Summary
A Reddit user's suspected long-COVID symptoms started in May, after a COVID-19 infection in February 2023: palpitations, chest and joint pain, breathlessness, dizziness and panic attacks. A beta blocker helped only the heart rate. They added water, magnesium, vitamin D3, B12, an anxiety medication and raw vegetables with mustard, and said the diet change helped quite a bit. A kayak trip and three-mile hike left them in pain and fatigued.
