I tested positive for covid 7/26/22 and although it lingered for 12-14 days before a negative test result it was relatively mild. I had overall weakness, headache, dry hacking cough and fatigue, plenty of fatigue. Two weeks after first symptoms I felt like I was coming out of it but right at one month I started wheezing and have this feeling of mucous in my throat that I can’t cough out. I thought maybe a sinus infection. Went to a walk-in-in primary care facility and although not convinced of an infection I was given a script for a z-pack which didn’t help. Saw a cardiologist and he said I was in heart failure. I’m just lost right now because covid followed a stroke in January this year that resulted in medications and reactions to them and dosage increases in the same time frame of covid. My PCP feels that the wheezing etc results from covid and possibly the heart failure too. I have a feeling the wheezing (add feet tingling, sometimes burning) is from a medication that was adjusted tight in between covid and the onset of wheezing. My cardiologist disagrees. He thought it could be a respiratory condition but chest x-Ray and spirometry have cleared that. I am so lost. I’m looking for help!

I did this so you can read through the previous posts and connect easily with other members.

I’m so sorry to hear this but thank you for sharing
Do you mind sharing your age
And when the say heart failure?, what do they offer to help
Did you ever have issues prior to Covid
I did not but then after my second infection 6/22 right now I am going between 57-203bpm all day
Sometimes I feel the paplulations other times I just looks down at my I watch and notice it’s elevated
I wore a zio for 2 weeks and I go back Tuesday to the cardiologist who also said I had an abnormal ekg
Sending positive vibes your way
