My symptoms, could it be COVID?

Hi,

I have a cough which I would describe as a chesty cough, no phlegm. I did have it constantly for an hour, then since I have had it sparingly, but I feel a slight irritation in my chest as I breath...

I have also got pressure in my face, particularly around the cheek area.

I am susceptible to getting a bad cough every few years and maybe it's the start of that again, but I never had the face pressure alongside the harsh coughs I have had in the past.

This isn't a cold either, no runny nose, sore throat.

My symptoms sound similar to anyone else's who has had COVID?

Sounds very much as if it could be. Isolate, get a test, and get well soon

You really shouldn't be asking for medical advice, it's against MSE rules.
Use the 111 online help service.

As above book yourself a test or phone 111 for advice , no one on here can say with any certainty whether or not you are likely to have Covid.
