WTF, I thought that #Covid is supposed to INCREASE your #RestingHeartRate. Instead, mine has been diving ever since we got back from our trip when I was most likely exposed.

My usual problem (perhaps from some previous asymptomatic cases of #Covid) is mild #Tachycardia where my resting heart rate is 10 bpm higher than usual. It is actually doing that right now, but I'm afraid to take my usual medication to deal with it, because if it goes back to being abnormally low, I don't want to make it even lower than that. These #Cardiac complications are one of the main reasons I've been going out of my way to avoid an acute case of Covid. Wearing a mask is so much less of a bother than worrying about keeling over dead from your heart misfiring. #CovidIsNotOver
