My wife has chest and body pain post-COVID-19. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query about chest and body pain after COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). After recovering from COVID-19 illness, body pain could be due to various reasons like general weakness or myalgia due to inflammatory markers during viral infection. And it is not a significant problem to worry. But chest pain post-COVID-19 should not be ignored unless evaluated. During or after recovering from COVID-19 disease, the blood will be in a hypercoagulable state that leads to clot formation. Hence the person is prone to a heart attack or blood clot in any other body's vessels. Therefore we should consider her symptoms of chest pain and rule out any significant issues. I would like to know some more details about her chest pain. What is the exact location of her chest pain? Is it continuous or intermittent? Does it occur at rest or during exertion and walking? What is the nature of her chest pain - is it squeezing, heaviness, pressure, pin-prick type, burning, or dull aching type? Does the pain increase while pressing over it with the hand? Do you have any recent cardiac investigations done? If yes, please share reports. How severe was her COVID-19 disease, and what was her D-dimer and other levels? Kindly get back with the above details and available laboratory reports for further discussion and management. Take care.
