I developed dysautonomia (POTS & IST) from COVID back in Jan. It’s a huge adjustment going from a healthy 24yo that ran daily and worked two jobs, to a 25yo that struggles to walk up the stairs without fainting 😭

I'm so sorry to hear that! I already had POTS, but after my COVID infections, it definitely continued to make my symptoms much worse each time. Daily life was harder, not to mention working. Yikes... I can imagine that adjustment would be even harder without having been prepared for some of those symptoms beforehand. My medications have helped me a lot. It's still a struggle, but for the most part, I can function thanks to them. Yes, of course, diet and proper hydration is very important, but it's been huge. I see you also take Propranolol! It can take a bit to find the right dosage, or the right meds in general. (That med isn't for everyone, in the end.) But you'll get there. The long-term sequelae of COVID can be nasty, and are far too often overlooked. But it's being looked into more and more. You've got this!
