Have you gotten tested for any possible heart damage? There are some reports of athletes being benched because of a heart condition caused by COVID that can cause sudden death during exercise.

I haven’t. I skipped my yearly physical in April. Not sure when I’ll get it rescheduled, but I’ll make a note to ask about this.

That's a pretty big claim, do you have anything to back it up? How many athletes have caught Covid19 and then dropped dead afterwards when exercising?

      Myocarditis can absolutely cause death during exercise, as the poster said. They didn't say any athletes actually died due to this. https://www.myocarditisfoundation.org/exercise-during-myocarditis-recovery/ https://www.myocarditisfoundation.org/exercise-during-myocar...

        Of course it can; however, it's not solely caused by corona virus. Is it verified, conclusively, that those people didn't already have a form of Myocarditis?

        This isn't something that's likely to ever be verified conclusively, but we do have evidence that COVID-19 is associated with myocardial injury and myocarditis. Sure, it's not impossible a young, fit and healthy professional athlete was suffering from undiagnosed heart inflammation prior to contracting a novel virus. It's very unlikely to be the case when a bunch of healthy young people are suddenly diagnosed with the condition concurrent to testing positive for COVID-19, though. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/what-e2-80-99s-the-link-between-myocarditis-and-covid-19-a-closer-look-at-the-rare-heart-condition-that-has-put-the-college-football-season-in-jeopardy/ar-BB17ZUmW https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/what-e2-80-99s-... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589790X20300640 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589790X2...
