I've been having various symptoms since maybe Saturday after finishing up an insane work week where I pushed close to 60 hours, with lots of late nights.
On a scale of 1-10, I wouldn't put anything past a 1, except for just yawning and feeling tired. That's a bit higher.
I've been having headaches off and on, but have not had a temperature above 99.5 when I've taken it. Typically in the 98 degree range. I don't have shortness of breath, heart rate is normal, eyes burn slightly here and there, and occasionally some burning in my throat, but that could simply be because of how much I was talking on the phone with clients yesterday.
Been taking Tylenol for headaches and just dying to take a nap this afternoon. Also have very mild chest congestion, but no cough, nothing that's involuntary or overwhelming.
Several testing sites in my town, been wondering if I should go?
It might just be that I'm run down and that my anxiety shot up over the weekend. I just hate the immediate fear-factor of thinking I've caught this when I live at home with my wife and two kids.
- Honestly that doesn't tell us much... Do you WFH? Did you limit social contact. Not to be rude but symptoms alone without knowing your true exposure/contactjonny_quest_lives
- I think the advice is to get tested within 5 days (UK). If you're still thinking about it tomorrow, get a test. Nothing to lose.Fax_Benson
