The charity notes: “Chest pain is a common symptom of COVID-19. Some people are experiencing chest pain that lasts beyond their initial COVID-19 infection, or that starts in the weeks after they’ve had the virus.
“It’s important to remember that even if you have had COVID-19 and are now experiencing chest pain, it may not be related to the virus.”
Indeed, the charity says if you experience any new type of chest pain, it’s important to get medical advice, as chest pain can be a sign of something more serious, like a heart or lung problem.
It notes that a study by Imperial College London also found that long Covid tended to increase with age and was more likely to affect women.
