Symptom narrative

It was similar to what happened in 2021 after a bad case of Covid. About 2 or so weeks after the shot, I started having brain stem, neck, and spinal cord pain. I have a blown disc and 2 bulging discs and we thought it may be that so I went back to phy. therapy. Things were only getting worse. About a week later around 10/25, I had one of the worst headaches ever (similar to the ones I had in 2021) About a week after that, I started having severe brain fog. So bad my boss recommended that I go on medical leave. I went to see my orthopedic surgeon and he said absolutely nothing had changed and he thought something else may be going on. My balance was out of whack, severe headaches, neck aches, and pain below the skull up inside sort of near the brain stem. Once the brain fog began, my pre-frontal cortex was definitely out of whack. Severe mood swings, uncontrollable anger, memory problems....then a few weeks after that I started having palpitations and racing heart any time I'd stand up..similar to 2021. Dr. believes it's all POTS related and that possibly the vaccine flared everything back up

Current illness

Long Covid Since 2021 but we felt (Doctor and I) that I had been in remission. I have dysautonomia, small fiber neuropathy, and POTS from Covid. He thinks the vaccine flared all of this back up.

Medical history

prior to long covid, nothing. Only Depression and mild anxiety but that had been controlled for the better part of 20 years with Zoloft, effexor, and Hydroxyzine.

Other medications

Zoloft, Effexor, Hydroxyzine, Klonopin, Gabapentin, Vitamin D,

Allergies

Lab data

Please contact Dr. I did the NASA POTS testing here at the house using BP monitor and HR monitor. My heart rate jumped approximately 40 bpm from lying down to standing up. For blood work etc I'd contact the Doctor.
