@roxannelee . My last Bout of COVID (had it 3 X) in March 2025 yielded Long COVID issues. I visited my cardiologist that February who did a EKG as a annual thing. All was Good. Scheduled a Nuclear Stress test since the last one was 5 years earlier. I do have Atherosclerosis - one artery shows about 50% calcification blockage (CT SCAN 8 years earlier revealed that). But The bout of COVID gave me Long COVID - the stress test was cancelled. In September 2025, I called the Cardiologist to re-schedule the Nuc Stress test. He said to come in and let's take another EKG. So, I did. The new EKG (all of the previous EKGs for years were all the same in good standing- no issues) revealed something NEW - a Right Bundle Branch Blockage ! No significant symptoms other than some angina, & some fatigue under exertion. He would not say or opine whether it was from COVID, But I do !! BTW, I have some pulmonary issues with Granulomas in my left lung. They have been stable for years - monitored by annual CTSCANS (former smoker Protocol). The Pulmonologist helped me more than 2 or 3 ENTs, recommending an inhaler which did alleviate lingering Long COVID coughing.
