PVCs after covid infection- Do they go away?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jan 11 12:20pm | Replies (47)Comment receiving replies
Had Covid in the June 2024 timeframe and in August, I developed PVCs. Saw a cardiologist and was told it's very common and not to worry especially when there's no chest pain. Then a few days ago, I was prescribed antibiotics Cephalexin to prevent possible infections after a skin procedure. Did not know I was allergic to this antibiotics and suffered severe lower abdominal pain, hives all over my body and legs, along with mild chest pain with stronger PVCs. Not sure what to do about it.

Make sure you have your medical records reflect that you have an allergy to the antibiotic. You might want to ask about wearing a zio patch, a two week heart monitor. I’ve had pvcs and pacs for decades that became symptomatic after my June 2024 covid infection. I now have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. I’m pretty sure my pvcs are really PACS that are aberrantly conducted and act and look like PVCs. Covid caused my left atrium to get huge and gave me moderate mitral regurgitation, which started to improve in September. My regurgitation is gone now. My Novavax shot helped me a lot, my shingles shot set me back 2 weeks. Chest pain can be a big deal.
