The symptoms of my Long Covid are chronic fatigue, dizziness/vertigo, nausea and insomnia.

The chronic fatigue is not as bad as it was but I still get fatigued even after the most minimal of physical exertion. They call it "post exertion malaise."

The nausea has almost but all disappeared but I can only eat the most bland of foods, nothing even remotely spicy. As such items like sausages, mexican food, spicy tomato products, etc, are out of a question.

The dizziness/vertigo are still something I have to watch for, but the insomnia is still a huge problem. I can only sleep if I medicate myself to do so and I hate doing that, but it's the only way.

So I basically sit around the house almost all day. I have to be careful when traveling, even to the store, because if I get dizzy I have to pull over until it passes, and my doctor says it will be a cause for concern for the foreseeable future.

So as you can see, if I can find that "magic pill" I'd be all over it. But I don't want to get scammed either.

Malfunctioning vagus nerve can cause those issues you describe. Fixing it remains a mystery and requires trial and error.

I have an oura ring that measures heart rate variabilty. Humming definitely makes a difference as does putting a homedic massager on the back of my neck..chest etc. There is no easy fix if vagus nerve is the problem. I was prescribed beta blockers but turns out i have genetic drug toxicty issues with them.If you have insurance and have met your deductible you can ask for a tilt table test.

You may have Menier’s syndrome. It is an infection of the inner ear caused by plasmosis, I think it’s an airborne fungus. I knew a woman who got it from being near where bats live, and another guy got scratched by a cat and had it for years. He was kind of old.
