Chest infection. GP or don't bother?

[Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting]

Wheezy, sats 93 at night, exhausted, cough, aching , shortness of breath, temperature but negative covid test. I'm not sure if I should see a GP or they will just tell me to rest at home. Viral probably. Day 2 off sick. How long should I be off? I'm a teacher so can't take it easy at work. But feel so guilty. Just walking around at home for a but makes me shattered and I've been in bed most of the time. Opinions please.

You sound like you need to call a gp if you are that breathless and your sats are dropping that low

I'd have it checked out if you're very short of breath. I had a similar chest infection that I ignored and turned into pneumonia so I guess I'm scarred by that experience but I'd call GP if I were you.

I'd try and speak to a GP - you might need antibiotics if it is a chest infection.

GP. They should be able to give you something

Yes contact the GP if you're that ill.

You need to see a doctor (from a doctor!)

Thanks

You don’t know it’s viral, it cousin be bacterial and need antibiotics to clear it. Don’t leave it

It could

Yes, you need the GP. Face to face if possible so that they can listen to your chest.

Hope you can get an appointment and the right treatment.

It could turn to pneumonia so do get checked out.

Phoning doctor now thank you

Been to GP and got steroids. Thanks for advice
