Should I get tested?

Hi, I am a 35 y/o male, living a few km from Seri Petaling mosque but no overseas travel and no contact with covid positive patient.
Since last wednesday, I had been having bouts of elevated body temperature up to 37.5C, especially in late afternoon to night. It usually goes away by late night. Since yesterday, this has stopped. I dont have sore throat/ cough, except when need to remove small amount of phlegm. Today, I felt light headed for a while (now it has gone away). Should I get tested for Covid?
