Summary

An athletic 20-year-old man developed heart pounding, chest pressure on standing, brain fog and daily dysrhythmia about 10 months after COVID-19; cardiac tests were normal. Months of supplements (magnesium, zinc, CoQ10, omega-3, B complex, vitamin D) and anxiety medication did nothing. By September 2022 symptoms still eased only when he stopped exercise or sex for one to two weeks and returned within hours of activity, lasting weeks.
