So, it's been almost 2 months now since I had COVID, and I've been dealing with some chest pain and this weird pulling sensation in my left hand and neck for the past month. I'm struggling with sleep too. I saw a doctor and had like 5 ECGs, all normal, but the pain's not really going away. It's scaring me a lot. The chest pain has reduced a bit, but now there's this pulling at my elbow and pain in my left shoulder. I had a troponin test which was at 0.04 and my blood sugar's normal too. What could this be? Is it still related to COVID?
It sounds like you are experiencing persistent chest pain, left hand pulling, and neck pain following a COVID infection. Since your ECG results have been normal and your blood tests are also normal, it is important to address your symptoms. The symptoms you are describing could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve irritation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a muscle relaxant such as **Tizanidine** 2mg twice daily to help with the pulling sensation in your left hand and shoulder pain. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as **Ibuprofen** 400mg three times a day after meals to help with the chest pain and neck pain. It is also important to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help reduce your fear and anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your MD medicine doctor for further evaluation and management.

I recently had a fever and decided to get an ECG done. The results showed sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia. I went back for another ECG the next day, and it came out normal. Should I be concerned about this fluctuation?
