Summary
A Reddit user who developed headaches, brain fog and palpitations after COVID wrote in September 2023 that magnesium glycinate, started about a week earlier, was the only thing that changed their headaches and made their nose run, though they were unsure it would last. They had trouble even going outside without medication, and a Prilosec taken for heartburn left them feeling much worse with a more intense headache.

I took a Prilosec for heartburn to try out the med and got obliterated. ... It even made my headache more intense (frontal pressure).
