I started having this three weeks after I tested positive for COVID this past January. During the first month after it started, I had several nights where I woke up from chest pain. One night started with my left arm being very numb, followed by my chest feeling tight, then my entire chest feeling probably the most adrenaline I've ever felt, and then the worst panic attack of my life.
I've been to the ER several times, had multiple ECGs done, multiple rounds of blood work, a sonogram, and a CT scan. Because no one can find anything wrong, it's just been diagnosed as anxiety. I've basically been unable to work for over two months now while I seek treatment and the right medication combination from a psychiatrist. Calming down and taking medication for anxiety does help, but I still wake up at night sometimes with what feels like rapid/irregular heart beating.
I'm twenty-four years old. I got my third shot of Moderna's vaccine in November, 2021.
