I thought the heart issue was the result of myocarditis because of some RNA expression of ACE2 in the heart muscle. It is possible the virus causes disruption of the autonomic nervous system, however I am not sure.
If the virus attacks the central nervous or the vasovagal nerve...it could,in theory, create a vasovagal response..thus the dropping to the ground.
In a typical response your heart starts beating again once you drop to the ground. I forget how long my heart had stopped beating during the test.
You are starting to see people talk about syncope...and feeling dizzy.
This happens with vasodepressor syncope..and of course a lot of other things
I think the whole vasodepressor syncope issue is a still a mystery in the medical field. They don’t why you get it in the first place..if it suddenly leaves you one day...why it would suddenly leave you, etc
I never knew I had it until a tilt table test. Had never fainted in my life before or after that test. But I have felt the light headed dizzy feeling and the sweats that happened before I passed out.
The vasovagal nerve can effect other organs ..although my GP doesnt seem to know that it does or anything about it. LOL
