Have you been tested? I think it's best to consult with a doctor if your symptoms are persistent. What symptoms have you had for so long?

@Shaun1999 Hello Shaun1999, I'm sorry you're experiencing symptoms, that must be very frightening for you! Have you been in contact with your doctor or with the NHS helpline? They should be able to give you some advice as to what to do.

Take care,

Courtney

@Shaun1999 Hi as just wondering how you are feeling now? I like yourself have been ill since 16/3 and although not symptomatic anymore still not right I was wondering how you were feeling and what your symptoms are now I like yourself have had no test to confirm I had covid19 but gp seems to think I did. I have been left with a chest phlemgy cough that just won’t go a wheeze that won’t go and out of breath walking still under gp who is monitoring me as I’m still not right.hope you are recovering well 🌈
