Have I got it? Have I f*cked up?

Last week I noticed a litle breathless when I walked to the bus from work. Nothing major, not struggling to breathe but something off. Around the same time I woke one AM with a scratchy throat that was away I think before I showered. I was also a bit warm, sweaty... put it down to the duvet, and two blankets. I've been having sore heads on and off. I've been going to work as usual, mentioned it a few times and we've all dismissed it as anxiety.

Thing is, I've woken up in the past a bit sweaty, with a scratchy throat that lasted longer, I haven't had my specs changed in years.... I get sore heads. The breathlessness is unusual. Haven't felt overly warm. No cough, other than your standard tickle or that kind when simething catches you.

I was with my mum and baby niece yesterday. I live with my 74 year old dad.

Do I have this? Have I fucked up by not isolating sooner?

I have rhinitis which makes me cough and gives me a dry throat but this is not new for me. You are looking for new symptoms of fever or a persistent dry cough.
This is quite helpful
