Has anyone had Heart Issues with LC?

I caught COVID very early during the 2020 pandemic, and I experienced severe chest pain and tightness, which led me to visit the ER 3-4 times. However, all the tests came back normal, and I was diagnosed with anxiety. In any case, after enduring extreme pain, I took various medications and underwent ozone therapy, which helped improve the symptoms somewhat. But after getting reinfected this May, the symptoms of my chest muscles hardening have become much worse. I don’t know what to do. It feels like the coronavirus is affecting my nervous system and muscles. Just knowing that there are others who have had similar experiences brings me some comfort, but if anyone has insights on what I can do about these symptoms, I would really appreciate it if you could share them with me.

I’m sorry that you’re having such a rough time with the symptoms covid has caused you, it doesn’t make anything easier when the people you turn to for help are so very limited with helping you. I agree with you that we gain comfort from taking to others who have similar experiences so I’m grateful for that. I don’t really know how to advise you but what I can say is if you’re anxious and you have reason to be, perhaps your doctor can give you a medication to relieve your stress and ultimately the tightness and pain in your chest, thankfully it’s something that was checked out and your heart is functioning properly but it doesn’t mean that you can’t have pain. I mentioned having rapid heart beats and a beta blocker would be very helpful but having asthma I’m not allowed to take this medication. I take Ativan which is a benzodiazepine and it helps with a lot by easing the tension in my chest and slowing the heart rate down a little, it’s not a perfect solution but it helps and that’s what matters.
