Question 1

I've been wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on because I've been feeling strange lately. Around 12 April, I tested positive for COVID, but luckily, it was mild, and the only real issue was losing my sense of smell, which came back after about 10 days. But for the past 8-10 days, I've been experiencing this weird sensation all over my bodyalmost like heart palpitations, though I'm not entirely sure if that's what it is. It's like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach, neck, and just about everywhere in my body, like my whole body is pumping. It tends to disappear when I'm doing something else, but comes roaring back when I'm trying to relax. If I focus on it too much, my heart really starts pounding before eventually calming down. It's really unsettling and sometimes makes me feel anxious and on edge. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or what I should do about it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and anxiety following your COVID-19 infection. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol 20mg twice a day. This medication can help reduce palpitations and anxiety by slowing down your heart rate. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with chest pain for the last 2 years. I've had all kinds of tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and even a CT Coronary Angiography, and they all came back normal. But my blood test results are a bit concerning. My high sensitivity C Reactive protein is at 9.7 mgL, lipoprotein A is 35.09 mgdL, Lipase is 63.6 UL, SGOT is 70.9 UI, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. These numbers have gone up compared to my earlier tests. The chest pain is really troubling me the most. Could you advise me on what steps I should take next?

Accepted Answer

Given your elevated blood test values, it is important to further investigate the cause of your chest pain. The increased sensitivity C Reactive Protein (CRP) level indicates inflammation in the body, which may be related to your symptoms. Considering your symptoms and blood test results, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of underlying inflammatory conditions such as costochondritis or musculoskeletal issues. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for chest pain relief. However, it is crucial to address the root cause of your symptoms through further evaluation and management. I hope this information helps.

Question 3

I'm 39 years old and my ECG report says I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Recently, I've been dealing with chest pain and a burning sensation in my heart. Is this something to worry about and is there any treatment available? Ive noticed these symptoms especially after having COVID, and I've also gained some weight since then. Any advice would be really appreciated.
