I wanted to post this so others can be warned. I have
developed a heart murmur.
I don’t know how serious it is and won’t know until an
echocardiogram is performed. I have no risk factors like high
blood pressure or high cholesterol…take no daily medication
of any kind. My doctor feels it is the result of my having
COVID last year. She said she has seen heart anomalies in
those who recovered from COVID. I advise anyone reading this
who had COVID to have a checkup. My doctor was able to hear
the murmur with a stethoscope. There are no symptoms except
maybe a bit of fatigue which many of us would ignore. If
there was severe damage this could lead to a heart attack.

44. The doctor said she has seen quite a bit of heart issues
in those who had Covid…
Of course, the anti-vaxers will say it is the vaccine. But
Covid has lead to heart issues while folks had it. My brother
had clots in his lungs and his heart was affected.

62. My doctor said she had not seen much of that. I did take
the booster recently. It is certainly
possible. But I missed my appointment for a physical last
year after having Covid because of the pandemic…so I could
have had it all along. I don’t think we will ever know for
sure.
