Summary
In early February 2020 the Reddit user woke with constant vertigo, ear fullness and tinnitus that has persisted every day since; doctors found nothing and no cause was identified. They wondered whether an unnoticed COVID-19 infection was behind it. A COVID-19 infection in June 2022 heightened the vertigo a little, and a month later most acute symptoms had cleared, though bloating and constipation remained.
