Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID and POTS-like symptoms had been on weekly allergy shots for a little over a year, with the dose raised most weeks. While the dose was held steady for three weeks awaiting new vials they had little to no symptoms, and they returned when the new vials arrived and the increases resumed. They wondered whether the shots were triggering a histamine response and considered pausing the dosage, though their doctors doubted it.

I’m wondering if they could be exacerbating my POTS-like symptoms ... I’m considering pausing my dosage again for a few weeks to test out the theory
