Post Covid, night time, shortness of breath and racing heart.

@frouke So true. My doctor never tested me for covid but I got sick the end of 2024 and it's ongoing. Never been sick before (75 years). First he said whooping cough, then another respiratory virus. I coughed for over a year. The latest issue was heart palpitations. My Dr said its stress and gave me Ativan (so I slept through them). After two months they are almost gone. My cardio said "heart looks good". I have a stabbing feeling in the middle of my back. It radiates up to my left shoulder and then around to my chest feeling like an elephant is sitting there. . I went to the ER where a C Scan said my back is degenerating with stenosis. (No heart attack). This pain is causing nausea and I've lost 12 lbs. For a while I couldn't even eat. I'm all alone now and feel like the doctors are treating me like a hypochondriac old lady. I live 140 miles from Phoenix and would like to go to mayo clinic there.

@dcypherzzz I think it’s a good idea to try and arrange an appointment with Mayo in Phoenix, perhaps you can ask a family member or friend to come along for support, considering all that you have gone through and made to feel uncomfortable. It’s not an uncommon thing for this to happen in today’s world but if you have options to choose from then I think it’s worth the trip.

@dcypherzzz, I’m sorry you’re going through so much pain and health problems, I honestly feel that women our age get treated with disrespect because and they don’t take us seriously, I have often felt this way when I have problems. I have a new doctor now and believe me where I live it’s a blessing to have a doctor but he doesn’t take me seriously and when I try to tell him what I know he takes a tantrum. I recently got a medication from him to help me get more rest I looked it up and learned that you can’t take it if you have asthma and I do?? I simply disposed of them and I don’t plan to say anything about, he just doesn’t have a lot of regard for me but I’m very careful especially with medication and I’m glad that I am, take care of yourself and don’t let them bully you, best wishes.
