Coronavirus symptoms: The feeling when you wake up that could be a sign of COVID-19 - Express

Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:41 AM PDT

Coronavirus now affects every walk of life with people being told to stay at home, self-isolate and monitor any unusual symptoms. The most common and well-known symptoms of coronavirus includes fever, cough and shortness of breath. There have been other reported signs such as loss of taste and smell or even possibly a loss of hearing. There is another lesser-known symptom.

Many people have reported different symptoms they experienced before they were diagnosed with coronavirus which is causing a lot of confusion for many.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states on their website: "Reported illness have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 cases.

"These symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure and include fever, cough or shortness of breath."

The health site went on to site emergency warning signs for Covid-19 and to get medical attention immediately.

"Emergency warning signs include trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, a new confusion or bluish lips or face," said CDC.

There is another warning sign which lies in how a person feels when they awake. 

DON'T MISS

If a person has a runny nose or itchy eyes, it doesn't mean they necessarily have the novel coronavirus. However, if there is a dry cough, fatigue and a fever, they might be at risk of having coronavirus.

The problem many are facing is figuring out whether it's just a seasonal flu or in fact the deadly virus.

If a person experiences an inability to wake up after sleeping it could also signal a potential virus infection. According to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, as many as 98 percent of Covid-19 patients who were hospitalised had a fever, between 76 percent and 82 percent had a dry cough and 11 percent to 44 percent reported exhaustion and fatigue.

"Not all symptoms are created equally. While it might seem like you have coronavirus, you may simply be experiencing allergies or influenza," said Lindsey Elmore a pharmacotherapy specialist from PharmaD.
