Summary
A 25-year-old man caught COVID-19 at the end of July 2020, with cough, fever, fatigue and body aches, and was in bed for about 10 days. Within about 10 days he felt mostly recovered, though fatigue and brain fog lingered for a while. Since then he has had a chronic sharp pain over his heart that comes on randomly and lasts minutes to hours, and he is anxious about it given a family history of heart disease.
