I'm 24, had Covid-19 in November, and since then I've had severe, chronic chest pain every single day for months. Cardiologists report similar effects so, anecdotally, I'm inclined to agree with the information being proposed in the article OP posted. I hope we get more research and medical study on the long term effect of the pandemic over the next year or two.
- mrkramer 5y agoCovid infection probably caused scar tissue which is now constant low grade chronic inflammation. It depends how severe your Covid infection was and how much scarring it left from zero to minimal to a lot. You say you have severe chest pain but if you are able to breathe without artificial oxygen intake then I would say you have minimal scarring. I'm not sure how to treat scarring of lungs tissue since you can't "repair" it with surgery like you can other tissues or you can idk I'm not a doctor but you should seek treatment.

After talking with my doctor and getting chest x-rays (and not seeing anything), he recommended taking a strong dose of Aleve eveyday until it went away. I took generic naproxen sodium, and it took me about two weeks for it to go away. Now after a couple weeks of stopping, it only hurts a litte if I twist my torso a certain way. Your mileage may vary.
