There is a Facebook group called Neuro V Long-Haulers for people who have had adverse neurological reactions to the Covid vaccines. Many people in the group have fasciculations, tachycardia, and neuropathy. Because this is so new, some physicians are unenlightened and fall back on a diagnosis of "anxiety". There is increasing evidence for immune dysregulation in both long COVID and vaccine injuries. The immune dysregulation is known to allow dormant EBV to take off. I imagine the same thing happens with a new mono (EBV) infection. You need to see a neurologist and be tested for autonomic nerve dysfunction, which could explain the tachycardia. You might also purchase a watch type heart monitor to document the episodes more thoroughly in advance of your visits to doctors. I recommend joining the Facebook group.
Hi @pauleliaz, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you have these dreadful condition. Kudos to you for reading through the entire discussion. Not sure there is a miracle cure but one is needed. I think it may be like some other conditions that are diagnosed by exclusion. I found this YouTube video that goes through the causes and treatments that might be helpful for those trying to find more information for BFS.
Stress has been identified as one of the possible causes. Have you looked into changes that might help decrease your stress?
