I have been experiencing like a gassy abdominal pain and chest pain since last two weeks. But i do not have sore throat, fever or flue. Is it the symptom of covid-19
I am confused some articles that i have gone through say yes and some say otherwise.
However, thus far i have not been in contact nor near with any of the positive covid-19 person or involve in any social gathering since February 2020.
I have been at home since the lock down period with 5 of my family members.
At this juncture should i go for the test or it is just that i am paranoid. Due to the test fees is also quite expensive thus i shall wait for your advise.
