of course you should have had a test. You had enough symptoms to need to check to be sure....and now you have probably passed anything on if you had COVID anyway. Surely you'd want to know, even if the test said negative??

This is the reason why we aren't keeping on top of the infection; most people aren't blatantly spreading it about, they're just so unsure about getting tested that they don't bother and the infections is spreading that way....

I've booked today. Shielding so it is very unlikely but I have been to hospital/doctors Cough, sweating, sore throat, sneezing and headache

Fingers crossed for you that it is something else

It's funny how differently people present. My dc were both snotty and sneezy. DD's case looked exactly like a head cold. My friends have just had it too and have been sneezing and bunged up. None of them coughed once

That's really interesting. The people I cared for were all 50+ years. I wonder if the cold like symptoms manifest in younger people only?
There's so much more to learn.

Did you get your result op? Hope you're okay
