I seem to be getting worse every day. I'm almost bedridden now. I have all the symptoms you can think of when it comes to long Covid and now the anxiety is through the roof. At this point I don't know what to do. I've tried everything and been seen by every specialist you can think of with no improvements whatsoever. I'm feeling this could be my last post and I'm nearly passing out now just sitting here. I hope they find a cure for this crap for the remaining people dealing with this crap.

I wake up every day and feel like I'm having a hard time being able to breathe. I'm not panicking or having anxiety or racing thoughts. I just feel like in my stomach I can't breathe but and my heart rate is fine along with my oxygen saturation is 98-99 sometimes. It's the feeling of catching your breath when someone punches you in the stomach but it's constant. Anyone else dealing with this crap.

Should I try this? The side effects freak me out and I'm just barely holding it together as it is but so desperate to feel better and have more energy. Long Covid has been horrible for 3 years now.

No matter how much rest I get I'm so physically exhausted I feel like I'm dieing and it scares the hell out of me. Does anyone know anything that helped them. I've never felt so defeated in my life.

Oxygen saturation is 98 % and heart rate BPM is 72 but still having a hard time breathing like pressure in center of chest like a chest cold and stomach nauseous. Any ideas?

Does anyone else having problems breathing through their nose even though they are not stuffed with mucus but more of the nostrils feeling inflamed? Driving me crazy just breathing out my mouth.

Ended up wearing a heart monitor and doctor called me with results. Apparently lower heart chamber speeding up and slowing down all day doing nothing even I'm sleeping. They thought it was just anxiety even after I told them I've never had anxiety in my life and this all started shortly after having COVID for a second time. Sending me to cardiologist and stress test next week. This is the first time my PCP has called me personally in almost 3 years since this crap started.

I doubt I'll be able to sleep tonight, already stressing about stress test. I have to be there at 7:30 and my morning anxiety is so bad as soon as I open my eyes and they said not to take my morning Propanolol. I'll be surprised if I make it there.

Yes so I get there on time which is hard for me in the morning cause that's when my heart rate and anxiety is at it's worse and I go to check in and they tell me it was cancelled due to insurance and said they called me and left a message which I know for a fact they didn't, now my anxiety is through the cause I have to argue with my health insurance and find out why or appeal it. Waited a month for this appointment.

Up until 3 years ago I was perfectly happy and healthy and living a great life, very active working going to gym 3-4 times a week lifting weights and run 3 miles after workouts,no bad habits. All that changed shortly after having COVID for a second time which really didn't make me feel that sick just a mild flu and after two days I felt fine. Within a month I started having issues like chronic fatigue, digestive problems, high heart rate, nervous system shaking and tremors, headaches and feelings of food poisoning. Mind you before this I was 229 lbs in bodybuilder athletic shape and I ended up losing 70 lbs and all my muscle tone and dropped down to 158 lbs in less than 10 months and can barely take out the garbage without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack. I have been to the doctors and found out I was having malabsorption problems and my anxiety was through the roof and I just feel tired and sick all the time and my stress levels are 0. Doctor tried me on Lexapro first and then Zoloft which both made me so much worse I thought I was going to die. I've been to therapy as much as I can and taking Propanolol which helps with the heart rate and now after dealing with this crap for 3 years my wife has left after 35 years of marriage because of my situation which I can't believe after I have taken care of our family and mine and her side of family during our marriage. My anxiety has tripled. It's not like I haven't been trying to get help and went to every doctor's and therapy appointment and even was in a long Covid study program which they think Covid disregulated my system cause they have many once normal patients have had the same thing happened to them. I've been in athletic shape my whole life and at 55 years old people thought I was in my 30s and now 3 years later I feel like I'm in my late 70s. After wife leaving I don't know where to go or what to do from here and I really love her and needed her help. So much for in sickness and in health.

Title says it all she's gone, funny after 35 years of me being normal taking care of our family, my family and her side of family it only took her 3 years of my health anxiety from being messed up from COVID for her to call it quits. What now?
