In their words
- At worst: Mild
I have days I can go absolutely insane in the gym and then days where just walking up the stairs at home gets my heart racing.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
Been on a keto/carnivore diet (anti inflammatory) for a couple years now and it’s helped a lot. Still get flare ups of the reflux here and there but isn’t nearly as bad as it used to be.

Summary
They had a COVID-19 infection with two days of fever and mild dizziness. They described palpitations and GERD/reflux; a strict carnivore/keto diet of three years' standing kept the reflux much milder. A beta blocker taken as needed was followed once by aching chest pain of unclear cause. By March 2023 they were still symptomatic; exercise sometimes brought on tachycardia.
