Yes, I’m glad to see this topic. I’m somewhat comforted in reading these responses, because now I know that it’s not only me.
I had Covid in January 2021. I was in bad shape for a few weeks, but never hospitalized, oxygen levels always normal, never developed a cough, etc. I definitely feel A LOT better, but not 100%. Most days I feel fine, and I forget I even had it. I will get occasional chest pains/spasms that I never had before. My pulmonologist and cardiologist have run every test on me, and assure me that I am physically fine. They both (along with my primary dr.) think that I have anxiety issues, and may want to eventually seek treatment for that.
You're definitely not alone.  I'm struggling with anxiety issues as well and prior to COVID I've never had anxiety. It's not constant but when I get anxious there is literally no reason for it. It just comes on without warning, some days I can cope and other days I need a Xanax. It's REALLY upsetting, I just want to go back to feeling normal.
There needs to be more discussion about the post COVID issues, particularly those that are neurological in nature. It's crazy to think that a virus can affect anyone neurologically and/or long term. This is not just "any virus" and it's crazy to me that someone would rather gamble with getting it over being vaccinated.
Just putting it out there that the anxiety issues could have been brewing because of being on lockdown for so long and then just exacerbated by the anxiety that people get when they are diagnosed with covid and not knowing how sick you or your family members will get.
By the way, there are also many long term side effects of the chicken pox virus as well as many other serious viruses. This is not the first virus to have serious, long term side effects and at one point there were chicken pox parties to make sure your children got it. Crazy that in less than 40 years we went from chicken pox parties to a required vaccine.
The unique thing about covid is not long term side effects but it's ability to sweep through the global population so quickly and be so lethal.
I am sure the underlying purpose of this thread was to discuss the negative effects and long term issues after having Covid. That was what the majority of people and I am sure the OP wanted to discuss. The question should have been directed at those who are experiencing effects after having Covid.

It's not just the periodic anxiety, it's other things too. All of which started post COVID.
I definitely think covid can be a trigger but not because of any neurological side effects but because you encountered an event that you were led to fear immensely. I think it’s more like PTSD rather than a side effect of covid itself. You should seek the help of a therapist.

Nah, I'm good. Eating right, exercise and engaging in activities that bring you joy does wonders for your mental and physical health.

Really? Because up above you mentioned needing Xanax and being REALLY upset about it and wanting to just go back to feeling normal. Doesn’t sound like you are managing it with just diet, exercise and joyful activities. There is no shame in needing the help of a therapist and it sounds like you are at that point if you are already turning to medication to manage this issue.

A Xanax once in a while is truly no big deal but based on your response I'm going to assume you know very little about managing anxiety issues. I know myself well enough to understand what I need and I'm good, thanks.
ETA - It's upsetting to have to deal with any issues that didn't exist prior to being sick with COVID. As you can see on this thread alone, many agree and are dealing with post COVID issues which are more common than some think.

Yes I am sure dealing with any residual effects from Covid would be upsetting.
As for the Xanax, that would be upsetting for me because I don’t like to take any medication that I don’t absolutely have to. I would prefer to try to work out the underlying issues that are causing the anxiety but to each their own! And actually, you know what they say about making assumptions right?

I don't like taking meds either unless it's absolutely necessary but since this is a once in a while thing I'm not that concerned about it. FYI - Xanax is meant to be a very occasional use medicine as it's VERY tightly REGULATED. It's not an every day or long term solution, it's meant for those who experience occasional anxiety. For persistent anxiety issues there are long term meds available however, that's not what is needed in my case.
As for anxiety, often times there aren't any underlying issues. Many people suffer with a generalized anxiety disorder where there is no root cause to pinpoint and the best one can do outside of medication is to learn how to manage the anxiety. As per multiple doctors, exercise in this case is one of the best medicines and for me, it's been amazing. Exercise in general makes everything better, it clears your head, regulates your body and keeps your mind strong.
Unless you've dealt with any level of anxiety yourself it's best to not make assumptions on how one should handle it. I know many people who suffer with anxiety and honestly, until I experienced it myself FIRSTHAND I definitely didn't understand it the way I thought I did.

