Syncope ( fainting), and presyncope with the drained feeling like a large magnet is removing strength from arms/ shoulders indicating if I don’t sit or lie down immmediately I’ll black out…it’s caused by dysautonomia Bp/ Hr and breathless problems, specifically ‘postural hypotension’ (61/40 at tilt table test) and very disabilitating around the home, and worse outside as can come with vomiting and diarrhoea. So lost or compromised hobbies from cooking, gardening, walking, visiting historic etc sites…. Brain fog now number 2 as noticeably working memory getting worse, fortunately can still read novels , watch films/ dramas, but very difficult reading likes of scientific papers etc ( can’t do anagrams, interpret graphs). I have had fibromyalgia for a decade + before LC so got used to all over pain/ exhaustion, now just 25% worse, but since I can’t stand it’s manageable. Minor LC symptom has been loss of sense of smell over 5 years, hardly life threatening , though have discovered food burning on the stove, but does rather upset enjoyment of life like going out for a meal, or effort into cooking for others, as flavours altered and some textures now disgusting!

I just started having dreams too but my lips are numb and partially my tongue.
It’s just horrid!!
I would definitely consult a neurologist. That's not a typical long Covid symptom. Hugs
