Ms. Mac, if you are located in the region of Johns Hopkins (main campus or any of its satellite locations around Baltimore), you may want to consider getting a referral to the Hopkins long COVID clinic (PACT). Since the clinicians from whom you have sought help have brushed you off (which shocks the conscious, really (I have myself experienced the brush-off multiple times already, usually from ENT specialists)), possibly you can get situated with a new primary care provider. The primary care doctors in the Hopkins network are overstretched these days, but I´ve had good experiences with several of the PAs attached to internal medicine PCPs. Do you use MyChart? If so, you should be able to schedule with a new PCP (likely initially to be a PA or CNP) at one of the Hopkins locations simply by using the scheduling system inside MyChart. You have probably used this system, and if so, you know that it will generate open appt. listings arranged by date. I see no reason you cannot see a sequence of PCPs, over time, until such time as one of them hears you out and considers making a referral to PACT. Hereś a link to PACT:

I am in the trials for the inherited cholesterol gene and have been for four years. My doc who asked me how I was on my last visit, was the Hopkins cardiologist in the trials that immediately said, I will run some tests, but I can tell you it is "Long Covid". I had a horrible case of Covid last November along with pneumonia. Palpitations ever since, bigeminy and trigeminy patterns 24/7. I have sought out several doctors at Hopkins and found one who will help me I hope. I really appreciate your advice, and a pep talk. You do know the system. And I am in My Chart for several physician specialists, plus my PCP. Thank you so much.
