Post covid
Hi
On 24th April I was tested covid positive. After 18 days of covid, I got chest and back pain. Back pain persisted few days but chest pain continued for 2 weeks and it was like burning sensation . There was pain in the middle of my chest for which doctor prescribed me pantop dsr & hifenac p. After taking medicine little bit pain still persisted but that pain was bearable. I did crp & cbc test on 25th May and report was normal. Crp - 0.03 mg/L. In the end of month May I got fully recovered from chest pain. But now from 2-3 days chest pain came back and pain is in the middle of my chest. Should I go for chest x-ray or any test. From more than a week I'm suffering from parosmia too. Food that I eat tastes smoky. What should I do? Kindly reply.

Yes , your chest pain will require investigation, you can get a chest ct scan done, also check your triglycerides levels , as it’s generally high in post covid , and , also get your ecg done, as chest pain could be due to cardiac arrhythmia

Post COVID definately has different set of symptoms. Most of them are mild and self limiting. But few are really hard to accept. So do a cardiac evaluation immediately apart from taking medicine for Gastritis.
