Sluggishness
You might start to feel slower than usual, and it might be more challenging to focus. The sluggishness will only become more pronounced as it goes, so it’s a good idea to take the onset symptoms as cues to get started with rest and recuperation. You still have some time before the sluggishness becomes too noticeable, which is your body’s way of giving you a moment to get everything in order. Combating sluggishness is about getting as much rest as you can. It’s not a good idea to keep your eyes glued to a computer or smartphone screen, as light sensitivity can cause a headache or worsen a current headache. Sluggishness is just another on the list of symptoms that will likely occur with a head cold.
The good news is even if you’re feeling sluggish, it’s a common symptom for most viral infections and is usually not an indicator of anything serious. Instead, it’s simply a sign that your body needs to recover from whatever it’s fighting. It might take a few days to shake off the sluggishness, though it could take longer based on how much you can rest.
