AI doesn’t seem to have picked up many LC sufferers have symptoms like mine ( high BP at rest but ‘postural hypotension, not Pots’, random high HR, breathlessness etc etc) without having heart or lung conditions as shown on scans/xrays, echocardiograms etc etc. I tried early intervention 5 years ago ending up on 5 different antihypertensives, full syncope and a completely useless Breathing course. I have tried lots of self help supplements and tips, and started swimming 26 months ago (50 mins 5 x a week) to do something about potential deconditioning, but still can’t stand /walk few a few minutes, never mind hobbies like cooking or gardening!

One of our members had some good results with some form of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine with digestive problems. So I started researching it. It turns out it a precursor to the amino acid cysteine which is a building block for glutathione. Glutathione (in some studies) seems to help with breathing problems ( in some people).
It has been found to be low in some people with lung problems. I think I will give it a try as I may have low glutathione due to five different severe stresses in 2023. It was the following February I started having 3 month long bouts of the SOB/racing heart at night when or after sick with Covid. Stress can lower glutathione in the body. Just something to research.
