June 2022/ think had Ba5/ had night sweats 3X/fever 99s/ tired, congestion/ rested/ Paxlovid gave me serious runs/ day 15 test (-). now get light headed then dizzy with activity/especially w/up & down & bending over. Have had: brain MRI, Sinus CT, balance tests, hearing test, All ear functions OK. Up coming: heart & brain doc appointments. Now at 6 months & nothing found wrong, Would take 1-2 hours of activity to get dizzy enough to stop & lay down. Now get to dizziness within an hour. Hope that something turns up in next appointments.

Please review this website before your next Dr appointments. There’s a list of tests that people have found helpful and not helpful.
Best of luck for us all!
You need PT exercises for balance issues and my Dr. Prescribed me low dose Naltroxine for pain, brain fog. It takes a few weeks for the medication to start to work. All has helped about 75%. Getting better one day at a time
