Summary
A Reddit user with ME/CFS and long COVID symptoms, who also has POTS and ADHD, reported that taking guanfacine and NAC every day was helpful for their ADHD, ME/CFS and lingering LC symptoms. They also described something in the mornings that came with shortness of breath, a constricted chest and heart palpitations, which they linked to POTS and eased by hydrating heavily and lying flat.
