Extreme exhaustion after normal exertion?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jan 11 7:04am | Replies (73)Comment receiving replies
I’m 67 and have long covid. Since COVID my story is about the same as yours and I also had severe sweats to the point of changing my nightwear 3-4 times each night. I’ve been negative for any newer serious problems except for running out of breath and having my heart pound out of my chest. I have a fib and a flutter, pacemaker and have had a heart attack and open heart surgery. I have been gaining weight fast and a crazy active appetite. I am acting like I’m 15-20 years older, my mood is being affected because I’m fat, fatigued, female and feeling uninterested in my life anymore.

Oh I am so sorry. This is devastating. It is so discouraging to see the response of medical folk o( or most people) when an overweight female is involved! I’ve gained a ton of weight on a Med years ago and then lost it. The before and after is stunning. This virus messes with all systems— including our hormones, but I do NOT think just hormones cause weight gain. Your body has major signals messed up: temp dysregulation and weight gain are a common complaint for women, from what I’m seeing on this chat. You aren’t alone in this. MANY of us are fighting this, and so far no one in Med is addressing it. I’m going to do a deep dive into my Long Haul sources, and will get back. But do not give up.
