I have had covid twice... Once at the beginning, then again this past March... Also had the third shot in November of 21... The trouble swallowing started in early spring, then the panic/shortness of breath started in June... The fight or flight hits randomly when I'm driving or eating. It's been horrible. Good luck getting a Dr to help if you're suffering from the same thing. It sucks... I've just learned to gorge on food on days I can eat and drink protein shakes on the days I can't. Sadly, alcohol improves symptoms but comes with all the other crap. Good luck folks!
@@jessemendoza2991 I haven’t been able to start it yet because you have to have a prescription from the company I ordered from(which you can get online). I ordered from gammacore and put my reasoning as headaches because I suffer from those too. I’m on month 11. Miserable, doctors don’t listen. From the studies I’ve read, vagus nerve stimulation is good for a slew of things. You can definitely order a cheaper one than I did and do a trial run. Praying for a miracle. Good luck on your healing journey.
@@lindseys8039 yeah you're not alone I'm dealing with this issue as well. The good news is it heals, the bad news it takes forever. When I first had problems I had heart palpitations and terrible acid reflux/gastroparisis. A year later I just have acid reflux/gastroparesis (which is still pretty bad) but the heart palpitations went away. I don't know your stance on the vax but I get it every winter because I know a bad covid case will send me back to the heart palpitations and worsening symptoms. Even though I know the vax may interfere with the vegus nerve. It's paramount to mitigate any future infections. Even if it means making the symptoms temporarly worse with the vaccine.
Long hauler for 2 years here is what has helped me. Benadryl ans sip of pepto every 3 nights. B(neopathy) and c(skervy) vitamins. Potassium food and drink. Anti-inflammatory herbs/spices. Cold ease as daily vitamin. Yogurt. Lots of exercise. Sunlight
@@Tacoman1967 turmeric for inflammation is fat soluble. Black pepper has a absorption property like vitamin c. Lemmon water helps hydration without sugar. Sunlight helps with melatonin which is good for more than just sleep. For gut health mix it up with sour cream, yogurt, probiotics,, sip of pesto bismuth and do research on other stuff to have a health gut at night
Vedicinals 9, NMN (for fatigue) and NAC for breathing have helped some. Trying out Dolphin Neurostim for the breathing to see if I can get my breathing back to normal.
36 years old male, and i am ill over a year. I am living hell. And it isn't about the respiratory system. Before covid i had gi issues like ibs flatulence etc.. but i could live with them. After covid it is like my GI problems started to have their own neurological problems. Involuntarily swallowing (!) started. My tongue and jaw started to loosen. It is unseen. I felt like there was a tremor and tension through my throat-esophagus track. After losing 15 pounds, 3-4 weeks later i got little better and gained my appetite, but then i spit light red blood with stomachache and throatache. I did endoscopy immediately but they didn't find anything. Then everything got worse. I lost my appetite for good over a year. I am experiencing a worsening throatache that no ENT professors can detect with camera. I have examined by over 60 professors. Gastroenterologists, ENT Professors, Neurologists etc.. i did blood tests, endoscopies, colonoscopy, CTs, MRs even EMGs. Throat pain is killing me. Loss of appetite, fatigue.. these are also challenging. I have other symptoms but i dont know how can i bare this throat pain. Gabapentine isn't working. Diclofenac isn't working. They can not tell any reason other than long covid.

@@carmella88 sorry for taking so long to respond. I only recently started using the Dolphin VNS (first vagus nerve stim device approved by Health Canada. I have shortness of breath when doing cardio, particularly running. Before pandemic, I could run like 90 min and i was a new runner (only 6 months running). Something happened after visiting US in Feb. 2020 and my life changed. I got fatigued and I noticed it was very hard to run. My stamina got worse and worse, eventually even 10 min of running was a struggle. I didn't have typical Covid symptoms. Had lots of tests, doctors couldn't find anything. Given lots of asthma meds, tried multibaric oxygen treatment, nothing helped. About 4 days ago started using vagus nerve stimulator and a few hours ago was running close to 20 min. I'm excited and hopeful. I wonder where I will be a few months from now using this daily.
