Long COVID, Insensitivity from Medical Professional in Replies 

My doctor had me go in for an echocardiogram stress test yesterday to rule out various causes of my Long COVID symptoms. It was absolutely awful, and triggered another down cycle, which is especially inconvenient because this week is so hectic at work. (Luckily I am able to work from home). I barely pulled myself out of bed (almost noon here) and just feel completely awful.

To make matters worse, the doctor overseeing the test had 0 sensitivity and 0 knowledge of Long COVID symptoms stated (while I am running on the treadmill just trying to not collapse) that he already made his diagnosis, I am out of shape. Not being able to run and do all the other exercise activities I enjoy has been especially painful, and his insensitive comments really ruined my week. Bleh.

@Exsangus lack of education is the downfall of any profession.
