I had covid November 2021. I am a lot like you. Before covid, I did 4-5 HIIT workouts a week, I was fit. Then covid. Now I have high BP, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, severe nerve pain, fatigue, horrible headaches, awful joint pain.
I started gaining weight, pretty fast. 10 pounds a month. I don’t eat a ton, but the weight keeps coming. I was 160 pounds when I got covid, now I’m 218. I’m miserable in my body. I’m so sorry you’re also going through this.
