Thank you for your response. I appreciate all the information. I am seeing a cardiologist. I first saw him last year. They did a holster monitor and echocardiogram. I have a low resting heart rate with a few PVCs, also said I have some leaky valves. It was not severe enough that he thought I needed medication. Also because my resting heart rate is low (50s) he didn’t want to prescribe anything. He did tell me to avoid caffeine.I have had psoriasis off and on for 20plus years. I am taking Vit.D 3 . I had a doctor many years ago who tested my levels and they were low. I saw my ophthalmologist about 10 days ago for my eye. She said if I developed it in both eyes she would probably order blood work to check inflammation levels. Today i saw the retina specialist (i routinely see him once a year). He told me the inflammation in my eye had caused swelling. So I am to continue the steroid drops and he is prescribing an anti-inflammatory eye drop. I go back to him in one month. I also go back to my regular eye doctor his week. I saw the cardiologist again about 6 weeks ago. They only did an EKG which was normal. I have a pulse oximeter and am recording when my pulse elevates. Thankfully my oxygen levels have stayed in the normal range. I was a very healthy person prior to having Covid. In fact when I was first diagnosed with Covid in January 2022, i was out of town. I went to an urgent care center and the physician assistant said even though i met the age requirement to get an antiviral “ she liked to save those for unvaccinated and people with more comorbidities!🤬” Thankfully when I got Covid on Christmas Eve 2022, my ENT called in a Paxlovid Rx. I am so grateful to have found this forum.
You are spot on with everything that you wrote. God Bless You!
