KOLKATA: Several cases of deaths due to sudden cardiac arrest and complaints of lingering chest pain in patients who have recovered from Covid infection have led experts as well as the state health department to advise against cardiovascular exercises or intense physical activities for at least three months after recovery.
While sudden aggravation of heart condition post-Covid has mostly been seen in patients who already had underlying cardiac issues there have been many cases of younger patients getting detected with similar problems. Doctors say intense physical exercise might worsen the situation.
