So someone I was in contact with the whole last week of January tested positive on Monday Feb 1st.
Monday and Tuesday I felt more tired than usual, as after you exercise a lot but nothing more.
On Thursday and Wednesday I was also in contact with another person who also turned out to be positive by Thursday.
On Wednesday I got PCR tested and on Thursday was told I was negative.
Both Thursday and Friday I had throbbing headaches for several hours, the kind that makes it painful when you shake your head.
Since Friday night and until Sunday so far I’ve felt I’ve had a fever, although I don’t have a temperature reading. I’ve also felt joint/muscle pain especially in lower back and legs.
Since Saturday I’ve also had pain when moving my eyes side to side, kind of like eye strain but I’m not sure it could be related to the fever.
My usual resting heartbeat should be around 60-70 bpm, but these last couple days I’ve seen it go up to the 90-100 bpm range and even once up to 110 bpm, only to later come back to 70-80 bpm.
I have not experienced other symptoms such as cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, chest pressure, loss of smell or taste, etc.
Sometimes I feel a slight itch in my throat that disappears when drinking water.
I’m thinking I might get tested tomorrow again. Do you think the passed time between contacts with covid positive people is enough to actually show up if I have it? Or should I consider this might not be covid and pursue another kind of medical attention?
If in fact covid, does this is seem like a “mild” case so far? I’m male, 31 with no diagnosed health conditions.
