Summary
A Reddit user who had covid in January 2024 developed fatigue, breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations and alcohol intolerance over the following months; these mostly cleared. New neck, jaw and sinus symptoms began around May, after they took up weight lifting, and by October 2024 they reported their symptoms had improved dramatically, with only chest pain on cardio remaining.
