Summary
A r/covidlonghaulers user described long COVID with palpitations that triggered anxiety and felt like a heart attack, plus memory problems such as forgetting why they had walked into a room or how to reach a familiar place. Labs came back in the normal range, so they paid out of pocket to work with a functional practitioner and reported finally getting relief.
