The pains aren't anywhere near what they were but they still happen ... it's in my heart that it still hurts and that is still awful

Summary
A Reddit user in a long-COVID community reported chest pain centred on the heart. After about a month on a calcium channel blocker the pain seemed worse, and their cardiologist told them to stop it abruptly. After almost two months on a calcium channel blocker plus NAC, the pains were far less severe and less frequent, though the heart still hurt.
