[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you explain my cardiac issues that are very clearly seen via MRI and echocardiogram? And no, they weren’t there previously. I am in my 30s, incredibly fit, was running 35-40 miles per week before I got sick (this was pre-vaccine; first wave). Literally couldn’t breathe even though my lung capacity is usually off the charts. I needed inhalers for the first time in my life and even those didn’t work super well. Ekg and blood work showed many abnormalities. I was declared disabled for 1.5 years because I had medical evidence of my persistent illness. These are all very objective measures. Nothing psychosomatic about it. [/quote]

I think what you are describing is quite different from “brain fog”, “fatigue”, “lingering cough” and supposed “shortness of breath”. [/quote]

I think it is important to sort out the above symptoms from physical conditions that occur as sequelae to Covid.  These can include heart, lung or kidney impairments that are measurable through standard tests. I believe the latter do not belong in the category of long covid.[/quote]
