Former Vol opponent with Covid/heart trouble.

I had “ocular migraines” several years back. Where I’d get tunnel vision or see floaters and spots. MRI revealed it was due to inflammation in my optic nerve. The eye Dr said I likely just got a bug/virus and my immune response triggered the inflammation. He said it can happen to different tissues in the body. When it’s the heart it’s myocarditis. He said it wasnt too worrisome about as it would just go away, which it did quickly and wasn’t ever severe.

I think the point is that it’s a condition which any kind of virus can trigger regardless of the the virus

I had mono and had the typical 'no contact sports or anything for x weeks' statement from the doctor.

So myocarditis with strep and flu is common? Is that what you’re saying? Because the literature classifies it as a rare disease

Myocarditis - NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders)

Common with herpes and tick bite

10-20 cases per 100,000 people according to the National Organization for Rare Diseases. That’s a .00015 chance of developing myocarditis in the general population. There’s not a medical professional on the planet that would agree with you that it’s “more common than most people know” based on those numbers

Neither is death for covid in kids under 23 but it doesn’t stop you.
