Summary
Caught COVID in August 2021; during the infection they had severe panic attacks that took them to the ER, and for about three months afterward had severe insomnia, high blood pressure, anxiety and tingling in the left arm on exertion. They credit a diet of less processed food, 30 minutes of exercise a day and, most of all, stress-targeting supplements; after treating stress exclusively, everything improved within 3-4 days. They said they had been 100% better since November 2021 and that it was all gone by February 2022.
