Tested negative but post test symptoms got worse
Posted , 2 users are following.
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.

I tested positive a few days later my husband felt tired and achy he had a test it came back negative a few days later he still didn't feel right so went again to be tested and that came back negative again we just stayed at home anyway because I was isolating due to testing positive.
It was about a week and a bit before he got a cough and then one night he was rely short of breath we are sure he had it and my son tested positive also so it couldn't of been anything else really as we hadn't been anywhere.

Today I woke up with a sore throat when swallowing, not extremely painful but definitely sore, plus my eyes still hurt after 3 days even though I have been resting enough. I guess I will definitely try and get tested again later today, but it's certainly distressing that symptoms continue to get worse instead of better.

I seem to have developed a cough during the day. My throat stopped being sore. Eyes are still painful.
