I noticed my heart rate had been heightened, but I chalked it up to me focusing on it and being hyper sensitive, and it being a common longhaul symptom.

I'm very active, 5'7" 135lb, well was active before covid resurfaced/I relapsed or whatever that was.

Summary
Trail 21456, 31, caught what was almost certainly COVID-19 in July 2020, with brief fever, cough and headaches. In January 2021 her toes turned red with scaly welts/sores that looked almost like blisters, and she developed stabbing chest pain, tingling and a racing heart; she went to the ER fearing a heart attack. A chest x-ray and blood tests were clear and she was told it was anxiety. By May 2021, after what she called COVID resurfacing or a relapse, her feet were just beginning to look normal again and she was still less active than before.
