Sore throat yesterday and today full of cold!

Just done a test as feel a bit yuk and really runny nose and a bit hot. Ive been taking ibuprofen as hot and thought will just do a test and it's positive.

My boss wont have me in the office there's not many of us and if we all go down and become ill, there's no one to run the place!!! So I can work from home.

BUT Im worried about my husband - he has really high blood pressure and it has risen dramatically recently and he's under investigation for it with GP - as family history of heart attacks etc.

Do I keep away from him
Do I sleep somewhere else - although no spare room

We've had so much bad luck recently I just dont think I could cope with anything else bad happening!

Yes & a streaming nose, roof of mouth really itchy..I don’t have any tests so not sure if it’s Covid or a bad cold. Yesterday had headache, day before couldn’t keep warm but today nose began to stream, miserable.

I've just got over it, horrendous heavy cold verging on sinusitis and bed bound for a couple of days. Fatigue lingering into week 3. Don't panic at what you can't change but I would keep clear of DH. My heart rate was worryingly high with even the lightest exercise last week.

I had the high heart rate, it even set an alarm off on my Apple Watch!

UPDATE
DH has to sleep next to me tonight as DS is back so no spare room 😔 settes are 2 seater so tiny. He's still negative.

Just what it is we can isolate allday but not at night
