Hi. So I got a email to say my youngest had been in close contact with someone with Covid at nursery. A day before that my partner was poorly chills/hot/body aching/headache. We found out the " close contact" was maybe a week before my partner started getting poorly. It lasted 2 days maybe. Now I've woke up.. chest feeling so tight very horrible cough very dry and harsh at same time, hot and cold sweats banging headache and worst of all, my body is aching to the point where I haven't walked and my partner has just had to put me in the bath! My breathing isn't to the point where I can't breath but there's definitely a shortness of breath there. I took a Covid test yesterday and sent it off as me and eldest son has a coughs that was continuing a lot! DS has woke up today with sore throat. Anybody else has this and it NOT been Covid? I am petrified as I have two younger children in my house I don't want them to get it 😭

I agree with the PP. if the breathlessness is getting worse at this stage I think you need medical advice.

I have just got off the phone to medical advice. They basically said if it gets anyworse in the next couple days ring back and they will have me sent in to get checked

Have you got a health app on your phone? My Samsung health app includes an oximeter - right at the bottom of the screen, it says blood oxygen.
Hope you all fell better soon.

Get the oxometer ordered from Amazon. It was my life saver. I felt exactly as you do but was able to check my Oxygen levels sometimes every 5 minutes and they were perfect so can be just the virus making you feel breathless. It really stops the panic.

Everyone should have an oximeter.
