Has anyone had Heart Issues with LC?

It’s just pure frustration that the medical community hasn’t come to terms with the reality that covid causes heart problems, there’s so much evidence that indicates it does. Some people are very fortunate to have found help from doctors who are open to help them with their problems but there’s still too many of us that are being ignored and neglected. It just doesn’t make sense to treat people like they have mental problems because they can’t seem to come to terms with the reality that covid is a really serious disease. I have personally suffered from rapid heart beats since 2022 after a covid infection, it took a while to see a cardiologist and after all the tests were done he concluded that my heart was fine except it beats too fast. The best part of my appointment was that when I told him it started after having covid, he suggested that I see a psychiatrist, what an insult, some things never change, if they can’t find anything physically then it must be a mental disorder. I truly believe that they will get it right one day perhaps when more people are coming forward with the same symptoms. I did read an article on the People’s Pharmacy that evidence is showing covid causes more heart problems than heart disease, it’s a start but still has a long way to go.

Frouke,
I got covid last January 15 if you don't count the 10 day incubation period. thought I recovered well from covid as of early February. I had a great deal of energy and could return to the gym. On Feb 17 my heart rate soared to 148 per a doctor present who happened to have his bag when I collapsed at church. He immediately called an ambulance and I was in the hospital for 3 days, I've been tired ever since. I struggle to keep my house clean, meals cooked and lift a few weights at home. I had been used to walking with vigor 45 minutes per day as well. Now all is a struggle. I walk slowly and lift far less weight at home.
Every day is a challenge. I fight my way through them.
I’m sorry for your pain and loss of being able to live your life to the fullest, it’s just so sad that you’re part of so many people, myself included, who are still struggling well after the virus. I’ve heard of some people who can’t go home due to serious complications after covid, it’s not just another virus but much more than that and it’s hard to say when they will actually be able to provide the help so desperately needed. I’m trying my hardest to stay positive mentally and not give up on hope that they will be able to cure us completely so we can get back to living our lives like we did before covid, I wish you strength and healing completely, take care, Frouke.
