Hi, unfortunately no. I did test positive for POTS “like” symptoms, was only given management for it. Up my water and salt intake, wear compression garments, but that’s about it. My doctor, Dr Congden was also very kind, sympathetic, patient and supportive of what I’m going through. So that helps a little, if nothing else emotionally.
I still suffer from sinusitis, tinnitus, balance issues and horrible gastrointestinal symptoms. I was sick I believe with Covid again in February, even though I tested negative, my daughter tested positive. So unfortunately things are worse, now I have severe nerve pain and symptoms I was already suffering from have elevated. I was given Gabapentin but it caused vision problems. So I push through the pain best I can.
At this point I’ve taken a pause going to doctors for help, because so far nothing has.
I pray you are feeling much better.
Best wishes

Hi...I have the same problem..my insurance would not pay for the tilt table test and if they would have it would have saved me , the insurance company , and my poor body a lot of expense. I was diagnosed with Orthostatic hypotension..alias pots on march 17, 24 when I fainted in my driveway..had a head injury TBI and concussion, then I fainted again on June 5, 24 when I had extensive injury to my Right leg and left ribs..luckily no broken bones. I had the gastrointestinal problems for two years as it left me with severe ulcerative colitis, nerve pains in my feet and right arm..it was like I was touching an electric fence and it hurt to wear shoes or walk. My blood pressure has been so high..its scary..they just doubled my med after another trip to the ER last week. Headaches and dizziness..and vertigo and fatigue. This long haul stuff has taken over my soul and there are physicians and friends who do not believe or understand this syndrome. I also have the hearing and vision loss too. I pray for you and all of our long covid friends . I hope some day someone can help us. Hugs to all of you..Kitty2
