Summary
A 22-year-old college lacrosse player developed a fast heart rate, chest pains and body aches in March, which were first labelled anxiety; he described his old life as gone and some days as frightening. He was starting a low histamine diet and credited being back on a schedule and doing what he could with helping him a lot, and said in May 2023 that there would be good and bad days.
