Hi all! I am a 50 year old type 1 who has been diabetic since 11 years of age. I work as a primary school teacher. Decided that I should self isolate today as beginning to feel a bit ‘off’. Came home from work last night after running to catch a train and my chest felt tight and I had gained a tickly cough. Thought it was nothing at the time. Got up this morning still feeling the same, cough and tightness to chest. It feels weird though, do feel slightly less able to take huge breaths but my chest feels almost like a ‘panic attack/after a long run’ feeling. Am pretty convinced it’s nothing as working in a primary school we pick up everything. I’m normally pretty healthy, blood readings don’t vary that much, pressure always normal etc. Am now on advisement self isolating from today with the family. At the moment temperature is normal. Should I contact my GP/NHS right away to tell them or wait if any other symptoms start.? Just wish I could know if it was this virus or not and then I could get on with my life!
