Summary
A 22-year-old woman has had tachycardia and daily chest pain since a vaccination or infection two years earlier. She still works 8-hour shifts on her feet but developed dizziness, breathlessness and stars in her vision, and a recent illness made the symptoms more prominent. She suspects long COVID or POTS, and a cardiologist dismissed her.
