I have been very depressed. i am now very sick and have most symptoms of covid. could the symptoms just be normal ill feeling related to the depression or is it best to go get tested?

COVID testing helps: There are many signs that may suggest depression, such as: feelings of sadness or hopelessness, angry outbursts or irritability, loss of interest in normal activities, sleep disturbances, tiredness or a lack of energy, either weight gain or weight loss due to appetite changes, anxiety or restlessness, slowed thinking, feeling worthless, etc... Seeing one's primary care doctor is a good start.

COVID 19 concerns: Don't know which symptoms you have. COVID 19 sx’s: dry cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nasal congestion, sneezing, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired, loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, chills & muscle aches. Agree with Dr. Kwok that medical assessment is likely the best way to proceed.
