Hello,
For the past month I've been monitoring my temperature a lot more due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Right when things were hitting the US, I was already dealing with a lingering mild cough which I thought nothing of. One night after a strenuous workout I developed a fever and gastrointestinal problems (with some vomiting) for about 12 hours. It was gone after that, but I had a lingering cough still. That eventually went away, but I've been having recurring low grade temperatures of about 99.1 about once a week, and usually after a difficult workout. When I take days off or do light workouts, I have no temperature. In fact, now that I've been monitoring my temperature so much, I'm alarmed by how LOW my temperature can get -- even 95 sometimes. When my temperature gets this low, I also feel a bit off, just lethargic and maybe a little light headed. I am in very good shape and have a resting heart rate in the 40's, but I'm concerned about what is going on with me -- am I fighting some underlying virus, or do I have a medical issue? Has my temperature always done this but I just never knew?
Side note: I asked to get tested for COVID-19 when I first got the fever and I was outright rejected by my doctor as she said my symptoms were not consistent.
Thanks,
Christie
