Anyone else experience Weight Gain with long COVID?

Yes. I thought initially that my long haul Covid issues were severe allergies. Every symptom fit until I developed tachycardia and high blood pressure (allergies usually make blood pressure go down, not up ). I was finally tested and have ZERO food or environmental allergies here. Took me some time to digest the results because my symptoms were so very classic to allergies. I was taking the limit (or probably beyond) of allergy meds (OTC). I think the antihistamines increased my hunger and decreased my metabolism (both are known but I wasn’t aware). I gained fifteen in two month’s time. Now I have asthma (cardiac workup came back clean) and need to get lung function test and CT of lungs. Have tests scheduled, but just took a downturn again (the ebb and flow of this disease is real) and probably won’t make it to testing for now. I did have puritus and a pretty severe MCA (?) rash on my neck which necessitated a different diet and intense excema around my eyes (anything fermented would send me over the top with both). And when I was so sick, I didn’t get my regular level of exercise that I enjoy daily. Thankfully, these symptoms have disappeared.
I’ve been too sick to be depressed about the weight gain yet, but it is just one more box on the list of long Covid symptoms.

Sounds like u r putting putting on muscle while the fat is disappearing. I'm walking up to 15 minutes per time 2 to 3 times per day to get in 45 minutes. I seem to be losing weight and hope that's the cause. Cancer runs in my father's side of the family so I need to be checked for that.

I agree yaya...after years of inability to move much, I can now do more. Nothing like I could before but it is better. I am going to try weights next to see if I can build more muscle which will burn more calories. Will start very slowly so I don't experience the dreaded post exercise malaise!
