Summary
A woman with pre-existing POTS caught COVID and had horrible long-hauler symptoms for over a year, including shingles; COVID made her POTS much worse. She was diagnosed but offered only a beta blocker for her heart rate, and NAC exacerbated everything. She had no flares from October 2022, before her pregnancy, until a recent POTS flare with vertigo and dizziness in early 2024, when she was still ill and caring for a baby.
