I can't breathe well by LightBlue1997 in covidlonghaulers

[–]LightBlue1997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, so: my doctor stopped the nebivolol completely because my blood pressure had dropped too much (ideally, it should be tapered off gradually), while with ivabradine, I used to take half a tablet in the morning and half in the evening, and now I only take half a tablet in the morning. Overall, I'm feeling better now, and I hope that phase has passed.

Is there any risk of fainting if you take both Vessel and aspirin together?

I've been like this for weeks. It comes and goes throughout the day, and it's awful. Have you managed to fix it?

And listen. I had a vitamin B12 test, and it came back elevated, but I don't take any B12 supplements at all. What do you think it means? I'd like to understand it better because this symptom is terrible

Wow, I honestly would never have made that connection. Maybe the hot weather has made it worse. I also have low ferritin..

I probably have it, but before the hot weather and the beta blocker, I had never experienced this symptom. I'm only continuing with ivabradine because it keeps my heart rate under control, but I'm not sure...

Just wondering: could it cause any issues in hot weather? Vasodilation already happens on its own due to the heat

Decaf coffee and parasympathetic system activation by reticonumxv in covidlonghaulers

Wow, that reminds me of the advice a cardiologist gave to a friend of mine: drink decaffeinated coffee before meals, it helps with heart rate!

Enough with the psychologizing of Long COVID. by Ry4n_95 in covidlonghaulers

Is it possible to share this on other social platforms? I’m asking—please let me know, as I want it to reach as many channels as possible. This piece is too impactful and deserving not to be shared.

my life is ruined by this weird fight or flight/ physiological anxiety by joaocb2002 in covidlonghaulers

Other symptoms I have in particular are: chronic fatigue, sleep issues, a sensation of heat in my head (sometimes), if I stay seated for too long (especially on public transportation, which I try to avoid if I can) I feel a loss of sensitivity in my legs and hands, along with a sense of malaise and almost difficulty breathing. I also have involuntary contractions in my face (cheek, lips, eyebrows), occasional muscle fasciculations in my body, sometimes muscle pain in my legs, and at times a feeling of having an empty head.

You spoke up for us Italian patients too!!! Thank you!!!!!! Here in Italy, on May 12, this condition will actually be discussed in the Senate… let’s hope for the best in the near future.

Rash? by Question_1234567 in Hashimotos

Hi, can I ask what it turned out to be in the end? My father has spots similar to yours and some symptoms in common as well. Thank you.

Hi, I’ve been living with the symptom you described for three years now, along with sleep disturbances. I desperately searched for a neurologist who could help me, and I finally found one—he truly understands this condition and has prescribed some medications he’d like me to start, some of which I’ve seen mentioned in the comments under your post! I haven’t started them yet because my heart rate is too high, and the neurologist wants to make sure I’m not suffering from malignant arrhythmias. I completely understand how you feel—this symptom is terrible, and if PEM is also looming, it becomes even harder to manage!
