We aren't sure if he started symptoms after 2020 ,2021 He was short of
breath some tight chest at times, but really no major symptoms his
caregiver caught it. She was monitoring his blood pressure & h20. Then his
PCP referring him to a cardiologist. He had a chemical stress test. Wore a
Holter monitor for 48 hours, plus a few others. They didn't connect it to
Covid until 2022. He was offered a heart surgery but he wanted to wait &
try diet. Unfortunately his stroke in 2009 caused some memory problems. His
dementia started out with him seeing things months gaps then progressed
rapidly. I saw in studies professionals are saying Covid actually lowered
some survivors IQ. I'm having memory problems, brain fog. His brain fog was
way less than mine. He also started becoming angry easily. He was always
saying we didn't tell him anything. He forgot he ate, forgot to take his
medicine, when he took a nap he often became confused if it was day or
night. The dementia they didn't connect to Covid but his caregiver believed
it was. She recently read me an article from a medical journal saying Covid
patients seeing things were being misdiagnosed. More research needs done on
Covid LC survivors diagnosed with dementia. I'm scared hearing people say
Covid is over. We won't know the full extent of Covid's damage for decades.
I'm sorry you're having to deal with the aftermath.
