Nagpur: almost two months after the peak of the second wave in Vidarbha, patients with old Covid-19 implications are presented with different diseases.
Cardiologists see increasing number of patients recovering covid with symptoms of heart failure.
Patients a week in the mid-thirties will come up with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, etc.
The cardiologist Dr.
Pankaj Harkut explained that “heart failure” sounds like the heart no longer works and nothing can be done.
“But heart failure means that the heart does not pump as well as possible,” he said and added that 80% of post-covid heart failure patients recovered spontaneously if given medical attention on time.
According to him, almost one fifth of heart failure patients requires prolonged care when the rest recovers with simple follow-up.
Often patients consider chest pain or anxiety as cardiovascular disease that is revived or heart problems.
“Even after a month of recovery from Covid-19, I still suffered shortness of breath.
My cardiology suggested me angiography.
Finally, there was no blockage found.
But now I am sure that whatever surprises that I experienced is due to long-term effects covid- 19 And not because of a heart blockage, “said Kishor Udar, a retired banker.
Another cardiologist Dr.
Amar Amale said that such patients would recover after a careful follow-up in almost three months.
“I have seen some or other diseases worsen post-covid.
Many have cancer manifestings and many have chronic fatigue.
Heart patients come with heart failure and other manifestations both because of Covid or a bad follow-up,” he said.
According to the doctor, several months of post-covid recovery phase increased the risk of lumps and, therefore, even young patients need to be treated during this phase.
“Covid-19 is a new disease and we are still learning about it.
So, it is not wise to take it relaxed.
Weight fatigue is common after Covid is the same as after a serious illness.
People experience shortness of breath, chest pain or palpitations.
All these symptoms Related to the heart.
So, it is better to consult with your family doctor, “said General Physician Dr.
Prakash Gulhane.
