I'm getting myself very stressed I've been isolating since last Wednesday, and if I really need to go out I wear a mask and gloves, I'm type 2 and had a mild heart attack 5 years ago, I'm not longer taking blood pressure tablets as i have cut right down on my smoking, but every symptom I get I think I have corona virus and work myself right up. Could I get some advice please
 
As its mainly a respiratory illness my best advice would be use it as a reason to stop smoking completely?

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. What took you so long to post.. :)

It sounds like you're doing the right thing protecting yourself & others in the comunity.
It's great you've cut back on the smokes.. They tend to act as a stimulant, a little like coffee, (in some respect.) they don't calm you down. & more likely hop up any form of anxiety?

Best wishes.
