Atrial Fibrillation and Covid

[KeepingHealthy]

I had been in normal sinus rhythm for 2 months until just over a week ago when I went into constant AF for 5 days, then it just corrected itself. I didn't do a Covid Test and am sure that I would have tested positive if I had, because a few days before this happened I'd had headaches, feeling tired and a sore throat. My husband tested positive yesterday and now I feel sure that he's caught it off me. I do like to share whenever I can 🤧. The pharmacist told me when I bought the kit that they've been selling loads just lately. Beware!

My sister in law has tested positive for Covid this morning and we were with her last night at her 70th birthday party.Now I’m very scared I will have caught it off her and it will bring on my AFib again. This happened when I caught Covid in February last year. The Drs said it was more than likely the Covid had brought on my AFib.

I’ve been told, by Drs, to go to A&E when I get AFib, as I my blood pressure and heart rate soar and they like to keep an eye on me and try and stop it.

I had what the Doctor said was a successful Ablation last September and I am now so worried that I’ll have caught Covid at the party and it will start off my Afib again and undo all the good work they did on me.

I can imagine how scared you are feeling, especially when it affects your blood pressure and heart rate. I hope you stay Covid free and I'm pleased that an Ablation worked for you. Keep well.
