Summary
A 21-year-old former professional athlete had his first tachycardia in summer 2022, then blood pressure spikes, a 45-minute attack at a cinema that led him to hospital, and brief right-sided paralysis and tingling. Doctors called it anxiety and prescribed antidepressants; he took ashwagandha. He had COVID four times and no vaccine. He hadn't had an attack like that in a couple of months, though he had odd head sensations and his BP last week was 140/70-80.
