My heart palpitations got worse when I over-extended myself physically. They were pretty much gone (late spring this year) then I started swimming this summer. I actually felt it "trigger" the heart palpitations back into starting again. When I exercise too much, which is not much at this point, it actually is jarring to my body -- I'm wide awake at night. So there's definitely something "bigger" happening in the body than just over-exertion. It feels like a clear domino effect. So, I am very cautious now to not over extend myself at all -- physically, mentally and emotionally too. The heart palpitations are the only remaining symptom I have, long-haul wise.

I may try an ice bath again because this has worked as a "reset" for me in the past.

I have also developed an autoimmune disorder post Covid. So now if I am exposed to anything, even getting Botox, I will have all the post Covid symptoms all over again. My neurologist recommended taking a small round of steroids when this happens for now. We just have to try to live with it. It is hard for me as I am a runner and want to exercise daily. I know now to get my heart symptoms under control then can workout. My heart rate will be high sometimes and I will have palpitations but I push through. I have to balance how much I can do due to PEM.
