Sorry Sue that your family is not supporting you. As far as I know my family believes me. How long have you had the tachycardia and fast breathing? When did it start? Mine starts about four hours into sleep at night. Worsens towards morning.

Some of my family and other people that I had in my life (notice past tense) either do not believe it is a real illness or just can't understand it. That is another difficult part of this and why I come to this page everyday. I have isolated myself, partly due to feeling shitty and the other piece is the lack of understanding and even people that have never heard of Long COVID. I know that isolating is not healthy and I am in school (online) so I am not completely isolated. I am in an internship that is hybrid, I work from home some and I go in about 12 hours a week. Those days are difficult as I am completely fatigued and feel terrible in the evening and then have the post exertion malaise when I wake up. I have that daily although some mornings are much worse than others.
