Post covid cardio phobia
I think I am having post covid cardio phobia. After covid I read a lot that covid can cause heart damage and heart attack. Initially after recovery my heart rate used to increase (RHR 100-110) so I did ecg and echo and it was fine.
From last 6,7 days (2 months after recovery ) my RHR is around 60-65 in morning and night and now I am again fearing if some heart damage is done and thinking to do echo again.
Do I need to repeat such test. How to come over this fear

Just you need to relax and be cautious about your life style management . Heart damage in covid is very rare . The stress and anxiety is more riskier than covid which damages heart. Hence relax and stop coming to your own conclusion. In case you develop any symptoms contact cardiologist.
