Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers said they developed high blood pressure after Covid, with readings going from about 110-120/65-80 to 130/90 and spiking fast. Brisk walks helped but not extreme; extreme exertion left pressure very high the next day and required about a two-day pause, and medications had no effect on them. They also had a bad experience on the lowest dose of a beta blocker, with a large rebound effect when stopping. At one month and three weeks they were still ill.
