I am on round 2 of long covid. I had it last July 2021 and had it again in May 2022. This time is much worse, going on 4-5 months now. I was feeling better but was exposed again. My body fought it off, but I now have an autoimmune response to anything, including increased heart rate, not appropriate for activity level. I can be sitting an it is 95. Stand up and its 110. And I am in excellent physical health. I am a high intensity athlete at my usual level. I have been on metoprolol already for a POTS like syndrome. It helps some. But I feel like you have to just wait these episodes out and they go away. This time the palpitations are terrible. My cardiologist diagnosed me with LGL syndrome. A shortened PR interval. He says it is benign, which gives me some sort of comfort. So a week ago, I was feeling better, and decided to get botox. I had the same cascade of long covid symptoms with heart rate elevations and palpitations. It just keeps getting crazier! I give up on trying to figure it out.

There is a Facebook group with 90,000+ long haulers in it from around the world, if you're interested in talking to others and hearing what has worked. Many people have done well with a low-inflammation, low-histamine diet. It helps relieve your body of that constant immune response. There are other simple protocols that work well too -- not just a prescription given for symptoms (not actual treatment of the root cause). Hang in there! It does get better. But be sure to be moderate with physical activity and exposing your immune system to anything new, that your body may react poorly to.
