Summary
After a third covid infection in 2022, they developed insomnia so severe they had not slept for 36 hours, which made them panic; other symptoms were mild, including sore throat and runny nose. Xanax, metoprolol, chamomile tea and contrast showers brought no relief. They had tachycardia before covid and were considering ketotifen or ivermectin for sleep.
