Post Covid sweating: Is this common for others too?

Have you been diagnosed with POTS?
There are specialist in autonomic nervous system who can help you with this.. POTS is a whole conversation 😊, but maybe it helps to know that I drink lots of fluid, including electrolyte solution. I take medication to control my heart rhythm (beta blockers and at one time Ivabradine, (medicine for heart failure) to allow for better blood flow throughout the body. I slowly rehabbed so my activity level is better.
Best,

I have found that propanolol helps me with stress as well. I also try and drink a lot of water. One of my symptoms of Long COVID is that if I drink ANYTHING other than water, I feel like I have a UTI. In 2023 I went to see a urologist, thinking I had a UTI, although my GP tested my urine and there was no bacteria. She said it sounded like interstitial cystitis. There was no evidence of that either, so I am sticking with water. I know it is the best thing to drink, but damn what I would give for some iced tea or a sprite.
