As many of us are fighting a war against Coronavirus, a brave 22-YO, who tested Coronavirus positive, tweeted her symptoms to spread awareness among others. In her quest to save others from this deadly disease, this woman shared what she went through from Day 1 to Day 10.
The severe Coronavirus epidemic has caused a lot of chaos and fear around the globe. Hence, to reduce the fear and spread more awareness about the deadly virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) has laid down important guidelines and precautionary measures to be followed during these troubled times.
In addition to WHO, there have been some brave souls, who have been affected by the COVID-19, have also shared their stories in a bid to help others.
Recently, a woman who claimed to be infected with coronavirus shared her story to relieve stress during the pandemic, reports Hindustan Times.
Here’s Bjonda Haliti’s tweet that captures all her symptoms from Day 1-10 that could be helpful :
I’m 22 years old and I tested positive for COVID-19.
I’ve been debating on posting, but I want to share my experience especially with those around my age to help bring awareness, and to relieve any stress/anxiety some may have due to the pandemic.

Day 1: It started with a mild DRY cough and a slightly sore throat. I was very tired that night.

Day 2: I felt a lot of pressure in my head to the point I would have to cough softly to avoid the discomfort. That night, I experienced the chills and had a fever. One main symptom that stood out to me, my eyes physically hurt. They were tender and sore.

Day 3: Energy levels VERY low, I only slept, and still ran fevers. At this point, my symptoms were: dry cough, migraine, fever, chills, some nausea. I decided to go to the doctors where I tested negative for the flu and strep.

The doctor told me I probably just had an infection and prescribed me antibiotics and 800mg of ibuprofen. I made sure to stay extremely hydrated and stocked up on vitamins and probiotics. That night, I still ran a fever.

Day 4: Finally no more fever, but a new symptom showed up: shortness of breath. It was uncomfortable, it felt like I had bricks on my chest. I tried the self diagnose test I read online (hold your breath and count to 10) which I successfully did with no complications.

Day 5: Symptoms: sore throat, cough, shortness of breath. I went to the same doctor and I was very adamant about getting tested. Doctor said my vitals were “unremarkable” but I wasn’t going to take no for an answer! I also requested chest X-rays, everything came out normal.
