Covid!

[Gooze17]

Was diagnosed with Covid Sunday morning. Thought it was the flu as symptoms hit me like a truck. I don’t really have any anxiety from it but one thing that is making me slightly nervous is the stabbing and shooting pains in my ears and head. Anyone else ever experience this with Covid? First time I’ve had it since this whole pandemic started

Haven't had covid yet thankfully so i can't help with your symptoms , just wishing you a speedy recovery ! Get your rest .

Maybe it's related, or maybe it's coincidence. I personally didn't experience those symptoms (had COVID twice) but that doesn't mean others haven't. At the end of the day, I don't think it truly matters though.

Thanks bin. And it’s such an innocuous symptom that I can’t imagine it being serious, but dang is it uncomfortable

I’ve had covid twice and I’m sure I had head stabbing feelings too. I hope you feel better soon

It could be a newer strain of Covid with different symptoms. When I had it, I had a stuffy nose, sore throat, and my sense of taste was weakened for about a week. I never had the head and ear pain. That could just be sinus inflammation and congestion that OTC cold medicine might help with. Hope you feel better soon!

Had Covid twice, stabbing pain above and in my ear I experienced in one of the cases.
Also lost my sense of smell for around 10 days one of the covids and I tell you, nothing beats that. I wasn't even worried about shortness of breath or anything else. Losing smell and/or taste feels very weird.
Just rest and lots of fluids. You will be better in no time. The newer variants of covid are a lot milder compared to a nasty case of flu.

Had Covid. Had terrible headaches (almost everyone I know did, too.) It sucks, I know. Sleep and tea. Get better soon.

Just reading this now I tested positive for Covid Monday morning. I have had headaches, fever, being to cold/hot, body aches, sore throat, sore sinuses, sore mouth it actually caused me to get mouth candida, upset stomach, fast heart rate etc that lasted around 3 and a half to 4 days. I'm still testing positive but feeling much better. Crazy thing is I've been sleeping very good and a lot but I look like I'm so tired. I've been drinking lemon water daily, eating raw garlic, fruits, drinking different teas etc it all seemed to help.

This one was definitely worse than the flu lol. Thought it was the flu until I went to the doc. Worst is over now, just dealing with some lingering symptoms. The fatigue is unreal!

Yes fatigue was tough.
I am glad you are feeling better now. Hang in there!
