I might be experiencing Long Covid symptoms, i.e., pain or tightness, heart palpitations. Paradoxically, the very disease which makes it difficult to get an appointment nowadays might still kill me in the end if it has damaged my heart. The heart can’t repair itself after a Covid attack like the lungs. All this would be hypochondria if it wasn’t for the pulse oximeter signalling something is seriously wrong with my heart. There’s a more professional device, a KardiaMobile, available for a hundred quid and used in conjunction with a smartphone which gives medical-grade single-lead ECG in just 30 seconds. The KardiaMobile can detect 6 of the most common arrhythmias, including AFib, Bradycardia, Tachycardia, PVCs, Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS, and Sinus Rhythm with SVE.
Suggested improvements
I don’t think there is anything that could have been done better under the circumstances for a disease which we are still researching and vaccinating against. Medical personnel have also died from Covid. They are not like those horses in old Western movies which are magically left standing after the cowboys get shot. Horses die too. The appointment system is frustrating and convoluted but understandable because of the pandemic, albeit not helpful to me if it turns out I have a fatal heart condition paradoxically caused by Covid.
