Should I get a covid test or not?

[StormsDontLastForever]

Had a few covid tests over the last few months, I say few but I mean 3 in total since the testing began.

Last few days I have had a very itchy throat, it's also sore, a slight cough, wouldn't say I go into a coughing fit bit it comes and goes and is annoying! Have been very tired and drained feeling the last few days.

Was going to book a covid test for tomorrow but dp keeps calling me covid 19 as I've already had 3 tests previously each time I did have temperature etc so had valid reasons for testing, but all were negative.

Do I go for a test? Or just accept it could be a change in the weather or something? Thanks

Those were my first symptoms.

I'd get a test

Yes there's no reason not to. I had 3 over about 9 months and then the 4th was positive

I think 3 tests in the last 3 months might be strange, but 3 tests since summer is a normal amount. Just order the test and see if it goes through, apparently if you have had too many recently they will refuse on the spot.

Yes get tested if you’re in doubt. Hope it’s negative.

Thanks all I will update you all with my results. Will book my test tomorrow morning

Test was negative but still feel the same & have a really annoying cough which is worse at night. But at least I don't have covid.

Glad it’s negative. You did the right thing in getting a test, hope your dp isn’t giving you a hard time.
