Post-COVID palpitations and heart discomfort could have healed much sooner if I hadn't been randomly taking tonics!
This patient reported persistent heart discomfort after recovering from COVID, especially experiencing more pronounced symptoms during nighttime rest when the body is quiet.
After undergoing numerous local examinations and taking various haphazardly prescribed tonics, the condition still showed no improvement.
I looked at his test results, and there's actually nothing too serious. There is an issue with premature beats, but it's not severe. The main problem is this COVID-19 virus. It has caused phlegm-heat damaging yin. Initially, it was cold-dampness damaging yang qi, which later turned into phlegm-heat. This phlegm-heat has damaged your yin, especially now that the weather is getting warmer. With your heart yin deficiency, your heart is bound to beat rapidly, and with the presence of phlegm in the body, some infected areas are prone to pain—aching here and there.
For patients experiencing premature beats after recovering from COVID-19, to be honest, I've seen way too many of them—at least several hundred if not over a thousand. Frankly, his condition isn't complicated at all. The real issue is that he kept taking random tonics, which not only proved ineffective but actually worsened his condition.
I’ve been telling you to stop randomly buying those tonic supplements! If you feel unwell, especially with heart discomfort, you should go to a proper hospital for a checkup. Many patients like you see improvement within just a week of proper treatment and medication—how could yours persist this long? Clearing phlegm-heat and nourishing yin is manageable—no major issue!
