Purchased these just now. Not fucking around anymore, I have to get a CAT scan. I've been dealing with chest pain since January 8th and have since taken NSAIDs for the first time in many years, had a trip to the ER, dealt with frightening pain (angina) and inflammation near the heart. I've gotten my blood pressure taken twice, have been using a pulse oxyemeter I bought months ago to monitor heart rate and oxygen levels daily, got blood work done, ECG done, x-ray of the chest done <------all those at the ER, and one of the best cardiologists in my area performed an ultrasound and found nothing wrong. He couldn't believe that the hospital didn't order a Covid-19 test while I was there. It takes a minute or two and it's done. All this pain in my chest could be Covid-19 related he said. So he and I suspect thrombosis might be the issue; it's a possibility and would explain some things. Could be that, I'll have to wait and see, my doctor that I saw today ordered a CT scan. So in a few days or so I'll get the scan and get the readings of it all from him and that should bring me to a conclusion finally
Ordered a Covid-19 test / Pixel by LabCorp earlier yesterday so hopefully today it arrives today
Bottom line is that if this issue I am dealing with is in fact caused by the new coronavirus that I might have contracted, then it is truly a fucked virus that potentially threatens its hosts with a very troublesome and serious disease. Luckily I don't feel completely fucked, but I do feel there is some issue going on around the left side of my chest area near the heart. Is it vascular? Is it possibly some very tiny cancer growth that all the other tests have not been able to detect? Idk at the moment, but the Covid-19 test and the CAT scan could reveal the answer for me. If those show nothing, then I have essentially ruled out mostly everything save for a rare disease or condition of some sort
Stay safe bros and sisters. I'm 29, thought I was healthy and ready to go for training upperbody on a Friday that dayan 8th - but that morning it was angina (chest pain) and I couldn't even walk around the block like an old man without very serious discomfort and pain in my chest. I deliberately chose to amble like an old man during my walk around the block, and even then - I was very concerned about having a heart attack or something during that brief walk...No signs of heart disease from all the tests, so possibly this is caused by thrombosis aka blood clots. Will have to wait to find out. Very serious stuff, I urge people to take their health and safety into consideration with all their choices
Take your health into consideration and protect yourselves from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Sleep at the right time ideally if you can. Limit stress, manage your stress levels. Relax more. Fix your diet and start eating to nourish your body; focus on a heart healthy, brain healthy, overall healthy diet that will ensure all the organs in your system will function well and optimally. Max your kitchen out with superfoods. Don't let negative emotions such as anger weigh you down and tax your emotional and physical well being, fight anxiety with soothing music or meditation or yoga maybe video games or a movie. Exercise but do it in such a way that yields benefits according to your personal fitness level; do not overtax your body if you can avoid it. I think all these choices we make are important in preventing damage from a possible bout with Covid-19. I think health is more important now more than ever and people should start taking their choices and actions a lot more seriously given the pandemic. Because if what I am dealing with is Covid-19 related, then I got it at some point, and was asymptomatic and yet it still managed to attack my system. Who knows what else took a hit? All I know is that I was dealt a serious reality check and now I take health more seriously than ever. I hope to share good information with others that might help them and their loved ones increase in their health, longevity, and boost their quality of life. It's a very important topic we must all discuss with each other often IMO. Health is too important to neglect

Forgive me for such a serious post, I usually like to joke around mainly and be sort of free flowing with my posts but I feel people need to start aligning themselves towards making better decisions that will directly impact their health. And immediately so. I hope people can protect themselves and others as best they can. I wanted to share some of my views at this time and hopefully some will read and this will help some here on the site and many others as well; their loved ones to some degree
