Heart Problems After COVID
A Vanderbilt basketball player has reported heart problems after contracting covid. He had a shared meal with an infected teammate and was quarantined for two weeks off campus. Washington had a stuffy nose for 10 days and waited for the infection to become more severe. But his symptoms never got worse, so he returned to practice after covid tests. He was subsequently diagnosed with acute myocarditis, a complication of covid.
Increased oxygen demand
As COVID cases surge in India, government is scrambling to meet the rising demand for medical-grade oxygen. The Supreme Court of India has asked the central government to develop a national plan that will address the issue. In a release, the health ministry said doctors had discussed the “unnecessary demand for oxygen” and “rational use” of oxygen. The government is also increasing the number of beds and ventilators in hospitals and notified hospitals to increase production.
Myocarditis
A myocarditis case may be a result of a variety of factors, including a history of previous covid injection, new or unusual symptoms, or abnormal cardiac testing. Confirmation of the diagnosis is generally achieved by histopathological evaluation of the affected heart or new findings on cardiac MRI or echocardiography. If no other cause can be identified, the diagnosis may be based on nonhistological criteria.
Stroke
Although the risk of stroke after COVID-19 treatment is very low, patients should seek emergency care as soon as possible. Early case series suggest that patients with mild illness have a 1-percent risk of a stroke, while patients in intensive care may have a six-percent risk. Nevertheless, the exact cause of COVID-19-associated stroke is not known.
Coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease can cause heart problems for a variety of reasons. Symptoms of the disease include an irregular heartbeat, arrhythmia, and heart failure. If you have any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you visit a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. A doctor can also offer you a treatment plan that will reduce the symptoms of the disease and reduce your risk of heart attack.
Chest pain
Chest pain is one of the most common side effects after COVID. While it can be worrying, it is usually not life threatening. There are a number of potential causes of chest pain after COVID, including a heart problem or a lung problem. In these cases, it is imperative to see a medical professional as soon as possible.
Fluid in the lungs
If fluid in the lungs is a sign of COVID infection, then you should seek medical attention immediately. This disease can cause serious and life-threatening conditions, including pulmonary fibrosis, permanent lung damage, and sepsis. Although most COVID patients recover fully, a few will remain severely ill for weeks or months. In these cases, they may need home oxygen or other medical care.
Low blood pressure
After a COVID for heart problems, you may experience low blood pressure. This is a common side effect. Because your body does not have the normal controls to regulate your pressure, your blood pressure can fluctuate dramatically. The symptoms can be quite uncomfortable and you may even lose your sense of taste and smell. High fevers and chills are also possible side effects. It is recommended that you visit a doctor as soon as possible to monitor your blood pressure and to determine if it’s normal.
