Juan Sosa was doing pushups in the bedroom where he had isolated himself for almost two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. His mild symptoms were long gone and it was the final day of the vaccinated man’s quarantine.
He had never had heart issues before. The pain was severe and “heavy,.” he said. He drove himself to a walk-in clinic on E Brandon Boulevard.
Doctors quickly determined Sosa, 58, was having a heart attack. An ambulance rushed him to HCA Florida Brandon Hospital. The last thing he remembers that day is a nurse cutting open his T-shirt.
Scientists now believe that COVID-19 patients suffer more than respiratory issues. Several studies have revealed that the virus can also damage the heart, and it is even more of a threat to those who have a heart condition.
