Viral Infection with what symptoms?


My GP did some lab work and, inadvertantly, when the results came back, it indicated that I have a viral infection. GP was very off hand about it, don't worry he says, it'll work itself out. Well I tried to ask several times, but got no different answer than that. Except for lots of stress over the last few months and exhaustion, I can't think of any other symptoms I would have to indicate a viral infection. I have no cold, or sore throat, no flu bug, no nothing. What KIND of viral infection could this be? Is it really without symptoms or am I missing something here? I am very confused and a little worried.

There are all sorts of viruses, not just cold-n-flu...ie:coldsores or herpes. However, you do not need to be sick to have a virus. Your body is probobly actively fighting something. Your immune system might be doing its job so you're not showing symptoms.

If it were me, I would ask the doctor about it again if you haven't already or consult a different one. Viral diseases usually do work themeselves out though.

There are several Viral Infections that hide in the body. Often, not showing any immediate symptoms. It is proven that some will take years to show. I would suggest getting a second opinion,
from a different GP. Also, the lab where your test were done, could have errored on the results. Just get a second opinion some where else to find out for sure and put your mind at ease.
No one wants Viral Infections and on one wants to be told they are infected with out knowing what it is. If this GP of yours will not give you the information, do a Donal Trump on him. "YOU'RE FIRED".
