WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE HEART ISSUES AFTER COVID- 19
Covid-19 it's basically a viral infection caused
by SARS COV-2 coronavirus, it's basically a
respiratory disease that affects the lungs and
the respiratory tract, some of the symptoms that
are common in coronavirus are dizziness, chest
pain, shortness of breath, loss of taste, and
smell. Having this symptom is not at all
connected to the heart but, what if I tell you
covid-19 can also lead to heart-related problems.
The covid-19 coronavirus can damage the heart
muscles and affects heart function.  This may be
due to several reasons, basically, the heart
cells contain angiotensin-converting enzyme 2
receptors where the coronavirus attaches before
entering the cells. Because of this there can be
hard damage due to a high level of inflammation
in the body, during this the immune system fights
the virus but the informative process can damage
some healthy tissues including the heart. 
As observed in 60 of patients diagnosed with
covid-19 have a high pulse rate this is because,
the coronavirus also affects the inner surface of
veins and arteries, which lead to blood vessel
inflammation, blood clots. Even the severe COVID
19 patience is diagnosed with an affected
endothelial cell which forms the lining of the
blood vessel.

Heart rate and COVID-19-
It is often observed that people having covid-19
experience rapid heartbeats and palpitations.
Common symptoms of irregular heart rhythm are 

• Rapid heartbeat or irregularity in the chest
• Feeling lethargic or dizzy while standing
• Chest discomfort

Possible heart issue after covid 19-

• Severe fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath,
  chest pain are the common problems that people
  experience after covid-19.
• 2) Type 2 heart attack this heart attack can be
  caused due to increased stress on the heart such
  as fast heartbeat, low blood oxygen level,
  interrupted oxygen, and blood supply.
• 3) Heart failure some of the common symptoms of
  heart failure after covid-19 are breath
  shortness, swelling in the legs, extreme pain in
  the chest region, decreased potential while doing
  work.

4) Inflammation of heart muscles during covid-19
the body's immune system overreacts to the
infection that releases inflammatory molecules in
the bloodstream, they are called cytokines, this
cytokinin can damage multiple organs including
the heart.

5) Decreased oxygen supply leads to heart damage
covid-19 patients the first symptom is lack of
oxygen due to the lack of oxygen the blood
pressure may drop or spike, due to this sudden
stress on the heart this can lead to heart
damage.
6) Formation of blood clots there has been a rise
in the number of clot incidents after covid, the
covid-19 may deteriorate the limbic system, blood
vessels, as well as lungs. Coronavirus can lead
to the formation of blood clots and damage the
internal lining of the blood vessels causing
heart problems. 7) Excessive sweating after
covid-19 is also a sign of cardiac arrest, this
may be due to clotting in the blood, due to the
clots formed in the arteries the sweating
happens, this is because of irregular regulation
of the body temperature. 
Coronavirus has affected many lives in the past
two years, maintaining a healthy lifestyle proper
exercising schedule, and eating a healthy diet
can help you to prevent any of the problems after
covid-19. Mostly patients diagnosed with covid-19
have fully recovered and lived a healthy
lifestyle.
