Coronavirus or anxiety?!

Woke up with a heavy feeling on my chest. Just like when my anxiety was bad. I’ve no other obvious symptoms. I can breathe but I’m ‘aware’ of my breathing, if that makes sense. I’m clearing my throat a lot but I do smoke, so I tend to do that anyway.
I’m inwardly freaking out about this damn virus. Can’t let it show as I have children and I don’t want to worry them any more than they already are
Thanks for listening x

At the moment sounds like anxiety rather than CV, if you’ve no fever or cough Flowers

I thought I had CV last week because I couldn’t catch a breath and also had a heavy feeling and sore throat. Actually.... I then noticed it was worse whenever I left the house...I’m not the least bit neurotic so never occurred to me that it could be anxiety!

Me too! I'm not even thinking about it when it happens, but I know how deep psychosomatic illness goes, so I figure that's it.

Glad I’m not alone in this. I’m literally obsessed with my breathing!

That sounds like anxiety to me, OP!

I was going to ask same.
Had symptoms last week - high temp, sore throat, feeling awful (dizzy, tired) etc but no real cough.
Last 2-3 days my chest feels tight and the cough is still sporadic. It’s uncomfortable more than really affecting breathing, I have no underlying conditions.
Am on day 9 now and feel fine in myself.
