Hey all, I had COVID a little over a month ago and ever since then I have been experiencing chest pain that is increasing in frequency and pain. It was just a bit of random discomfort when I would take deep breaths but it's slowly morphed into a pain that will rear its head multiple times a day, seemingly at random. It mostly feels like a pressure in my chest but I will sometimes get a stabbing or sharper pain under my shoulder blades, in my back, or in my ribs. It will disappear just as randomly as it showed up. I do think it is tied to anxiety a bit because I've been growing increasingly worried about it and have noticed it shows up whenever I start to worry about it.

I did message my primary to make an appointment this morning, as yesterday I was getting short of breath on my walk and today while eating breakfast I had an episode of pain that basically took away my appetite. But I'm trying not to panic until then and just wanted some (hopefully) reassuring stories that other people have experienced this too. Thank you <3
