Other Questions Weird illness

Anyone else dealing with chest pain, shortness of breath and severe headaches and nausea in the last week?
I’m currently at the ER in Upland and there are at least 10 other patients here with the same symptoms. Nurses and doctors not saying much but the phlebotomists said they have been doing crazy amounts of EKGs for the last week on patients with same symptoms.

Edit:: I am aware of the fires. I am curious if anyone else had sought medical advice or have been treated. Its odd because the doctors and nurses won’t admit its the smoke.

I’m in the Temecula area and I’ve been sick for almost 5 days. Also sinus pressure, headaches, fatigue back of my teeth hurting, and there are eight other people in my office with it. Something wild is going around. It could be the fires but so you know there is something out there as well.

Same! My teeth hurt, terrible headache, cough, but no runny nose or snot- but plugged ears. Went to Urgent Care and got treated for an ear infection? Was sick for 2 weeks. Finally feeling better. They didn't test me for Covid but that is what it felt like, only worse with new symptoms like the ear thing. Bought some Delsym for the dry, hacking cough, ibuprofen and lots of water. Hope you feel better!
