Long-Covid Statistics and Check-In
  • August 10, 2023

LONG-COVID Gripping Heart-Health continued years after COVID-19’s first attack in early 2020, and second attack in 2021. Today’s MSN News Headline, “COVID-19 took a toll on heart health and doctors are still grappling with how to help” resonates strongly.

COVID patients were about twice as likely to seek care for cardiovascular problems including blood clots, abnormal heartbeats or stroke in the year after infection, compared to similar patients who’d avoided COVID-19.

Individuals affected by COVID-19 displayed a nearly twofold increase in seeking medical attention for cardiovascular issues, encompassing blood clots, irregular heart rhythms, and strokes during the year following their infection. This trend was observed in comparison to similar patients who had managed to evade the grasp of the virus, according to a report from the Associated Press via MSN Health.

Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive Covid Care Center

At the Northwestern Medicine Comprehensive COVID-19 Center assistance is extended through multiple clinics across the Northwestern Medicine network, catering to patients experiencing COVID-19 symptoms more than 30 days after the onset of their illness or their last positive test. Operating across various locations, the center’s strength lies in its ability to link individuals with specialized care providers in proximity to their residence and workplace. Coordinators prioritize aligning patients with suitable physicians for their most severe symptoms, orchestrating successive appointments with other required specialists. The spectrum of medical experts available includes:

  • Cardiologists
  • Pulmonologists
  • Neurologists
  • Endocrinologists
  • And more

Furthermore, these healthcare professionals collaborate to ensure streamlined and coordinated care for patients.

My Story: LONG-COVID Gripping Heart-Health

My Personal Encounter: Battling LONG-COVID Gripping Heart-Health

Finally, I reached my cardiologist’s appointment after a challenging journey. Having endured symptoms all week, I hesitated to revisit the hospital after my recent emergency room visit. Despite the discomfort, I pressed on, adapting my life and work around the ongoing issues. Upon reaching the cardiologist’s office, I was breathless and tardy, my face flushed.

Subsequently, transport was dispatched to transport me to the ER for observation, as Hospitalization Event number 175 loomed. The reasons spanned from chest pain and heart discomfort to respiratory struggles and neuropathic spasms affecting my left foot, lower back, and neck. Migraines further compounded the situation, and my pulse oximeter reading dipped from 95% to 90%. Somehow, I managed to make it to the appointment despite the ordeal.

The pain endured even after my discharge, as was evident a few Sundays ago when my blood glucose levels surged, accompanied by pain. Dealing with a blood glucose spike to 355 without any sustenance, I resorted to lemon ice water to temper the situation, striving to avoid excessive use of Nitroglycerine for chest pain. With my next cardiologist appointment scheduled in 12 days, I remain in anticipation.

I now find myself among the fortunate ones, with a team of Northwestern Hospital Long Covid Clinic Specialists diligently addressing my case. The battle against a myriad of persisting symptoms, years after becoming an early patient of COVID-19, necessitates the concerted efforts of an entire array of specialists.

Grateful and hopeful, I appreciate being alive and productive. Overcoming Post Covid challenges brings hope and wellness. Yet, it saddens me that I’m the sole survivor among similar individuals. My earnest hope is for fewer to succumb. Let us recover, support, and inspire those who follow.
