Anyone have symptoms of longhaul COVID, but didn't have infection?

Posted by tylerk @tylerk, Dec 31, 2021

Has anyone experienced the neurological symptoms of covid, but haven’t had covid that they are were aware of?
For the past three months, I’ve been dealing with brain fog, lightheaded, eye flashes about once a week, subtle dizziness, and my eyes feel strained or fatigued often. I also dealt with brand new and pretty significant heart burn at around the same time (it has since settled down)

As far as I know, I haven’t had covid, I’ve never experienced any other symptoms of it. Is it possible I had it and didn’t know, and this is all covid related? It began 19 days after my second vaccine shot. That could be a coincidence.

I’ve had a brain mri done, echocardiograms, a ct scan of my heart, a full blood panel and a full eye exam. All are completely normal. I have more follow up appointments, but not much seems to make sense, other than maybe it’s just covid?

For a long time people have had symptoms that could no be explained, and now long covid sites provide people with maybe similar symptoms and an only explanation? Especially given long covid includes such a broad spectrum of symptoms? Can "post covid" symptoms be sparked by a vaccine after having covid? Can there be a dormant reaction to covid? Hopefully similar unexplained symptoms people struggle with might be helped as treatments and research with long-covid continues, esp. if one is suffering but does not qualify for entering long-covid treatment?

I've had these kind of breathing issues for a few years now and I didn't have covid or get any of the shots. for the past month or so I feel like I can hear my heartbeat in my head. I get short of breath just moving around the house. I'm back on Cpap but I still take Sunosi 37.5mg to keep me from napping and to I have energy to do stuff than just sit. I have had many of the tests you've mention. it's a relief to just know I'm not the only one! so thanks for sharing. I can sit at the drs office or my chair and watch my 02 sats go down to 86% and then I seem to take a deep breath.

How is your MIP/MEP in PFT report? I did the PFT test almost once a month. Mine is consistently low than the lower limit of normal since it was first tested in August, 2021. I have only 4 hours of sleep per day since April, 2021, three weeks after the first dose of Covid Vaccine. I now feel sleepy every day and a lot of pain in the calf.
