Yesterday a new symptom/event happened. A few minutes into my treadmill run a chest sensation happened. Not the typical heart flutters but like my heart punched my chest or a fist punched my heart or a release like letting go of a water balloon before tying it off. I don’t really even know how to describe it. I expected more flutters to follow but nothing. No pain or rush of adrenaline. I kept going, a few moments later it happened again but milder. I finished my slow attempt at a treadmill run then went about my day debating if it’s worth mentioning to my LC (long COVID) cardiologist. Barnes-Jewish Hospital gave me my LC diagnosis in February but it might be time to move on. I feel like I’m backsliding. NOT the direction I need to be going. I’ve reached out to NYU Langone for a LC consultation. Their recording promises a call back by the next day. I’m still waiting. I’m still mad as hell that I’m missing out on running/racing and reaching the fitness goals I had…have. Trying to have hope is torture.
