Summary
Marcos, 19, in Spain, caught COVID-19 in July 2021 and a month later was still fatigued, lightheaded on walking, with headaches, tinnitus, a racing pulse on stairs and anxiety about developing ME/CFS. He could still walk but tired easily, and vitamin C, D, zinc, B6 and B12 had not improved things greatly. In a later comment he suggested talking with a therapist might bring comfort.
