I and my husband got COVID on a 25 night Back to Back Cruise in Rome in October 2022. We both had mild cases. After getting home in December I started getting short of breath then dizziness
Brain fog, blurry eyes. Eventually my dizziness came with sitting up also. Jan 03 2023 ended up being taken into hospital by ambulance as I couldn’t even stand my blood pressure was so high. After 5 days in hospital and every possible heart test they couldn’t find anything wrong with my heart. Then on February 3rd I passed out twice completely injuring face ribs and multiple cuts and tears.
When I pass out it’s from my Blood Pressure rising fast upon standing. After many Doctor visits I saw a Cardiologist, Neurologist, Endocrinology, ENT, Halter monitor which showed some Heart Rhythm problems and so then I saw an Electrophysiologist Cardiologist who only repairs
Rhythms of the heart and can
Use a catheter to ablate them.
He is going to implant a Loop on September 26th under my skin in the right chest. It will continuously run EKGs and they will be monitored for three months.
If anything is prominent that looks like it’s a problem then they will call and set me up for an ablation. This has been a long haul. I am 72 married for 54 years and we are a very busy couple. I haven’t driven since January and not able to do much of anything. I do not lay down or sleep during the day. I never have. I am dealing now with a rib fracture in right back ribs since August 4th. It never ends. Praying that the Electrophysiologist
will be able to fix the problem because I Completely puzzled and perplexed, not knowing what to do. Praying for everyone.
