A fit and healthy Dublin man in his 50s, who walked 25,000 steps a day, was shocked when he suffered from an unsuspected heart attack last week.
Now, Cathal Burke suspects that his symptoms were masked by long Covid after he attributed his recent feelings of fatigue to the after-effects of the virus.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, the 51-year-old recounted how he suddenly started experiencing chest pains while he was at home alone in his girlfriend’s apartment.
