Summary
Otter 44179 developed long COVID with supraventricular tachycardia and post-exertional malaise. A low dose of metoprolol helped the SVT without side effects but did not touch the PEM. While on a Zepbound study, both the PEM and the SVT improved dramatically. They had also taken the asthma drug Singulair for about a decade, which raised heart rate but was never a problem for them.

Their words about each treatment
- Metoprolol · Helped
am on Metoprolol- low dose, it helps and I don't see side effects. I have PEM and it didn't help that.
In context ↗ - Zepbound · Helped a lot
I'm on the Zepbound study and it dramatically improved PEM and SVT
In context ↗ - Singulair · Not said
Singulair is an asthma medication-I've been on it for maybe a decade- it raises heart rate like most asthma meds, but that was never an issue for me.
