Weird symptoms

I realised today that I've been feeling 'off for about a week now.
I feel like my heart is racing and can also feel it in the base if my throat if that makes sense.
Today I've started to cough a bit but definitely not the uncontrolled type coughing I've been watching out for, and my chest feels a bit sore but not from coughing iyswim.
My taste and smell are still normal and I don't/haven't had a temp.
I am tired and headachey but that's pretty normal for me.

Should I test?

If you've got a new persistent cough I'd test. Hope you're ok

Thanks merlotormalbec

It's not persistant but I feel like I could cough most of the time but I'm not.
The heart racing is the thing that's worrying me most because it's non stop.

Yes I would test.

I'd test, although if you've had some of these symptoms for a week, and may not get a test til tmrw, it could be too late for it to show positive even if you are infected. I think the guidance now says latest it's worth doing is 8 days from onset of symptoms.
