Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID had a stellate ganglion block about a week before November 7, 2022, costing $750 for both sides. They reported it helped their dysautonomia, POTS and anxiety, with a significant reduction in overall anxiety and no panic attacks since. They said it was too soon to claim 100% but felt calmer and thought it would help them heal.
