Post-Covid Chest Pains in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of HAPPINESS

Anyone else have them? The most maddening thing about all of this is that it’s just assumed that some of these emergency issues will continue for some time after you’re done being contagious. For someone like me with anxiety, this is absolute torture. I’m pretty good at rationalizing between what I’m really feeling versus what anxiety is making me feel. These chest pains aren’t anxiety…but ALSO I’m finding that chest pains after Covid are normal....but they could be something more....but they might not be..... You see my dilemma? I was driving to work and the pains kicked in, and I immediately turned around to head to the ER. Then I sat in the ER Parking lot thinking about how they’ll just run a few tests and tell me I’m fine and leave me with a huge bill. Then I thought about how my doctors office isn’t going to really help very much either…but they will be able to put referrals in for a cardiologist visit and a pulmonologist. I decided to go this route. I’m just waiting for my Doctors office to open. Hopefully I can get in to see someone today (probably not). I’m not optimistic. For one, I’m a black woman in pain and that’s automatically discarded. Then add on the fact that when I was sick and barely able to breathe or function that my doctor took DAYS to call me back in regards to me wanting antibody treatment. Then add on the fact that I am Post-Covid and they’re going to shrug it off to being just that. I actually want a full look over. People with anxiety you’ll know what I’m feeling right now. I need to know that I’m okay and that I’m not just going to drop dead tomorrow and leave my kids on this Earth without their mother. It breaks my heart to even type that. I want my pain to be taken seriously. I want the treatment that someone with big money would get. I’m having chest pains, and I am scared. I’ve known people who just DIE with no signs. I’m having SIGNS…and I want to be checked out FULLY. Is this too much to ask?
