Making Sense of Symptoms

Your guide to avoiding coronavirus, flu and confusion this flu season.

It sometimes feels like the more we learn about coronavirus, the harder it is to discern it from other illnesses.

Now, flu season is upon us now, which is sure to present perplexing questions: Does having a fever mean I have COVID? Is this stuffy nose the result of a cold, or could it be the flu? Or allergies?

There are at least a dozen symptoms shared by some or all of those ailments, making it nearly impossible to know what you have without a diagnostic test, a medical exam or both.

The good news is that, in many cases, you don’t need to know the cause in order to know what to do. The key is to watch for changes in your or family’s health and to respond promptly.

To help, we’ve put together this side-by-side comparison of symptoms as a quick reference.

CORONAVIRUS vs. COLD vs. FLU vs. ALLERGIES

There are lots of similarities between illness from the coronavirus and the flu, but there are some differences that help doctors distinguish them.

A key difference is the incubation period for the viruses -- that is, the time it takes to develop symptoms after exposure to it. The flu always strikes quickly, typically one to three days. Coronavirus, however, can take anywhere from two to 14 days. Which is why it’s important to isolate right away after being exposed so as not to unknowingly infect others.

People usually recover from the flu in seven to 10 days, while it’s believed that it takes at least 10 days to recover from the coronavirus, especially those with severe cases, which can mean several weeks or even months of gradual recovery.

The symptoms themselves are a bit more tricky to distinguish. Below is a list of 12 symptoms that are easily confused among coronavirus, the flu, the cold and allergies.

Fever: Coronavirus and flu both cause fever, but it’s rare for the common cold. COVID-19 patients usually have a fever of 100 F or higher, while flu sufferers often experience fever of 100F to 102F that lasts three to four days.

Headache: COVID-19 patients sometimes have headaches. Flu sufferers often experience intense headaches. Headaches are rare with the cold, but sometimes caused by allergies.

Extreme exhaustion: Patients with the coronavirus sometimes experience this intense form of fatigue, but it typically progresses slowly. Flu, on the other hand, often causes severe exhaustion as an early symptom.

Body aches and pains: The flu virus often causes body aches that are severe. Aches are sometimes present with coronavirus, but not always.

Fatigue and weakness: Very similar to body aches, fatigue and weakness are more common and usually more severe with the flu than with the coronavirus.

Stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, sore throat: One or more of these are sometimes present with the flu, but they’re all rare for the coronavirus.

Cough: Common to both flu and coronavirus.

Shortness of breath: A serious symptom which occurs in severe cases of coronavirus, but rarely with the flu. Seek immediate medical attention immediately if you experience this life-threatening symptom.

Diarrhea: Sometimes caused by both coronavirus and the flu.

Easily confusing bc there are quite a number of overlapping symptoms between C-19 and Flu/Cold.

In Singapore, 1 in 10 people above the age of 60 suffers from dementia. This corresponds to approximately 82,000 people in 2018 and this number is projected to increase to 152,000 by 2030.

 

 

Did you know that almost half (45.5%) of dementia cases in Singapore are vascular dementia? You may also be surprised to learn that you can take steps now to lower your risk of vascular dementia.

 

Vascular Dementia
Vascular dementia is a common type of dementia, which is an illness that affects the brain, leading to progressive memory loss, decline in intellectual ability and personality changes. It affects a person’s ability to think, learn and make decisions.
Vascular dementia is caused by reduced supply of blood to the brain due to damaged blood vessels, depriving brain cells of vital oxygen and nutrients.
 
 
Alzheimer’s Disease
Other than vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease is another common type of dementia. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive illness in which the nerve cells of the brain are destroyed and the brain substance shrinks. The cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not fully understood but it’s likely a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors.

i starting to like this IF or one meal per day (OMAD)

 

begin 2 day fast last meal is friday night

 

 

23/4/2021

 

sugar level on 24/4/2021 night is 120 mg/dL

24/4/2021  3pm 95 mg/dL

24/4/2021  11.30pm 102mg/dL

 

 

 

25/4/2021

 

25/4/2021  11.30am 95mg/dL

25/4/2021  2pm 98mg/dL

 

break fast at 4pm with some plain tom yum soup (invite only a handful of veggi)

25/4/2021  9.20pm 119mg/dL

 

 

 

 

i think this will end here so i roughly know my sugar level when i fast but will be testing blood for this whole day often then to once per day then slowly reduce

 

 

 

 

note:

no insulin was taken after friday night, i only begin to take when i have my meal on sunday evening

 

I am following jason fung,  Sten Ekberg, Peter Attia, etc....

 

 

 

it should take a few month of fasting (OMAD daily and once per month of 3 day fasting), high fat, low carb, correct amount of protein based on my weight to reverse any Insulin Resistance  or to regen those beta cell or even to see the result

Tried using it a few times but sometimes anxiety just take control of me.

 

Have u got to the root of your anxiety attacks? 

 

Quite often its said to be psychological.

 

But sometimes, respiratory/allergy/migraine issues cold be the underlining root cause/triggers.
