Worried I may have the corona virus

[whispershadow]

have you phoned the doctor for advice? is there a american version of 111 for people who think they have corona to phone?

[Hypo27]

I text my doctor hours ago and no response not sure what to do :(

Well my doctor just called me and he told me right now just to take Tylenol for the chills and body aches. Also to keep an eye on my temperature and if I develop a fever to call and let him. He said that there were quite a few people with worse symptoms like cough fever etc coming up with negative results to the Coronavirus so that’s good news I guess. I’m honestly still really worried I just don’t feel myself..

[Hypo27]

He also said not to go to the er unless symptoms are severe and he said he didn’t think it sounded like the Coronavirus I just don’t know. Most doctors are still kinda clueless to this virus..

[Hypo27]

You guys think it sounds like Coronavirus?

I think you need to listen to what your doc has told you and not ask opinions of people on here.

The joint pains are getting worse and I’m developing breathing issues this really may be it I really may need to go.

I have yet to hear that joint pain is a symptom of CV. Have you actually taken your temp?

Yea it’s been normal so far. If you look at patient stories most start out with joint pains, headache, runny nose. Then they start developing fevers, dry coughing etc. Really though I’ve heard multiple
patients complaint of nausea and vomiting also so really this virus is so unpredictable..

Sounds like you need to stop reading “stories” as you know in the past you’ve developed symptoms after reading about them. That being said, you’re the only one that knows if you truly can’t breathe. If that’s the case, get the help you need. Otherwise, please please don’t go take up valuable space in the ER because you’re panicking.
