Living with Long COVID: My Diagnosis and Experience

I am Andrea...I have been diagnosed with several medical problems over the past year or so. Each specialist asks if I had covid which I did not but I seem to match the growing group of folks who are long haulers.

Hi, yeah I had Covid last year and since then, I've been diagnosed with multiple medical conditions too. Trying to learn how to manage them all.

yep but I can't even remember being sick. I have been healthy my whole life, oh family high bp but on meds. Suddenly whammo...all these crazy symptoms. No answers from any docs just speculation on long haulers.

exercise induced hypertension. I had controlled high bp all my life from family (whole family) but it got bad whenever I did anything last year. I am 63 but at 60 my 40 year old daughter would say that I had more stamina then she did. All of a sudden I was sweating and out of breathe, tinnitis..constant ringing in my ears. Diagnosed with sleep apnea which I was told was the reason for bp and brain fog...6 months later I am still dragging...not sleeping as many hours but 8 or 9. It's a mess and the docs just send me to a new specialist.
