Covid Symptoms Mimicking Sinus & An Overactive Bladder

Posted by 2herbalteasanchatter @2herbalteasanchatter, Jun 7 9:32am

Hi guys. I thought I had a sinus problem (congestion from forehead to nose) with a slight headache. A few days later, I took an at home COVID test and tested positive. After testing positive, I had one night of frequent urination. Thankfully that ended but the constant headaches and the feeling of being a walking inferno escalated. I wanted to alert all that may be experiencing sinus issues when in fact it may be COVID.

Just a thought with the frequent urination- COVID triggered newly onset diabetes for me, so if your increased urination continues, or you have increased thirst, you may just want to do a spot blood glucose check.

You’re right. Thank you. I heard about people being diagnosed with diabetes after battling Covid.

I hope that you feel better! COVID is a psychological burden as well as physical. So many unknowns, so many different symptoms. Hang in there.

Well, you and I are the first ones I’ve noted on this blog with overactive bladder issues. I was diagnosed with Covid in June 2022. My symptoms were low fever, cough, congestion. Then, I’ve be casually walking to the bathroom without feeling a sense of urgency. It would be like somebody turned the valve and it wasn’t me as I peed down my legs. This occurred throughout the 10 days of Covid. After 10 days, the urgency and frequency continued. I was referred to a gynourologist who listened, performed tests, and diagnosed me with an overactive bladder, sending me home with samples to try. I’d been treated for a UTI two weeks before testing positive for Covid. A year later the overactive bladder is improving with medication.
