Symptom Checker

[cassa333]

I can’t find the symptom I usually use for some reason so wondered if anyone can help.

My friend said she thinks I have Coronavirus but my symptoms don’t seem to match the ones on the NHS site, or tbh the other sites either.

1. For no apparent reason I went very hot and sweaty
2. Light headed
3. Wobbly legs and uncoordinated.

I had to sit down for half an hour but it did mostly pass.

That was six hours ago but I now have a headache but not a particularly high temperature (unless Imsit next to the radiator lol)

I think was just an anomaly and now it’s just a headache.

What do other recon?

How old are you - could it be a hot flush?
If you haven't got a temperature ( that's not just feeling hot) and no cough then I doubt you've got Covid-19

sounds like the menopause to me. Feeling that you are hot doesn't mean you are running a temp. Symptoms are two. Running a temp and a new persistent dry cough.

snap APG

The menopause boat sailed many many years ago lol

My temperature has gone up to about 100f. Not totally accurate as it is just one of those forehead strips.

My friend, who is the font of all knowledge..... said that if you look at what people who have had it say, they are reporting similar symptoms.

I work in a supermarket cafe and come into contact with lots of people all the time.

100f is 37.8 which might be normal for you. you say temp has gone up...did it stay up? I am now 15ish years post menopause and 20 years post perimenopause and I still get the hot flushes and funny turns. Have you got a new cough?

[douglas9401]

Could you have progressed from menopause to menorestart?

[cassa333]

My temperature is definitely up on normal but I think it is because I have a headache.

[woofgang]

please please no let that not be a thing

[cassa333]

What is menorestart? I’ve just tried to google it but came up blank.

[margarettom]

It's a joke. Meno - pause
Meno - restart

The clue was in the poster.

[Peter Pedant]

yes deffo corona
isolate

you have a temp and rigors and shaking
so you fulfil the criteria

[Peter Pedant]

// 100f is 37.8 which might be normal for you.//
a normal body temp of this is very very unlikely

[cassa333]

I think it’s just a headache. But I shall see in the morning how I feel.

My friend is convinced I have the virus but I’m not

[Peter Pedant]

um er silly I know
but if you were sure you didnt have it
why did you ask us?

[Canary42]

Don't be rude Peter

You have a slight temperature, but no cough? Most of those symptoms seem to be anything but... although I am guessing, like everyone else...! A headache can be a symptom, with body aches.
Have you put this into the NHS link... I will find it, just in case xx

PP it was measured in a forehead strip....they aren't the most accurate of measures

[jourdain2]

I still get sudden onrushes of heat (I'm 70) wobbliness etc. - it's the never-ending-*** menopause (20 years now and counting!). You need to have a new, persistent cough as well as a temperature over 38.7 before you think of coronavirus.

I assume you aren't diabetic?
