Nausea, period, Covid?

Question

I have nausea like when I’m pregnant—aversion, craving salt and carbs but nothing settles my stomach. I also started my 2nd period since having twins Dec 2019. My first period Dec 2020 did not have this type of nausea. 
But then I also had fever, cough, achy, headache, stomach issues then nausea starting last week. 
I’m wondering if the big hormonal shift is causing the nausea? I’m still nursing twins. 
Or can a virus cause nausea that’s like pregnancy (I think stomach bugs feel different than pregnancy nausea, right?) 
Or is this THE virus? Does Covid cause nausea that causes food aversions? I mean my husband was cooking meat and it smelled soooo bad. 
Anyone know what happens hormonally when u go back to having periods? This whole array of symptoms is bizarre

Answer

Go get tested. Sense of smell and taste doesn’t only go away, it can be altered. My friend had COVID in April and she still says that lots of food taste or smell like hot garbage. She just had that symptom (which hasn’t gone away after almost a year, they say she might never fully recover those tastes and smells, scary!) plus nausea and fatigue, and with COVID being relatively new she opted for a pregnancy test before getting a COVID test.

Answer

Agree with all the others (so far) - talk to your doctor (call and ask to speak with them to discuss your symptoms rather than making an office appointment) and they'll determine if you should get a Covid test. Getting a test is the only way to know, and better to know than not. 
I've had a lot of nausea this year from a mix of dehydration, poor diet, and exhaustion. I truly thought I might be pregnant the way I felt, so wiped out and sick (definitely not covid), and taking a couple days making my husband do everything for the kids and just resting, drinking a ton of water, and making sure to eat regularly, plus adding a postnatal vitamin, made a huge difference. I still find if I overextend myself I start feeling sick again. Lots of things can cause nausea! Including covid, so definitely talk to your doctor and get tested if they say you should. 
Good luck, hope you feel better soon!

I’ve had a gi bug for a few days... the baby threw up and has been 💩, but I just had stomach pain, nausea, food aversion, massive bloat, lack of appetite and the smell of my husbands/toddler foods had me so 🤢. Today I started spotting, so going to start my period over a week early. Joy. So idk- mine def was a gi bug bc the baby got it at daycare, then my husband got it, then I got the above... but it would hurt to reach out to your dr to see if you should get covid tested.
