Thank you so much! Yes I will buy that book! I am on so many meds from Long COVID. Hence why I don't want any more meds. I am currently working with my PCP to use more supplements and get me off of some of these drugs. To be honest I think my Afib is a combo of the Long COVID and too many drugs in my system.. You are all so sweet to help me & tell me these things! I also have to get my emotions & the stress of that under control as well. I just started a beginners pilates but I can only do so much as I have bad pain in my ribs. Which in all the research I have done. I now think the rib pain is from a bad nervous system from COVID. I am also working on taking some supplements to rebuild my cells. Research I have read & shared with my PCP shows Long COVID is possible damage at a cellular level. I have a hard time sleeping so I do research. Funny I started doing research thinking it would bore me to sleep. Now I find key research studies, write them down to look into further during the day. That knowledge makes me feel better then I can sleep. 😊 I will be 50 next month. I can't work any more so I research. I'm too young for all this crap. I will find something to help me & others! I have to. I loved working but it's too stressful and my brain doesn't work as well after COVID. Anyways I can't thank you enough!!!

I had covid in a terrible way. Never took drugs though. At times when walking, I suddenly am short of breath a bit and put a baby aspirin under my tongue. It might last 2-3 minutes. I would bet though that most of your problems are the d... drugs. Make a list and google the side effects of each and wean yourself slowly off the ones causing problems which is probably all of them. I am 76 and avoid doctors like a plague. I do better than most people I know that are much younger than me who are popping pills or eat a horrible diet.

@saraheigen I forgot to mention meds that can be a trigger for me. Most people start a steroid "pack" at 60mg,it seems. Last spring I took a mere 2 mg of methylprednisolone and was in the ER with afib. It is very difficult to not be able to take steroids (I think even hydrocortisone might be problematic.). Asthma drugs like albuterol and decongestants like sudafed are also triggers. I was in the hospital with COVID and they literally could not treat me, I would imagine stimulants of any kind would also be a problem for me.
Not sure what you are taking for meds and supplements but you are wise to look into triggers with your doctor!
