I had some sort of viral infection must be almost three years ago now that gave me an arrhythmia. It comes and goes in severity but I’ve been on beta blockers for a couple of years now and that does seem to keep in in check.
I’ve never been able to get my fitness levels back up to where I was before though, maybe 50%. I’m also still way more tired than I ever was before. It sucks to never really have fully recovered. I feel bad for the long COVID sufferers who sound like they’re in for something similar.
I got heart arrhythmia as a bonus, but lowish dose of Concor, a beta-blocker, took care of that. Fortunately, nothing serious on the heart itself.
I also suffer from some muscle twitching, especially at rest. It is getting better, but very slowly. Accidentally, the cardiologist who got me into a heart clinic for my arrhythmia (a friend) suffers from the same twitching problem after his bout of Covid, but in his case, it is a bigger problem, because he actually performs heart surgeries. I was happy to tell him that a certain over-the-counter medication reduced my twiching problem. It helped him as well.
Perhaps there is something that can help you with your shortness of breath. Do not give up the search for possible solutions.
