Post Covid, night time, shortness of breath and racing heart.
I have had Covid several times and the last four times, I have been experiencing night time shortness of breath (SOB) and rapid heart beats. Each time, so far, has lasted three months. Is anyone else experiencing this and if so what has helped eliminate these symptoms?

I started drinking Pedialyte just to stay hydrated and I noticed that every time I drank it my heart rate and blood pressure would settle down. The heart thing seems to be related to electrolyte levels. I eat very healthy food, but my body still loses electrolytes. Hope this helps.
I had the same issues -racing heart, palpitations, high blood pressure - until I discovered that it was an electrolyte imbalance. My doctor had recommended Pedialyte and whenever I drank it my heart settled down. Googling for information, sure enough COVID can and does affect that balance. Pedialyte temporarily corrects it, but even eating a really healthy diet now has not fixed the problem. I still need the supplement. Check into that. It might help.
