Heart in the times of covid

 Heart ,pumping organ of our body , beats to the physical and emitional stimuli , have lub dub heart sounds , determines our pulse rate and blood pressure , and upto size of a fist . The lub dub sounds just feels like as if the heart is saying listen and feel my voice , that your are loved by all my heart and that i’ll take care of you no matter what.

Covid -9 pandemic originated from wuhan and later on affected the whole human population , tremendously causing high mortality and morbidity rates all over the world. Elders , children , youth and even pregnant ladies with their new borns were found in the clutches of pandemic.

Our and others heart was and is overwhelmed by passing away of our near and dear ones , with the ones we can’t even see , feel our touch them or wishing  final goodbye to them.Our heart has no idea what will happen next , how long this pain of losing our closed ones will last, how worse the situation could mould. The heart feels empathetic towards those who can’t even afford to buy masks and hand sanitizers, who can’t afford to stay at homes as their livelihood run by doing job chores . It is disheartened by the fact that migrant workers were forced to switch to their native cities due to business crisis.

It wishes that in this digital world ,every child could learn.

But we forget that this kinda smart world , isn’t accessible to small world.

This heart misses our  loves, as no longer it can go for marriage vows. To the times when we can go for long drives ;spend quality times, have street food ;enjoying the serene views, from dusk till dawn , from relief to dismay, this heart feels alot.

The heart is with the ones who lost their lives  to suicides  and rapes all because of covid outbreak. It is overfilled with sadness ,as newborns are prone to this deadly mess. The heart is roaming ,and is trying to find joy and glory. Doctors , nurses , police officials, public health professionals all doing their best to help out in this disease by heart, by letting their family life apart.

The heart is shouting to don’t whirl around social stigma, as it will cause emotional dilemma.

It says if i am diseased i know i will be weak but you don’t give up on me .

Look for the signs of chest pain , arrythmia , alterations in speech , do your exercises and workouts , stick to your medications avoid oily food , get adequate sleep and maintain your social distance .

Talking about the medical terms Cardiovascular manifestations  such as hypertension and coronary artery disease are associated with high mortality in patients with COVID-19. Drugs used to cease cardiovascular risks such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) have various effects that might influence susceptibility to or the severity of COVID-19. Furthermore, although the main presentation of COVID-19 is viral pneumonia, COVID-19 can also induce cardiovascular manifestations including myocardial injury, myocarditis, arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome and thromboembolism. Among these cardiovascular manifestations, myocardial injury has been independently associated with high mortality among patients with COVID-19 in recent studies .Finally, medications that have been proposed as treatments for COVID-19 which are hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin have pro-arrhythmic effects.

The heart says don’t lose hope , as corona will go downslope .Itsays trust me and your lord and your sorrows will wither off. Donate the blood and plasma of me as it helps to fight against corona in me.

Stand together , heal and help each other , that’s all i say.

Last but not the least respect the corona warriors with all your heart.
