From suspicions of Covid to the “worst diagnosis” of her life: the drama of a Spanish woman who began with “murky pains”

The non-specific nature of the symptoms of the different forms of Covid (especially in the early stages) means that, in many cases, some affected people identified it incorrectly when in reality they were suffering from a very different and, in some cases, much more serious ailment. This is what happened to Sara, a young woman who explained on her TikTok account what happened after noticing some “cloudy pains.” We have to go back to 2021, in the midst of the pandemic. Sara began to notice one day that she was short of breath, that she was having discomfort, and when she found out that her coworkers had tested positive, she assumed that she had also succumbed. She went to the hospital and this is where the strangeness of the case began: the PCR test was negative for the virus and the x-rays did not show anything strange in the lungs. Everything was apparently fine, but she continued to have discomfort. She attributed it to something related to tobacco, since at that time “and especially in moments of great stress” she smoked a lot. Upon returning home, the discomfort turned into real “cloudy pains” on the left side of her torso and, what was more strange, in her shoulders. It was no longer normal, but it was becoming more and more. She returned to the hospital and headed back to the emergency room.

When she returned to the emergency room, this time from another hospital, they attributed it all to muscle pain, so they gave her a painkiller and sent her home. The painkiller did nothing, and those pains, which no longer allowed him to sleep, lasted for a full week. On Sunday (she had already had the discomfort for 10 days), after ruling out that it was Covid or muscle pain, she found the key. It was thanks to a simple blood test, where they asked for a very specific value that was “through the roof” and confirmed that blood coagulation was not correct, far from it. Thanks to that, they sent her directly to the ICU.

And not only that, the doctors confirmed that what seemed like “some thrombus” had been several. In addition, she had had a pulmonary infarction that was confirmed after several tests and after being treated with anticoagulants and heparin in the hospital itself, she was discharged. The fatal combination that almost cost him his life. The doctors prescribed a course of anticoagulants for several months, in addition to subjecting her to various tests to find the origin of these blood clots. And the key to it was a change in her medical habits.

I had been taking the pill (contraceptive) for two months, and I had been a smoker for many years. White and in a bottle,” explains Sara, who also underwent genetic tests to rule out any reason on that front.

She is affected as much as the patients themselves Doctors recommend that, if you have pain that is out of the ordinary, it is best to go to the doctor or emergency room so they can perform tests and detect what is happening. Of course, you should never self-medicate without consulting a doctor, especially if you suspect that it may be something serious.
