Yes, I agree with you , my blood pressure went up , why I don’t know they didn’t know either the doctor gave me 50mg of blood pressure medicine and my heart was beating so fast nonstop I couldn’t do anything I was in another zone , I felt like I felt like I was going to die. I called the doctor and he gave me a lower dosage I never took it, It took me weeks to come to myself, we have to be very careful what medicines we take with this long Covid. I get medicines from each doctor I go to , I don’t take them anymore they are shooting in the dark, and playing with our lives.

Exactly, and being a nurse I know some of the medicines and the reaction they are going to give and don't take them. I never in my life has high blood pressure but have since having long covid. Some of those meds exacerbate the symptoms too. I went from taking miralax, probiotics and senna for constipation to having been prescribed over 20 meds for long covid. I just feel like at this point is there anything out there that can maybe just give me a system reboot because all these meds and experimenting on me is not it! On Monday I have to get a heart monitor to see if my shortness of breath is from my heart or lungs. My neurologist prescribed me another new med he said it helps people with narcolepsy to see if it will help me...the side effects of this med....just OMG!! I am tired. So tired of being a Guinea pig and long covid
