Hi everyone.

Thought it might be worth posting on here as someone might have some experience of this and give advice?

Just lately I’ve been getting ‘discomfort’ round my left chest area. Bit of aching etc. This seams to happen after cycling, I’m a pretty keen cyclist, so rides are usually a reasonable pace. No pains during rides, no shortness of breath etc. I’m mid 40’s for background.

Also have a few twinges, but no real pain.

At the start of March sort of time I did do some digging which jerked my left arm a bit, but now my mind has gone into overdrive a bit after googling chest pains and Myocarditis came up. I also believe I possibly had Covid in Feb and that there is the possible side effects of Myocarditis. But again, all possibly in my mind and getting worked up and paranoid!

Anyone actually real experience of this any advice at all As I don’t want to waste time calling doctors etc if it’s just a muscle sprain or something!

Thanks!

Go and see a doctor pronto.

The NHS is open, and cardiac problems, which you may or may not have, are not to be put off because of the virus.
