Summary
Greg was 20 in 2020 when COVID in August left him ill for a day, followed two weeks later by tachycardia, body aches, brain fog, breathlessness, panic attacks and hair loss. Symptoms came in waves and improved by February 2021, leaving only a less bothersome tachycardia; he recommended taurine and B vitamins and tried vitamin C and green tea extract. A new constant awareness of his heartbeat in May 2021 eased after fasting.
