Summary
A Reddit user in a long COVID forum developed high blood pressure, stomach trouble that stopped them eating, and a heart rate over 100 when sitting. A doctor started 25 mg losartan and 20 mg propranolol; three daily propranolol dropped their heart rate to the low 40s, so they took it as needed instead. Off it their heart rate jumped over 100 sitting, with dizzy panic attacks, and stopping abruptly brought rebound effects worse than anything they had faced.
