Anyone feel short of breath and have feet?

Posted by jchet @jchet, Oct 3, 2024

I have SFPN. I have shortness of breath due to heavy feeling in legs and feet…..makes it difficult to walk very far. No pain. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Agree. All same symptoms started after Covid shots. And also 2 surgeries for stents. Did not have history of any heart problems before Covid shots

Yep. And we will continue to suffer endlessly and no one will ever be brought to justice and no one will help us because then it would require admitting what has been in the dark. I didn’t have being ruined by a gain of function virus out of a Chinese lab on my bingo card. Never smoked. Never drank. Never did drugs. I guess I should have. Now I’m just going to die suffering immensely; bitter AF and filled with regret and resentment

I am so sorry for how you are feeling. I too have led a very healthy life, but this SFPN has really made me miserable. Thanks for your reply.

I too have had weird things since I had COVID I too have had weird things since I had Covid. ranging from shortness of breath to heart, palpitations, tingling predominantly in my legs, feeling of heaviness and in coordination in my legs at times, intermittent exhaustion, for no reason and wobbliness intermittently. I am not angry at the doctors for not knowing definitively what this is. long Covid is a new phenomenon and most recently I went to a rheumatologist who very compassionately said “COVID does what Covid wants to do” and the best we could do would be to manage symptoms. I have no problem with that. It’s a whole new world post Covid. I can’t get a definitive diagnosis, but after about 10 specialist this behaves something like fiber myalgia, but doesn’t meet this full criteria, small fiber polyneuropathy, but my skin punch biopsy was negative, or Covid. Whatever it is, I’ll make modifications and we’ll do symptom management.

@robindancer5678 Have you ever considered the fact that perhaps the Covid shot itself caused you to have these symptoms you are experiencing. For me, my neuropathy was brought on by GBS, an autoimmune disease as well as chemo treatments for cancer. I do know, however, that others had strange symptoms occur after getting the Covid shot. I’ve only had the one shot and only because our government forced it on us. I have never got it or the flu shot again. I do also know that the flu shot can bring on these symptoms as well if you already have neuropathy. These are just my personal views and not meant to influence others about taking the shots.
