You won’t be contracting hep c in licensed medical setting
Hep c for the majority of people have no symptoms which is why it is called a silent illness
Those are not symptoms of initial hep c infection
See your doctor
For hepatitis C monoinfection, these symptoms are not characteristic. This is similar to EBV or HIV, the beginning is the same with sore throat, but there may be all three plus hepatitis C or B, so the doctor and the clinic here can not be the cause of your condition.
Or simply stress related. Excessive worry resulting in poor sleep causing tiredness. Stress related tension causing muscle pain. Palpitations are often associated with stress as well as gastrointestinal issues.
In other words you very easily could be the cause of your symptoms.
Why would you go to the ER for a sore throat anyway? Were you having difficulty breathing or an inability to swallow?
I had a sore throat with cough a couple of months ago the gave me some cough syrup and an inhaler.
Usually the simplest cause is the most likely cause.
-extreme fatigue
-sleepy all the time
-extreme overall muscle weakness
These were my initial symptoms of HepC in its acute stage when the antibody test came back negative. Three months later the test was positive. Contrary to someone else's post, HepC can be contracted in medical settings from misuse of needles.
True there have been some incidents but rare. I do recall and endoscopy center in the Las Vegas area a few years ago that was using a large bottle of polypropafol to sedate patients reusing the same bottle. Big news everyone getting tested for hep b and c along with hiv. Of course the clinic was closed the doctor lost his license I’m sure there is jail time and lawsuits filed. So thankfully not a common place in Ari so thankfully not a common place scenario
