CoQ-10

I take 200mg daily. It is one of my more expensive supplements so I shop Amazon and tend to favor Nature's Best but basically it's whichever brand is most affordable at the time.

What do you believe it does for you?
I have taken so many vitamins and supplements with no discernible improvement. It’s hard to keep taking handfuls of pills that make no difference, though I have continued this behavior for over two years!

I started take CQ10 because I do take a statin which I can barely tolerate due to muscle pain. I thought perhaps I needed the CQ10 and that was why I am having PVCs all the time since COVID back in November. Well, the result is.....I still have every other heart beat is a double (bigeminy). But I am no longer constipated all the time. 🙂

I have trouble with rapid heartbeat, it started in November 2022 after a bout with covid and still it’s going on. I had a referral for a cardiologist who ran some tests and concluded that my heart is beating too fast. I also have sweating and sometimes tremors, it’s almost like heat flashes when you have menopause but stronger. The heart specialist asked me if I was stressed and I am but when I said it started with covid he didn’t make a comment, however he asked me if I would consider a psychiatrist. This wasn’t the help I wanted but I have to start somewhere, I feel very frightened because I’m not getting good medical care and my options are limited, the biggest problem is a big shortage of doctors and I would have to find one that will take me as a patient, I really feel like I’m trapped and no way out.

@frouke I'm so sorry your physician is falling back on the “it’s all in your head” diagnosis for lack of better answers. I’ve been there before and it is not a healthy place to be. One of my most severe Long COVID symptoms was heart racing/palpitations. My doc prescribed 25mg Metoprolol to see if it would be beneficial, though was concerned about a possible lowering of my blood pressure. It was an amazing turnaround for me. Where my heart would spike from a resting heartrate of 80’s to 90’s to over 200 beats per minute without exertion, at the worst, my resting heartrate decreased to 60’s to 70’s with relatively no spikes at all. My blood pressure has remained steady. I call it a win.

Whenever I read about any new possible treatments for my multiple Long COVID symptoms, I have always brought them to my doc’s attention for consideration. They may not be aware of them, and they usually are appreciative of the information even if they don’t think it would apply to me.

I wish you the best in caring for yourself through this. It is such a challenge but you have a wide community of support faced with the same. Blessings! You are not alone.
