hello everyone, I got diagnosed with a positive covid 19 test yesterday and its been hell. I've been having migraines for two days and a low grade fever all day. nightmares at night. Also a bit short of breath when going up stairs. Are these symptoms common ? if so have any of you taken anything to ease the symptoms? im so anxious i'm constantly thinking about complications.***

    yes your symptoms are common with Covid. The fact that you have a low-grade fever and no cough points toward you having a relatively mild case. i’m going to assume that you are young and in that case you have about a 99.9% chance that everything will be OK. contact your doctor or pharmacist about what is best to take to relieve symptoms. Personally I would avoid ibuprofen. . Make sure you are staying hydrated. Get a lot of rest. The vast majority of people can do self-care at home.

    Do you things that relax your mind. Listen to relaxing meditations for anxiety on YouTube, read a good book, talk to friends and family on zoom or FaceTime, and play games with them on zoom, get a lot of rest. The vast majority of people can do self-care at home.

    you Will be OK. It just takes time just like when you have the flu. Of course as with anybody else, if symptoms get worse then you would contact your doctor or 911. that’s true for not only Covid but for any type of illness.

    . in the meantime, just take it easy and stay home. don’t over exert yourself. Hope you feel better soon! ❤
