A new study has listed nine symptoms seen among people who caught Omicron despite being fully vaccinated.
Research conducted in Norway has been published in infectious disease and epidemiology journal, Eurosurveillance.
Researchers studied guests at a party where there had been an Omicron outbreak. Of 111 guests interviewed 66 definitely had Covid, while 15 more possibly had the virus, reports The Mirror.
89% of those at the party had had two doses of a Covid vaccine, but they still displayed nine common symptoms.
These were:
- cough
- runny nose
- fatigue
- sore throat
- headache
- muscle pain
- fever
- sneezing
- nausea
Among these cough, runny nose and fatigue were reportedly most common, while sneezing and fever were least common.
Experts have also warned that there are two symptoms of Omicron that can appear even before a positive test. These are fatigue and dizziness/fainting.
Fatigue is much more than just feeling tired, it can cause body pain due to sore muscles as well as headaches, blurry vision and loss of appetite.
In a poll from WebMD more than 40% of women reported struggling with fatigue due to Covid, compared to one-third of men.
The second early sign that you may have Omicron is dizziness/fainting. A report from Germany claimed that there could be a link between fainting spells and Omicron.
The link was suggested after doctors in Berlin found that Covid was triggering recurrent fainting spells for a 35-year-old patient admitted to hospital.
German newspaper Ärztezeitung added that doctors could see a "clear connection" between the infection and the fainting spells.
