Do I need to get a test

[Whitegrenache]

Have felt rough since Sunday - diarrhoea and nausea. Sweating and shivering but no temperature (in fact it was low!)
No loss of taste etc and no respiratory symptoms

Do I need a corona test or just put it down to tummy bug?

B

Sounds like a stomach bug to me.

If it was just diarrhoea and nausea I'd put it down to tummy bug but with the shivers too, I think I'd test

Sounds exactly like me, except I had a low temp. I got tested- twice- both were negative

DP had an upset stomach and chills as the first sign he was coming down with something. He tested positive.

How low is a low temp?

Low temp, stomach issues could be a sign of sepsis.
Don’t want to scare you, but wanted to point it out.

36 degrees but not poorly enough for sepsis surely

Developed a tickly cough so booked a test

Negative

You did the right thing OP. I tested positive, no cough and no temp. Nausea, chills, bunged up, no appetite, then finally lost the smell/taste.

ANY symptoms could be it, so better to test than not!
