Fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), pale or light colored stools. You may or may not have fever, you may or may not have upper abdominal pain
Ask your doctor because symptoms can be different for different people.
Fatigue, malaise, joint aches, abdominal pain, vomiting 2-3 times per day for the first 5 days, loss of appetite, dark urine, fever, hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and jaundice (icterus). Some chronic forms of hepatitis show very few of these signs and only present when the longstanding inflammation has led to the replacement of liver cells by connective tissue; the result is cirrhosis. Certain liver function tests can also indicate hepatitis.
The first symptoms I had were loss of appetite and yellow in my eyes. I had hepatitis A and it wasnt so bad but your liver is forever damaged!
1. Extreme tiredness (fatigue).
2. Fever.
3. Sore muscles.
4. Headache.
5. Pain on the right side of the abdomen, under the rib cage (where the liver is located).
6. Nausea.
7. Loss of appetite and weight loss.
8. Yellowing of the skin and the white part of the eyes (jaundice), sometimes accompanied by dark urine and clay-colored (whitish) stools. Jaundice is less common in children and younger adults
Symptoms usually appear 15 to 50 days (2 to 7 weeks) after you have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The average time is 30 days. Symptoms usually are mild and may not be noticed in children younger than 6 years of age
Well, let me tell you. I have Hep.C as we people call it. I have no symptoms most of the time, but when I do it's usually just fatigue and no appetite. I've had a liver biopsy and I'm in stage 2,which means I've got 2 more stages before I get to liver failure or skin rashes,jaundice,major weight loss,that's when they put you in the hospital! If you think you have Hep. C, please go & get your blood taken!
depends on which type..hcv usually has a maraide of symptoms, yet goes undiagnosed.
some claim they don't have symptoms.
either way, if your unsure get tested!
