The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention planned to recommend that people who suffered heart inflammation following COVID-19 vaccination not engage in rigorous activity for months, according to a newly disclosed document.
“Patients can typically return to normal activity after initial improvement in symptoms, though restriction from rigorous activity like competitive sports is typically recommended for at least 3 months for those with myocarditis, due to concerns for sudden cardiac events while the heart recovers,” the CDC stated in the draft alert, which it was poised to send to health care providers in May 2021.
