Why did I have to remember this one - that any virus can go to the heart and cause myocarditis which can be mild or life threatening. I stupidly googled it and of course the symptoms are same as those of loads of viruses - fast heartbeat/fever/chest pain etc etc.
Common sense tells me it is rare but I am in such a bad health anxiety panic being genuinly ill that I am googling.
I know that any virus speeds your heartbeat up until you are better and I have a fast heartbeat anyway due to anxiety ( didn't help reading that a persistant fast heartbeat can cause your heart to enlarge) and I read that your heartbeat would be fster than expected with a fever but didn't say how fast.
Please talk some sense into me someone
