(Re doing an earlier thread in a better composed way, as I was trying to gauge if people had similar experiences and explain bit more why I think I've got it). I wasn't able to get a test as I was told to get a test it must be done within 5 days and with a cough, temp, and or loss of taste and smell, but to follow the 10 day isolation from symptoms starting anyway. (I held off contacting 111/gp as family were saying it can't be covid if its not the 3 main symptoms, even though lots of people haven't had temps etc).
I had the same symptoms on the same time line as my friend who did get tested positive and her symptoms started a day before mine. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms?
Started with body aches, then a mild sore throat and a few coughs as if to clear throat, not really anything you may class as persistent. By day 5 vertigo hit badly, followed by nausea, diarrhea and palpitations. (Day 6 felt the worst). I would say over that week had a sinusy weird kind of feeling in head, but no headaches or ear ache. on day 9 and feeling a bit better but dizziness and tiredness is persisting, still some palpitations. Sleep has been disturbed the past few days. Throughout the week temperature has been normal.
Has this been similar to anyone else? I've been reading a lot about many people having similar things of not having the main symptoms and testing positive. The reason I think it is highly likely it is covid not a different virus is because my stepsons stepdad tested positive for covid over the weekend (we had stepson over before we both showed symptoms, mine a few days before his). That's what prompted me to call gp, then today I found out my friends situation with her symptoms matching mine.
