I don't have #POTS anymore 🥲
My resting HR is around 45-50. When I stand up heart rate increase for 10-20 beats and then settles down again. I put really hard work in last few weeks to recover. #LongCovid #dysautonomia

@agy_lena Trzymaj się 🫂

The Guardian: "Long Covid causes changes in body that make exercise debilitating – study"

"Experts say severe muscle damage, mitochondrial problems and microclots may explain impact of working out"

@j_b_kennedy It's a hard day for me today

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@boerscht @Dr_B_Hohberger Good luck 👊

Is #LongCovid a "real thing," #MedTwitter? I'll let you decide.

Here's my own case: I'm a cardiologist(40s) with no prior medical Hx & have run tons of marathons & several 1/2 Ironman Tris.

In March '20, I fell ill and became quickly hypoxic and confused. It was COVID-19. 1/

@Bradgolf1216 Most of the time I don't feel POTS but still I have it (heart rate 80-90 upon standing)

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@SawyerBlatz I got #POTS symptoms during acute infection.

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@gezmedinger I think cryotherapy and ice baths helped me.

We gotta remember that anxiety/panic attacks may have physiological causes (blood flow??)

Often over the last 3yrs with #longcovid I’d wake up suddenly at night feeling very anxious

I had no reason to. But it was like my body was anxious rather than my mind- if that makes sense

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@seeksboston26mi Be strong!

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@chasexdrew23 Take care, Drew. Wish you full and speedy recovery! 👊

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@Bradgolf1216 I think highly sensitive people can be predisposed to nervous system dysfunction.

Dear all doctors

Your long covid patients have not recovered, they have just given up making appointments.

They are suffering at home in silence. Don’t think they are doing ok just because you haven’t seen them for a long time.

#LongCovid

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@agy_lena I was in the best shape of my life 🙄

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@Benshi_11 Not anymore

[MatiBela @matekbela]

For the last two months I have been running, cycling and climbing the Alps in Switzerland and France. I still have #dystautonomia and #POTS from #LongCovid but I feel well enough to return to the activities I love.

[MatiBela @matekbela]

Emilia Brangefält was very talented young professional athlete. In the last few months she was delaying with #dysautonomia #POTS. Unfortunately she decided to take her own life. It touched me very deeply because as an athelte I know what she was going through.

[MatiBela @matekbela]

@stopnwo33 Gdzie tu jest napisane, że została odesłana z kwitkiem od psychiatry?! Emilia zmagała się z dysautonomią i zespołem POTS.
