I recently had a COVID19 Scare! But it was just a painful sinus infection. My head ached, my muscles were sore, I felt fatigued. I was having trouble swallowing and breathing. These symptoms are similar to COVID19 symptoms. I immediately turned to the internet and the CDC. The Centers for Disease Control's website is excellent. It helped me and my doctors determine that I did not have COVID, I had a nasty sinus infection. Two reasons I am sharing this story. Knowledge is power, better to hear about the symptoms again and again to avoid trouble. And Communication Skills helped me get through this scare. I was able to communicate fullying with doctors and nurses, and I got the help I needed. One-On-One during a video doctor's visit! When the US first began reporting cases of COVID19, I searched everywhere for information on symptoms. They were difficult to find. Now we just need to log on to the CDC', Centers for Disease Control's website. The link is below. And I have more information on my website, https://gloriamoraga.com/. Here is the shortlist of symptoms: Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea CDC- U.S. Centers for Disease Control https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html
