Anyone else experience weight loss from COVID?

I recently had COVID and am finally feeling better after a few weeks of fatigue and other issues. I wasn't expecting the loss of appetite and the general gastro issues that came along with it. I have other health issues, so maybe those were a factor. I ended up losing 25+ pounds. Anyone else experience similar weight loss from coronavirus?

Was like my typical, life-long sinus problems for 3 days. Then, BLAMMO! Got monoclonal infusion, and that knocked out the virus, but still zero energy for a week. 6 weeks later, still have a bit of phlegm and still a bit short on the endurance, but getting better. I had a net loss of about 10-12 pounds.

Diarrhea's been considered a pretty common symptom since early on in the outbreak, but I don't know how common other GI stuff is. Makes sense though that if you get the one, related symptoms could tag along with it.

I hope you're holding up ok and you don't have anything lingering. Feel better soon 馃

I know about 10 people that had it. The weight loss varied, but usually between 10-20 pounds. Most had really bad headaches and the loss of appetite. Took close to a month to almost get back to normal. That bug is no joke.

@DanteD Agreed. But I have some weird health issues that I think made it worse for me.

@HeatherFlorida Best wishes for a complete recovery and an end to the other health concerns....

Curious do you still have issues like lost of taste and so forth? I never would had thought it'd be fairly common to loose weight when having COVID.. Glad it was only mild and not worse. I only heard of one person who may have had it at my job a few months back, but haven't heard what they experienced..

Not from the virus but staying at home lol...I think the gastro issue is common

Did it help reduce your breasts size as you have been hoping for a reduction 馃槼

I'm not talking about quarantine. I'm talking having the virus.
