I'm a healthy 47 year old male and fully vaccinated since june. on Sunday i started to feel tired and a bit hot in my chest so did a lateral flow test which was negative. Monday i developed a cough and felt wiped out so did another lateral flow, again negative. on my partners advice i got a pcr test and a positive result came through the next morning sending fear right through me.

now its day 3 and temperature is stable, cough dying down but still have the shivers when i get out of bed. breathing fine and oxygen levels at 98 (i have one of those finger things). The worse symptom is the lower back ache which is awful. anyone else had this or is just because i am in bed so long?? still have smell and taste. would all this be regarded as minor symptoms ?

    sounds like you’re doing OK. The cough is dying down, your oxygen level is good. Just remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. The backache could be from being in bed so much. Just keep taking care of yourself and you should start to feel better soon. Just let your doctor know if you feel poorly or develop a fever but I really doubt that will happen at this point.

    take care of yourself and you will be recovered before you know it. Take care
