Summary
A doctor who developed inappropriate sinus tachycardia, dysautonomia, pericarditis and long COVID after a COVID infection, with lingering cognitive issues and choking when drinking water fast. After a long course of prednisone, gradual exercise and a whole-foods plant-based diet they got back to normal and started playing pickleball. A week after a Moderna booster their heart rate felt quick to rise with minimal activity, and they hoped it would settle.

Hover or tap a point. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
