Difficulty maintaining body weight after Covid

Interesting. I feel like I had Covid before they came out with announcing what it even was. This happened to me in Nov./Dec. 2019. The doctor didn't know what was wrong with me. Shortness of breath, malaise, just not well but not super sick. I'm athletic and exercise 6 days a week and do my best to take care of myself. This phenomenon eventually passed and I have also had a weight loss of about 10 pounds. I thought it might be because I contracted C-diff after taking Clyndamycin for a dental issue. That was horrible and very scary to survive. I am much better now but am still maintaining the lower weight. Not necessarily trying to, it's just happening. Maybe it does stem back from the "Covid", I really don't know. I still feel also, like I have rapid heart beat at times that I never had before. I guess only time will tell. I also deal with a tortuous intestine and this has added complications. I'm doing well and I hope that you do too. It will be interesting to see if there are others that share their experiences. I hope so.

Hi @euqcaj

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Have you seen a cardiologist? I wore a 48 hour Holter monitor that provided some good data and was reassuring that nothing major was going on with my heart.

The beta blocker that was prescribed by my cardiologist has really helped and I’ve had no negative side-effects.

I hope you continue to improve and, yes, it’ll be interesting to see if others have similar experiences to ours.

Thank you!
