Stomach pains

Does anyone know if stomach pains can be the only symptom of Corona? No vomiting or bowel issues. Just pains in abdomen. No fever or coughing.

I haven't heard anything saying that would be a symptom without other things going on.

Here is a list of symptoms of Covid-19, the disease caused by the Corona virus.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

If your stomach pains are not accompanied by any of these, I think you can safely rule out Covid-19 until you can be tested.

Commonly, abdominal pains are caused by constipation or diverticulitis. A doctor or urgent care clinic can help you better than the Internet or a shopping channel forum.

It's my daughter that is having the stomach issue. She did call her doctor and set up an appointment.

@marip -

The disturbing and anxiety producing thing is it seems that every symptom under the sun can be a symptom of this d.... virus!

I know in my family we have often wondered if this or that was the virus.

I think if it goes away, not to worry.

I think stomach pains are also one of the most common troublesome things we all experience.

@marip I don't think so, but good that she is checking with the doctor.

I get that about a few times a month. The cause was either strong coffee, excedrin for pain.

What I keep in the pantry, first Is peppermint tea. This usually takes care of it. If it doesn,t, next step is Alavera juice. This definitely stops it.

The Dr. Did an endoscopy and everything ok.

The Ala Vera juice is called, stomach formula and health food stores should have it. I got mine at Whole foods. Works like a charm.

Stomach pains could be from anything. I once thought I had indigestion and it turned out to be appendicitis. See a doctor.

@marip Yes, some patients had only abdominal distress as their symptoms.

@gizmogal @Respectfully, these are the most common symptoms seen. You do not have to have any of them to be sick with COVID-19. You can have one symptom when presenting, and it doesn't not have to be on this list. You can't rule out COVID-19 if you have abdominal distress with none of the other symptoms listed. A case like this would not be the most likely to test positive, but there are cases that have done so.

@marip @It's probably something else, but there's a slim possibility it's COVID-19. Chances are it's one of many other causes of stipomach pain. You didn't describe the pain.

@marip @marip @above are much more likely than COVID-19. There's even more causes than this list for stomach pain. COVID-19 is probably not the cause. Trapped wind, food poisoning, period pain, Norovirus, food allergy are just a few of the causes that aren't listed here.

@marip it is possible that COVID causes only stomach pain but it's not very likely. The responders here are just guessing about this. I'm not guessing:

"A recent analysis of more than 200 people admitted to three hospitals in Hubei, China -- the province where the virus called SARS-CoV-2 originated -- with mild cases of COVID-19 found that almost 1 in 5 had at least one gastrointestinal symptom, such as diarrhea, vomiting, or belly pain. Nearly 80% also lacked an appetite.

Those symptoms can stem from other common causes, including stomach flu or food poisoning. But if you have COVID-19, GI problems may slow your recovery. And the digestive symptoms may worsen as you get sicker."
