Confused about Covid-19 symptom progression
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jun 6, 2020 | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
Hello all, I had Covid-19 back in the middle of March and was very sick and recovered. All of a sudden 3 weeks ago I started having chest pains that will not go away. It started from the middle of my chest and radiated to the left side of my chest and even down my left arm. I have seen my primary physician and also a Cardiologist and Gastroenterologist and they think it could still be the after effects of the virus. I have done a bunch of tests and blood work and they all say everything is normal. I'm going on Monday to have an echocardiogram and stress test done to make sure it isn't heart related. Has anyone else had similar symptoms or other symptoms post Covid-19 10 or 12 weeks later?

@clark782 Chest pain isn’t fun, is it. Especially when it follows Covid19. Have any of the doctors mentioned stress or panic attacks? I ask because I had the same symptoms after I became ill. It was explained to me that I’d had a traumatic event but that my heart was ok. Several trips to the ER and a stress test, etc showed that it wasn’t my heart. The cardiologist said that the trachea can have spasms that feel like a heart attack, but aren’t. I’ve learned just sit down and do some deep breathing whenever it happens. So far, I’ve been ok for over a year. Why not ask the doctors if the pain could possibly be stress or a panic attack? I hope for the best for you
