kellysmail2016, I had a very high heart rate for quite a while after COVID. I was concerned as I know COVID can affect your heart. The high heart rate was tiring and made me feel anxious.
I went to a Cardiologist, wore a Halter Monitor, had an EKG, Echo & Stress Test done and all was fine. When I had COVID the 2nd time, I went again and had my heart checked and I'm grateful it was fine.
I will say this, having thyroid disease causes palpitations with me. COVID worsened those. Praise the Lord those are calming down as well.
You don’t say what sort of heart/ circulation problems you are being tested for, but just to say I have had high BP, and high HR for 4 1/2 years after originally getting Covid. Had ecgs, 24-hour BP monitor, echocardiogram and cardiologists declaring no problem; similarly respiratory consultants cannot detect anything wrong with chest x-rays and respiratory tests. Yet even with 5 different hypertensive drugs my BP is high, I get breathless doing a small domestic job from brushing my teeth to ( most noticeably) standing cooking at a stove. I actually started to faint completely ( followed by vomiting…not nice when out in town!). I DIY a NASA lean test and diagnosed PoTS, but local hospital not so sure. Saw a specialist Falls consultant with tilt test table and she diagnosed ‘postural hypotension, definitely not PoTS’, as BP plummeted to 61/40 after 8 mins.standing and HR driven upwards to compensate , to get oxygen to brain. She removed and altered timing of hypertensives but released me back to my GP, who seems to be unable to understand diagnosis, and has put me back on one of the hypertensive drugs. He meanwhile is insisting my existing hypothyroidism, or rather the hormone replacement treatment, is causing the high HR! Anyway cardiologists where I live completely uninterested in circulation/ heart etc problems…hope you get better results/ treatment.
No heart issues prior to Jan 2021. Wildly erratic BP and pulse started in Nov 2021. Started on Losartan. BP leveled a bit. Had a 7 day Clio heart patch, nothing found More wild swings, started on Amlodipine. Had a heart ultrasound, nothing 'significant. BP has been reasonably well controlled. Had a heart CT calcium scan and am now diagnosed with 4.2 thoracic aortic aneurysm. Apparently this was 3.9 in earlier heart ultrasound. So yes to heart issues.

Hi there Covidstinks2023,
The Tachycardia is annoying. I have SVT already since 2008. This is different though. I’m sure Covid messed with my SVT. I really want to know if anyone was diagnosed with CHF, heart attacks or something like this. I read some get organ damages. Maybe I will rephrase my question. Thanks for your reply. Where are my hands?🙏
Got Covid in Feb. 2023. Was fully vaccinated and took Paxlovid. Couple weeks later began having dyspnea on exertion and slow, irregular heartbeat. EKG and Holter monitoring showed occasional premature atrial and ventricular beats but nothing definitive. The dyspnea kept getting worse and by May I was in the ER and diagnosed with complete heart block. Had a pacemaker inserted the next day. Had some complications with the pacemaker, developed antrial fib and congestive heart failure. Had to have the leads replaced in December. Today, the heart issues are pretty much resolved but now am struggling with recurrence of asthma. The doctors don’t commit to saying this was caused by Covid but do the math.

You have same issues I do!!! 1) POTS I thought was supposed to drop BP. One of its symptoms. That why I didn’t think I had POTS. My blood pressure was always high. Only since Covid. I’ve had every heart test possible except the right or left catheter. (That I actually want done). No heart issues. My father’s ENTIRE side of family died early of heart failure or attacks. We all have a genetic disease called Carney Complex-Trismus Pseudo camptodactyly disease. Heart n Hand disease. Still no. I get the starting to faint, sweats, chest pains and vomiting. I’ve had this easily 30 times since LC started. I’m on 3 different HBP pills. I have two inhalers. My heart rate has been as high as 224. I do have SVT. BUT I can tell an SVT attack compared to my heart rate going up from minimal exercise. Not the same feeling in my chest.

You are the second person I know that had to get a pace maker after having vaccine and Covid. She was 36. Worked in surgery at the hospital. Was one of the first to get vaccinated. She looked up the lot # on the vaccines she received and she saw death, death….many before seeing medical issues these people had afterward. Scary.

1 ReactionKeep an eye on it in case if you still have any symptoms of long Covid. Been reading and just want to suggest that. 😁
