Anyone had success with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and long covid?

Has anyone used hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) therapy to help with long covid symptoms? If so, did you experience relief from this therapy?

If you decide to go through this you got to somehow find the right person to guide you through it. There is a local specialist around me who works with a lot of my concussion clients and they get oxidative stress they get the bends it's just too many sessions too close together for too long. I wish I was an expert so I could guide them all I can do is tell them when they've overdone it.

I tried it twice, but my headache was worse after, so l did not continue. I am not claustrophobic, but if you are is something to consider.

I had this treatment for a bone edema a few yearas ago, and it has caused chronic dysfunction of my eustachian tubes (dizziness, clogged ears, tinnitus, difficulty travelling by plane/ fast trains, etc.), so I would be extra vigilant about any discomfort or pain in your ears during treatment. Good luck!!

I have Long Covid and often feel shortness of breath. The doctor from a functional medical center recommended this treatment to me and I just had once. Not very comfortable but I will try the second time next week.

Keep me posted. I hope it works well for you.

Thank you.

Probably a long shot, but wondering if anyone had tried HBOT for Long Covid or at least seriously looked into it. There are a couple limited studies that showed good results, however it’s not FDA approved for LC so insurance won’t cover it, making it extremely expensive.

Following.

Started to look into it , I’m in the Uk so everything non traditional has to be self funded outside the NHS. Research seems to be pro for LC, but depends on various symptoms! Found a localish charity offering sessions at about £25 ( not sure if they would consider LC worthy), but would be at least 4 hours a trip to get to, most, nearer, more like £150-250 per session. So looked into hiring and buying a portable ‘chamber’ to use at home. The hireable one was worth considering as set up by specialist from firm, but never got as far as asking about oxygen, and costs. If you could find a few local people who would benefit too you might make it an affordable price to give it a go for 2-4 weeks. Like many LC ‘cures’ or even making me feel abit better (notably very high Bp at rest but very low BP on standing so faint), everything seems worth a try but this is a bit pricey for a gamble on benefiting.
