hi all ive been unwell for three weeks now with chest pain , arm ache , shortness of breath and chest tightness , back ache and leg aches so i rang NHS 111 today as my chest pain got worse they advised me to go to A&E to get checked out so i went to A&E told them my symptoms which i was expecting them to check if everything was okay with my heart instead they said i had covid 19 and give me a mask and told me to go home to self isolate but i have no fever or no persistant cough so im feeling very unsure about it all

    did they run any tests on you? Or just assume that you had COVID-19?

    even if you have it, they most likely feel your symptoms are not severe enough and they are sending a lot of people home to recuperate there. Very often people are safer recuperating at home, rather than an infected hospital, as long as their symptoms are mild. Just take care of yourself and get a lot of rest. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and stay away from people. If your symptoms get worse, then you need to be reevaluated.

    hang in there ❤
