Covid and AFib Connection?

We are highly suspicious that young adult son, 5 weeks after the 2nd Moderna: He was previously in absolute perfect health. Was diagnosed with Acute Viral Myocarditis, Extreme Heart Failure that lead to Atrial Fib and Flutter, caused clots- and BOOM while in ICU for all this. The clots moved and he had 2 strokes.
We have never been told how or why they called it Viral Myocarditis- Was it COVID (he was teaching Middle School Math at the time- schools being the petri dish for all things germy. I can say that because I am a School Nurse for many,many years), another strange virus, or Moderna? Who knows? All I know for sure is that we are so grateful that he is still alive, and everyday we have a chance to get up and try again...but, wow...I wish we had some more definitive answers. Stroke recovery is so so hard and long.

Hi @ruby2020, this must be so hard to see as a mom. In case it helps, you might be interested in following these related support groups:
- Intensive Care (ICU) Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/intensive-care-icu/
Intensive care is intense for all family members and often the patient and/or family members can experience post-intensive care syndrome or PICS. You might appreciate the support and experiences shared in the group.

- Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/cerebrovascular-diseases/
You're right that stroke recovery is hard and a long road. It can help to talk with other caregivers supporting someone recovering from stroke.
