For me, the fatigue does get worse when I experience hunger, but shouldn’t really be hungry. Also have done the protein bars. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not. Yes, I did put on weight after getting Covid twice, but I also ended up having to get my gallbladder removed in 2022.
Here is food for thought. If you have POTS, your fatigue gets worse if you skip a meal. Hard to get a POTS diagnosis since only a small number of cardiologists have the expertise to make the call. POTS cardiologists are booked out the wazoo because of Covid induced POTS. Like 2 years plus for an appointment. I have one scheduled at Duke, but they can’t get me in until March of 2026. It’s crazy.
