Summary
A Reddit user who experienced post-Covid symptoms that were written off as anxiety, though they had had anxiety and panic attacks all their life. The severe episodes eased after more than a month, but they were still not normal. Their doctor thinks Covid brought on thyroiditis; a few weeks of thyroid medication returned thyroid levels to normal, though antibodies remained.
