Summary
After a fever in April 2021, someone in India developed long COVID with racing heart, palpitations, dizziness, blurry vision and gastritis. PPI treatment that June cleared their symptoms while they took it, but they returned when the medication was reduced; B12 helped some. A first Covishield shot eased palpitations and twitches briefly before a relapse, and by August 2022 they were somewhat better, still with heart pounding and blurry vision.
