That's exactly my experience. Headache started Wed and tested negative till the following Monday. However, everyone I know who's had it had a different timescale /set of symptoms . Including DH who didn't catch covid till weeks after me. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I felt like this 3 weeks ago I took an LFT and got a negative... Got a positive pregnancy test instead 😂😂

Get a pcr

You can't do a PCR because of a headache!

I have had a sore throat, headache, dizziness and exhaustion since Friday. Loads of kids in my class have covid but all my lft's negative. Went for a pcr last night convinced they were wrong but nope negative!

Yes, my husband. His symptoms were a headache, fatigue and a bit of general acheyness. Also some stomach discomfort, and he was a bit off his food (but still eating). He must have done about 5 LFTs - all negative. After the thermometer showed 37.5C temperature on Friday night we booked him a PCR -came back positive today . His temperature was actually completely normal again the next morning, before he even had the PCR!

I had a headache and sinus pressure for three or four days before I got a very faint squinter of a positive LFT. It wasn't a severe headache (I get migraines and it wasn't even close) but it felt worse when I leaned forward and it made me very lightheaded.

The headache has gone and I now have just a slight cough and mild cold symptoms. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays mild.

It could be Omicron but just taking its time showing up on a test.

Headache is one of the prime symptoms of covid. The government and NHS are stuck in the stone age with their official three symptoms (goodness knows why, the science is clear).

I had a headache for a week before I tested positive (on LFD or PCR). The headache did get markedly worse at the point of testing positive. Now starting to get a cough and sore throat 3 weeks after the headache started. Don't see how it can be a different virus as I've been in isolation the whole time.

Yep,headache the whole time for me (I’m day 5)

I haven’t had any of the 3 ‘main’ symptoms.
