Is there any chance you were exposed to COVID at any point? I know there’s an association between COVID-19 and clotting events (even for otherwise asymptomatic individuals)!

It’s possible although my wife has been tested weekly for her job so maybe unlikely.

Alternatively exposure to some COVID vaccines seems to also increase risk of clotting

  Yeah my doctor says I’m only to have the Pfizer vaccine now.

The heart damage stories have been debunked* (but don’t expect the media to cover that) * https://www.statnews.com/2021/05/14/setting-the-record-straight-there-is-no-covid-heart/ https://www.statnews.com/2021/05/14/setting-the-record-strai...

  It seem so, lets see if that study is confirmed. We can't believe anything COVID related that has not been reproduced independently many times by independent groups, there is too much fear and convictions.

    Read the link. There have been numerous studies. > Over the ensuing months, numerous research groups published studies that refuted the early concerns and provided reassuring evidence that SARS-CoV-2 had no extra toxicity to the heart

      I did read it. We need to wait and see if their meta-study approach is sound and didnt introduce bias. And from what I understand they didnt study a lot of the people that got really bad covid.

{Anecdote warning} I have clotting issues. Genetic problem. Factor 5 + autoimmune. I get a lot of symptoms if I lapse on blood thinners, so can easily tell when I’m having a mini stroke. Covid dramatically worsened the situation. That was six months ago. Before I could go off blood thinners for 3 days before symptoms started. Now if I’m late by six hours problems start.
