4. Upset Stomach and Nausea
An isolated incident of an upset stomach is probably not a cause for concern. But add this to a laundry list of typical shingles symptoms and it quickly becomes a sign of the virus being reactivated in the system.
As with the flu-like symptoms, an upset stomach and nausea are more accompanying ailments than defining symptoms. The upset stomach and nausea normally occur prior to the onset of the rash. Individuals should consult a physician to treat these symptoms.
