I don’t know if I had Covid and this is a result of it?

it’s affecting my school work and just my overall days
In context ↗ - Now: No benefit
I haven’t really gotten any relief since it started about 3 weeks ago :(
In context ↗ - Began after: another virus
I had a cold and fever for about maybe just 2 days? Ever since then I have been lightheaded, dissociated, and just out of it!

Summary
After a two-day cold and fever, this person developed constant lightheadedness, dissociation and feeling out of it and was unsure whether COVID was the cause. Three weeks on there was no relief: a CT scan, blood work and an EKG were clear, their doctor attributed it to anxiety and started lexapro, which had not yet helped. School work was affected.
