You really should get a heart scan....

Posted by Charles Waisbren on December 03, 2021 at 12:20 PM

Posted by Charles Waisbren on November 05, 2021 at 12:16 PM

It is indeed difficult to differentiate between the flu and a Covid 19 infection. Both can present with nasal stuffiness, sore throat, cough, fever and diarrhea. Loss of taste and smell for sure will let you know that it is Covid. Otherwise, you really will need to be tested for Covid to rule in or out the flu/Covid 19.

Booster Time!

Posted by Charles Waisbren on October 29, 2021 at 1:52 PM
