My wife has covid

I put it right under my arm in middle said 35c so maybe not doing it correctly?

So wife phoned about leg pain but it moved to pins and needles and she felt something stuck in her throat could be anxiety but she’s worried about her breathing or something so she phoned 111 and waiting for a doctor could be anxiety as he symptoms switching any ideas on here?

The problem with Covid is you just don’t know. So many varied things that can happen. Best for her to check in with a doc. Hopefully it’s nothing but it never hurts to check in with them.

Do you have a pulse ox meter? One of those things that slips on your finger to measure oxygen? She could check her O2 that way. I know many docs over here were handing them out to patients for home use.

She has a blood oxygen thing on her smart watch I think it said it’s normal

I feel like that’s a pretty positive sign! Hopefully she will hear back from a doctor soon and they’ll give her some guidance.

Normal temp is 37 Phil. It shouldn't go under 36 but you'd know if your temp was 33, you'd be very very unwell.

So I have probably been reading it wrong as I’ve been doing it wrong all year then.

My wife phoned 111 again they said she has anxiety from being in the room so it seems her symptoms are anxiety based

My wife takes a lateral flow test on Wednesday for her work if it’s negative she can go back I assume by then it’s safe to see her and for her to walk around house and go outside?

I never underestimate anxiety symptoms.
Trouble is with all the Covid fear people will think it's another symptom. Good you got it sorted out Phil.
I expect your wife will still be feeling quite weak even if she gets a negative result. She will know when she is ready to go back to work.
