For those who had COVID…

[doc holiday13]

Did any of you experience a high heart rate & BP?

yes

I got back into the gym 2 weeks after was no longer symptomatic and instituted a bi-weekly 48hr fasting

 

[doc holiday13]

I had an elevated HR the whole time I was symptomatic. It still seems to be more elevated during activities now (been negative for 3 days now). My resting HR is typically in the low 40s. After testing positive my resting HR has gradually increased to 50, and is pretty well staying there. I wear a Garmin watch pretty much all the time and track my HR pretty regular.

Edit: I did notice that while symptomatic my blood oxygen would drop pretty rapidly with any activity at all from the high 90s (98-99) to the low 90s,/high 80s.

Thats very much in line with my experience. My Dr. said its because your lungs are not absorbing as much oxygen so your heart is having to pump more to get oxygen to all your extremities. It took about 60 days to get back to mostly normal. right now i'm not sure if I'm back to normal or age has caught up with me and its harder to get back into shape

Why are you guys still talking about covid? Move on with your lives, it's over. I know that's hard for some people, but damn.

Cuz the OP apparently just got it and was asking about symptoms.. I have moved on.. still unvaccinated and still living my life, still very much alive

 

[MuleDeerMike]

I get why the OP is asking his question and that's understandable since he just got it and is probably a little concerned. What's not normal to me is seeing people still argue about every little aspect of it that has been tirelessly argued by the entire world over and over and over and over and over again for the last 2 years. The same arguments keep happening over and over and over again. It's insane to me.

Agreed. I never meant to stir up an argument. I was simply getting feedback on others experience and comparing it to mine. As well as getting some ideas on what worked for them.

After seeing how it turned out on here I shouldn’t have asked.

@robby denning you can delete this thread.

I was aware of this thread shortly after it went up, and I left it because it was a fresh question by somebody who was experiencing Covid. I hope not have to take it down. we don’t need to continue to hash out all the politics. That’s a hornets nest. I would like this to be a place though that a guy can come on and ask questions about something that could potentially be life-threatening, or at least make him really sick.

As an unvaxxed person Covid isn't over until all restrictions against the unvaxxed are removed.

A lot of the controversy stems from a lot of root causes we have for the massive divisions in this country as a whole. Now when you disagree with mainstream talking points, you suddenly become the enemy and must be destroyed. We can no longer respectfully disagree. People now act like 3 year olds that disinvite people to their birthday party if you don't go along with their idea

 

[Crghss]

you still keep "spewing" the ridiculing and shaming narrative.

What is this narrative you keep droning on about. Its a fact that your chance of death from covid are greatly reduced with the vaccine. There is no disputing this.

If a person chooses not to receive the vax, fine. They increase the chance of death if/when they contract Covid. Millions of people in the US took that risk and 1000‘s died because of It. And for those families that where depending on them they will suffer, some more then other.

And to think this admin wanted to make a disinformation board that was going to censor anything that went against their narrative.....

I don't seem to have any long term Covid symptoms. I was vaccinated and boosted and took the Paxlovid, which helped a lot with a few minor side effects. My wife and 18 daughter took the paxlovid and it got rid of many of the symptoms and lessened the duration. My young son did not take paxlovid, because he didn't very sick. My daughter was the sickest for the first day, then tremendously better with paxlovid.

Good luck with the Paxlovid, but it's strong medicine.

Good for you, glad you did Wags. Everyone here that's experienced this has had their own symptoms and challenges, unless they were asymptomatic.
Respect to those that reach out to others here to get some clarity or understanding. This thing has killed a helluva lot of people, most with comorbidities but not all. Many of us lost friends and family.

When someone shares that they lost a family member and another person immediately ridicules or argues with them about covid, it says it all. The 24hrcampfire is full of those anuses.
Ignore those who lack humanity, they wouldn't care about anything but themselves anyway.

Good . Covid is never going away. There will continue to be mutations. Its good to see possible how people deal with it and suggestions.

The vax efficacy is about six months. I was just at doctor for physical. She has treated 100's of Covid patients. She stated that she is seeing very low levels of anti bodies in post vaxxed after 6 to 7 months versus non vaxxed with high consistent natural anti bodies. Follow the science

 

[sterlryu]

Buddy of mine got it twice, first time he lost taste for a few weeks in addition to feeling weak and respiratory symptoms, no heart issues, the second time now he's short of breath more easily and higher heart rate (3 or 4 months post). Middle aged (50+) dude who likes eating so higher risk.

 

[204guy]

I am not blaming anyone for anything. Its simple mathematics. People make decisions everyday, and live with the consequence’s. Some people smoke. They live with the chance they may or may not get lung cancer. Some do some don’t. But an extremely high percentage of smokers get lung cancer versus non-smokers. People decide to be obese and not live healthy lifestyles. Some get diabetes, Cardiovascular disease or cancer, some don’t. But an extremely high percentage of obese people have diabetes, Cardiovascular disease or cancer compared to non-obese people.

An extremely high number of unvaccinated people died from Covid compared to vaccinated people. They made their choice. For some it was deadly for most it wasn’t. For those that died their family has to pay the price for their ignorance.

What exactly is “narrative gospel”?

Holy hell. We're still doing this.
People are adults and should have the right to make their own medical decisions either way.

An extremely higher number of vaccinated people died from the vaccine than the unvaxxed.
An extremely absurdly higher number of vaccinated had vaccine complications than unvaccinated.
Prove me wrong.

I'd think even the color blind could see it's not black and white.

Did she have info on those were had been vaxxed and then had Covid? Or was that wrapped into the second group?

 

[PVHunter]

I've had covid three times.
I took the J&J shot between my first and second go arounds with covid (in fact, my last two were less than six months part from - Christmas to New Years and again this past May).

I did not observe an elevated heart rate (I do take my HR & BP regularly throughout the week with a reasonably accurate home device).

I worked out throughout the rona and afterward. I will say that I observed a 10 - 20% erosion in my performance on core compound lifts and in power output on my Concept2 rower that I otherwise couldn't explain away (sleep, nutrition, etc.). I found that it took a solid 3 - 4 weeks to shake off and bounce back to my pre-covid trajectory.
