Summary
A UK-based person who had an AstraZeneca vaccination and, in December 2021, a Moderna booster caught COVID in late January 2022. Three weeks later they reported dizziness, brain fog, constant head pressure, what they thought was an ocular migraine that briefly affected their sight, chest pain and low mood. They were taking NAC, vitamin D, 5HTP and sometimes ashwagandha, which they said helped only slightly, and were unsure whether their illness was long COVID.
