It's remarkable the number of people anecdotally reporting similar symptoms - often out of character for otherwise robustly healthy individuals. I'm guessing some sort of psychosomatic response to the year's stresses.
- cassianoleal 6y agoIs it that out of character though? I have been having the same, but the main reason why I notice it now is that every time I have any symptom, even the mildest of them, I take notice and consider the possibility of Covid, whereas in past years I would forget about them if even notice at all. For context, I'm a fairly healthy individual who hasn't seen a GP or other medical doctor in at least a couple years, probably longer. Last time I've been to one was because of exercise-related injuries.

- cassianoleal 6y agoOf course it isn't. I don't even bother about mild symptoms, much less go see a doctor or look for a cure. I just take note. It's not hypochondria, it's simple awareness.
