Summary
A 21-year-old developed long COVID after an omicron infection in January 2022, with daily chest pain, palpitations, dark thoughts and health anxiety, and never felt like themselves. Over 14 months sleep and symptoms slowly improved, though the palpitations and health anxiety remained. By August 2023, 19 months in, they could get through work and see friends for a couple of hours but were still not back to normal.
