Do I need to worry about Covid-19?

Hi all, been feeling unwell since yesterday morning. I just wanted to check if these sounded like coronavirus symptoms?

Yesterday morning both me and my partner woke up feeling very hot - we believe this is because we had a winter duvet on the bed and have no air flow or windows in the bedroom, and with the warmer weather, we think we must have overheated a little. When I got up to go to the toilet, I felt really hot and a little light-headed, achy. I didn't want to touch my usual morning tea as I felt queasy as well. I attempted to eat lunch, but only felt more nauseous after a couple bites. My boyfriend, although he felt hot and a little nauseous upon waking up, felt fine after an hour or two, and still is.

Early in the afternoon, I threw up. I felt better and relieved of my nausea for a little while until I started to feel achy, nauseous and feverish again. I was sick again shortly after. I had a couple of naps in the afternoon which made me feel better. By the end of the day I felt significantly better, only a little achy and a little hot. I never measured my temperature as I don't currently have a thermometer, but it felt that any potential fever was dwindling as I was no longer fidgeting or feeling any slight chills.

I slept well, only woke up with a slight headache and much lesser body aches, which have mostly gone as of now. I no longer feel feverish or hot to touch, and have been able to eat and drink (just unable to do my usual quantities). I look a lot better today too. I would just like to say that I am not pregnant (haven't had sex since my last period), and I have had zero contact with the outside world since lockdown has begun. I am isolating with my boyfriend and his family at their home in a rural area. I only go out for walks. His parents have been doing the shopping as we are working from home full-time. They have been very careful in doing so and follow all the precautions. I was going to consider being tested today if I still felt feverish, but I don't. Nobody believes I have it, but I am a hypochondriac so it still worries me. I have no other symptoms and feel far better today. Should I be concerned that this is covid?

    I would be very surprised if it was you would have got it not only by what you described but also the fact that the covid pod is not taking in any more patients in my area so it is likely that the first phase is coming to an end if you could get tested to put your mind at ease that may be a good thing because symptoms only show up for a week or so I think but Im pretty certain you will be OK Gary

    Doesn't sound much like COVID-19.

    More like a bacterial bug or even food poisoning.

    For gosh sakes get a thermometer, a nice electric one that you can stick in your armpit for thirty seconds costs a couple of bucks.
