High pulse rate, short breath

[monkfishjoe]

I went to a supermarket 8 days ago and people weren't social distancing.

3 days later I started to get a sore throat and sore glands in my neck and groin.

This morning I woke up feeling dizzy and sick (general bad tum). I've had a pulse rate of 90-100bpm all day and have felt like I'm struggling for breath. Terrified I have covid19. Or is it probably just anxiety?

That describes anxiety perfectly, but you would very likely have intermittent or constant fever if it was Covid. Even a normal cold/infection will up your heart rate a lot anyway, and if you're anxious your breathing can be effected.

Just keep an eye on it and call 111 if it gets worse.

Thank you for your response. That's what I think I know deep down!
