Five signs you may already have had the coronavirus named

Lack of smell, loss of sense of taste, shortness of breath and fatigue are the most common symptoms by which you can tell when it’s time to get tested. However, scientists from Oxford University went further and decided to find out what signs may indicate that a person has already been ill. To do this, they interviewed asymptomatic patients who had undergone the virus.

Fortunately or unfortunately, all respondents had general health complaints.

To begin with, many remembered that for some time they had a severe stomach ache. No one gives guarantees that COVID-19 is to blame, since the exact causes of such pain have not yet been identified, but this symptom may indicate inflammation in the lower parts of the lungs.

Also, most of the “asymptomatic” had unreasonable diarrhea. In fact, this is a very dangerous sign, because you can always blame, for example, yesterday’s pie from a bakery, which you entered by accident, and not suspect a coronavirus.

Another common symptom was the signs of conjunctivitis: burning in the eyes, itching, pus, or increased tearing. Of course, you don’t need to run to do the test right away as soon as your eye itches once more, but it doesn’t hurt to be attentive.

Also, don’t write off fatigue and loss of smell. Patients said that they showed these disorders in a mild form, but then they simply did not attach any importance to it. They decided that they were simply overworked at work, were overwhelmed, or that some old illness had worsened.

Of course, this research by scientists still does not give a one hundred percent guarantee that you have had the virus, even if you have a complete set from this list. In the current situation, it is generally difficult to guarantee anything, so for complete confidence it is better to take an antibody test.
