'My heart ... was pumping right out of my chest' | Weeks after being diagnosed with Covid-19, 27-year-old nurse Kelly Talty experienced her heartbeat running at five times the normal rate. Here, she tells her story RTEInvestigates |

"I was lying in bed asleep and I woke up with my heart on fire basically - it was pumping right out of my chest."

"A lot of people who have had it have been back to work after two weeks," she says. "So it's nearly a month now and I'm not going back to work any time soon. I can't go to the bathroom without my heart rate going up to 140." Concerned for her welfare, staff admit Kelly to the hospital. Days later, we meet her again in one of the wards where she is still connected to a heart monitor.

"I suppose because I've never had anything like this before. It's been absolutely fine. I've never had any issues with my heart or my lungs. Like I'm fit, healthy and it's absolutely floored me."
