Hey there,
We actually see this a decent amount in clinic (PA in cards here). To echo the above, make sure you take it very slow, get enough rest, and fuel appropriately. Unfortunately, it takes as long as it takes. Pushing it only sets you back. I know it is hard, but try not to have expectations of what you should be doing when (I am not very good at this, but have gotten better). If you are having chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc it is not a bad idea to get an ECG/echocardiogram/troponin to check for inflammation in the heart or get a referral to cardiology and/or pulmonology. With a severe case, I would definitely recommend evaluation prior to return to play and not just trying to push through it and making sure everything is ok.
I remember when the BJSM guidelines first came out for that! I think they were the first ones that were a good resource for eval of athletes prior to return to play?
Good luck!
Rachel
