Summary
A person with long COVID developed cardiomyopathy several months after their initial infection and had had a TIA. They tried Zyrtec, Benadryl and Pepcid AC for symptom relief, noticing no difference apart from a reduction in reflux, and several beta blockers, which they did not respond well to. They continued calcium channel blockers twice daily for blood pressure control.
