Question
Hello doctor,
I am 23 years old post-Covid 2 months ago I went to the doctor and discovered 1/4 heart valve regurgitation with ethmoid sinusitis. I am often tired in the afternoon, have difficulty breathing and have transient dizziness, I measure my heart rate at rest, in the range of 65-75, there are times of heavy exercise such as playing football, when I inhale, I feel Pain in the left chest sometimes goes through the right chest. When I have trouble breathing, I use deep breathing exercises to ease the shortness of breath. Please ask the doctor if shortness of breath after Covid is a sign of heart valve regurgitation or asthma, I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis a long time ago.

Hello,
With the question “Is shortness of breath after Covid a sign of heart valve regurgitation? ", the doctor answered as follows:
Heart valve regurgitation 1/4 is not considered a cardiovascular disease. However, post-Covid can have a number of complications such as myocarditis, post-Covid thrombosis can also have symptoms as you describe. You should examine the post-covid package to confirm diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about whether shortness of breath after Covid is a sign of heart valve regurgitation, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
