Post Covid Head Pressure/ Dizziness

Hi there...This is an old thread but hope maybe you check in, fellow New Yorker! My primary Covid symptom was dizziness, not respiratory, and it's persisted after bouts #2 and #3. This on top of chronic sinusitus, so it's hard to parse: Is it sinus stuff causing my symptoms, which include dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus or is it post-Covid? Or can they even tell? I had an intake at NYU and would love to know if the program was helpful for you. My intake doc, Dr. Munger, was smart, kind, and thorough but had no suggestions or follow-up. I realize my symptoms haven't put me on disability, but they do affect QOL...always feeling shaky, like my head doesn't quite belong to me and, as the above poster perfectly described:..."...dizzy but not exactly, feels like dropping on a roller coaster but not exactly, feels like light headedness but not exactly, when I stand still I sense a rocking sensation. " Yup. Me too. Best wishes to you and to everyone on this board!!

@mbryant1380 I'd posted this but neglected to include your I.D....I was wondering if the NYU program did anything for you...hope you still check in!!
Hello, I feel your pain…I had Covid in December of 2022 and lost my taste and smell. I’ve had 4 Stellate Ganglion Block injections for my loss of taste/smell. It’s helped slightly, where I can now smell my coffee grounds every morning and have a stronger sense of salty, sweet, sour/bitter on my tongue. What the SGB did do for me was help my anxiety. I don’t feel as shaky as I once did and that has helped me a lot. I’m not on any anxiety drugs or anything like that, so this was not expected, but I’m happy about it. Now if I could just get the taste and smell back, that would be so wonderful! I too was off balance and felt like I was on a boat, but that seems to have subsided as well.

@shashig Appears you are quoting me. Those were and still are to a degree my symptoms along with PEM and Exercise Intolerance. I consider them managed, but not cured. My hopes are one day they go away, but nobody seems to know for sure.
