Post Covid, night time, shortness of breath and racing heart.

Posted by sweetwater9 @sweetwater9, Jun 16, 2025

I have had Covid several times and the last four times, I have been experiencing night time shortness of breath (SOB) and rapid heart beats. Each time, so far, has lasted three months. Is anyone else experiencing this and if so what has helped eliminate these symptoms?

I had the same problem. After I finally went to the ER, two months of diarrhea had just about killed me, and the doctor recommended Pedialyte for the hydration. What I found, though, is that 15 minutes after drinking some, my heart settled down. Every time. My heart needed the electrolytes. Gatorade Water works too, but not as well. I used that every day for 7 months before I finally don't need it anymore. It never failed to work.
