Summary
Hill 66979 developed long COVID after a June 2022 infection, with months of brain fog, chest pain and heart-rate problems. Brain fog improved about 95% over a few months and resting heart rate later normalized, though a booster and a 24-hour episode in January 2024 caused heart-rate spikes and chest pain. By August 2024 they called the long COVID mild and largely resolved, but PMS still brought headaches, sinus pressure and minor brain fog, and allergies were worse.
