Your heart, lungs, and pancreas all have ace receptors so the coronavirus can enter all of those organs and do some damage and it won't be mild even for survivors.

Since we're talking about the heart in this thread, imagine how much harder your heart will have to work if it is starved of oxygen because the coronavirus is wrecking shop on you're lungs preventing it from doing an exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

Now imagine how much more stress your heart will go through when a viral invasion leads to a cytokine storm that will weaken your heart muscles as well as cause clotting.

I think your pancreas is self-healing over time to some degree, but there can be complications. I have a good friend with pancreatitis (unknown cause but it predated Covid) and he had to get his gallbladder removed as a precautionary measure.

I never took a full on course in physiology but we did touch on the pancreas in cell bio. Knowing how the coronavirus can enter the pancreas and do some damage I'm not surprised that some people that survive covid end up walking out of the hospital with diabetes (the pancreas regulates insulin and can control blood sugar levels)

Ok, I get it. Covid attacks beta cells in the pancreas, thereby fukking up its functions (synthesizing ans secreting insulin). @Rhakim, they might be at deaths door from other complications before the pancreas even gets a chance to regenerate. :rip:

Beta cell - Wikipedia
COVID-19 can infiltrate insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, study suggests

So, if you get/ have covid, you can sorta prepare for the problems that will surely cascade down upon you once you're done dealing with the immediate, life or death part of the disease. Since doctors don't generally pre treat shyt, I'd go with something herbal and pancreas- protecting. Here are some options.

I think he's just calming people down who see "heart inflammation" and assume it's something life-threatening.

As the article says, most cases are mild and resolve within a couple weeks. And it's only "slightly higher risk - about 1 in 100,000. But OP is full on MAGA and posts shyt like this all the time trying to push against vaccine, masking, etc.
This is when you as an adult have to do your due diligence.

He posted an article with no opinion attacked. Even if his opinion was attached I’d still read it. You of all people know ima check those receipts.

Sometimes valuable info is gonna come from a source you don’t fukk with:yeshrug:

Homie below may as well be the minority. I also think he may want to know about the 1/100,000 details if that one is him. Even though some posters feel comfortable “downplaying” them. And he’s gotten or is at least considering the shot.

Well, would ya look at that a “full on MAGA”as you put it, helped someone make a decision on what vaccine is best for them.

After getting covid and the heart pain that I went through I knew the Moderna shot would not be it for me. My heart felt like it was severing itself from the valves.

I understand numbers but having that risk even at 12% is too high for me personally. Not even 30 and felt like I was going to die from heart pain.

The pancreas doesn’t necessarily heal, like a liver can over time. It sort of scars, but can still function.

Same one I got :salute:


I hate that you're dealing with long covid breh. That's what scares me... catching this stuff and having potential long term effects from it.

Its the game we're in now. I've got those long term migraines from it but it could be worse.

We're in the endgame now :lupe::wow:


I was thinking about it earlier today. At this point I'm bracing myself for the deaths of millions.

Ppl won't get vaccinated, heck I went to wally world today and some folks weren't even wearing masks.

We are in the endgame and this is about to be an extinction level event with the amount of ppl about to get wiped out.

Protect yourselves and your family. Thats all we can do at this point.
