Summary
After COVID-19, Heron 73664 had long COVID for almost two years with cardiac arrhythmia, orthostatic hypotension, neuropathy, paresthesia, visual snow and tinnitus. Copper 2 mg once daily resolved all symptoms except tinnitus, with improvement in a week and symptoms gone in a month. A later zinc supplement brought the arrhythmia back; stopping zinc and taking copper for a week resolved it, and they later reported being PVC-free for almost two years.
