Has anyone who's had COVID experienced dizziness as the main first symptom?

Yes, my daughter. My husband had symptoms 2 days before, my daughter who is 16 went to make herself a hot chocolate in the kitchen, a few minutes later I heard an almighty crash. I called her, ran into the kitchen, found her out cold on the floor.
She came round within 20 seconds or so, was a bit disorientated.
She said as she was walking back through she felt dizzy, tried to put her mug down, and couldn't focus on the worktop properly, then passed out.
I called the doctor, they said to get her tested, we did, she was positive.
Fortunately no injuries, but frightened the life out of me.
Speaking to a few others who have had it, they were a bit dizzy too. My other daughter also had dizziness, but had a fever and headache first.
Hope that you are OK
If in doubt, get a test x

Thanks for responding @Biddie191. What a horrible shock for your daughter. I hope she's okay now. I'm currently awaiting test results. It's my only real symptom but I've never experienced anything like it before.

Thanks, 18 days since we were tested, mostly fine but just very tired if you do anything at all strenuous x

@craigsgirlfriend dizziness was my first symptom, I also had a mild temperature that lasted a couple of hours, I was fairly certain I was positive as two other people in my household had already tested +
