Summary
They got COVID in March 2020 and stayed a long hauler with nausea, GERD and poor sleep for about six years. Many medications did not help and left side effects, so they stopped taking pills. Physical therapy helped most with fatigue and balance, tilting the bed six inches helped sleep and reflux, and acupuncture cleared the nausea; deep breathing also helped. In recent months they began feeling normal again.

And another thing that helps is becoming a mouth breather to help with nausea. Deep breathing really helps but not through your nose.