Yes I understand the benefits of exercising as I run 20+ miles per week and workout frequently in addition to that. Lol

Re: Question for **ONLY** those who have had COVID
Everyone handles anxiety very differently. So not one person can say do x, y, z and you’ll be good. So please stop. I’m happy if exercise helps you, or if meditation helps another… it’s nice to offer suggestions but please don’t assume. Acupuncture helped me a lot at one point but it’s not for everyone.
I’ve have anxiety and panic disorder from the age of 19. It’s evolved over the years. Sometimes better, sometimes way worse. And each time I learn new ways to deal with it. Therapy helps some. But Xanax is the only answer on the days I can’t open my hands due to contracting muscles. Since Covid , it’s worse. Seems to be physical and mental combined. My BP would go up and I’d feel that and it would turn into panic. I’ve never had high BP in my life but post covid I did (as of last week it seems to be normal ago. Thank god)
I hope anyone dealing with Covid Long Haul symptoms feels better soon. Even if it means we just adjust to our new normal.

HBP can also be attributed to BCP’s. If you take them I would discuss this with your doctor as I had that issue and once off I never had it again.

This response shows that you are completely tone deaf to the conversation. 
Furthermore, you haven't had COVID so I am not sure why you are even posting on here. Go away.

And yes, WW, why would you possibly suggest that anything but covid could have caused her HBP? Everyone knows covid is the cause of everyone’s problems, even if those problems also existed prior to covid.

I’ve have anxiety and panic disorder from the age of 19. It’s evolved over the years. Sometimes better, sometimes way worse. And each time I learn new ways to deal with it. Therapy helps some. But Xanax is the only answer on the days I can’t open my hands due to contracting muscles. Since Covid , it’s worse. Seems to be physical and mental combined. My BP would go up and I’d feel that and it would turn into panic. I’ve never had high BP in my life but post covid I did (as of last week it seems to be normal ago. Thank god)
I hope anyone dealing with Covid Long Haul symptoms feels better soon. Even if it means we just adjust to our new normal.
HBP can also be attributed to BCP’s. If you take them I would discuss this with your doctor as I had that issue and once off I never had it again.
This response shows that you are completely tone deaf to the conversation.
Furthermore, you haven't had COVID so I am not sure why you are even posting on here. Go away.

Honestly, you need to take your immaturity elsewhere. This was a productive conversation about those dealing with post-COVID issues. I am sure NOBODY on this thread is interested in your sad attempt at picking a fight with me for no reason. Unless you have something useful to add, just move along so the conversation can continue.

I haven’t spoken at all as I knew I would get 3 lashes and I actually privately messaged someone else about this. Figured it would be ok to put it out there if it might help someone else.
That is all I will say as I see you were told to move along and you know what that means.
I guess that means no one can post to anything that doesn’t pertain to them, like people who don’t have kids can’t post to anything with kids in the subject, or if you are not married, etc etc.

Why are you commenting on this post??? Did you have COVID? Do you have something to add about YOUR experiences post-COVID? NO - you didn't and you don't. You just couldn't control yourself and not post on this thread. You constantly play doctor on here - advising people about medical issues that you have NO KNOWLEDGE about. You think the people posting about their post-COVID experiences haven't seen their REAL doctors? What is wrong with you. YOU post dangerous, false and misleading information CONSTANTLY - and that is why I go after you. Post something relevant and TRUE (not just because you "heard it out there," or because "a friend of a friend told you", but actually based in FACT) and learn to respect the fact that people see their own doctors and know how to treat their own medical conditions without useless advice from you.

And yes, WW, why would you possibly suggest that anything but covid could have caused her HBP? Everyone knows covid is the cause of everyone’s problems, even if those problems also existed prior to covid.
Because maybe, just maybe, the poster saw their doctor and got actual medical advice and diagnosis from a trained medical professional? And this thread is about those who are post-COVID issues, which the poster indicated she is suffering from. So why would someone come on here and suggest that her Dr. is wrong and her issues could be from something else? Have you examined or treated the poster? I'm guessing that's a big fat no. How about trust the person who has the condition to know what their Dr. said and to handle it accordingly

Re: Question for **ONLY** those who have had COVID
I haven’t had covid or none of my immediate family members, unless we had it asymptomatically which at this point I really believe that might have been the case for most people. But I have a few family members in my extended family that had it, some asymptomatically and only knew about it because of testing due to their job, traveling, etc, and some symptomatically (2 very mild, and 1 hospitalized). None of those family members including the one that was hospitalized are still experiencing symptoms. Thank goodness! I’m not denying at all that certain symptoms might still persist in some people after getting better but we can’t leave out previous health problems. I might be wrong but I think underlining conditions could be the reason why these lingering issues are prolonged. Many people would say...I’m healthy but I have this or that. Well u could be relatively healthy but we can’t forget about these prior health issues when we’re talking about covid or any other virus for that matter and the reason might be because ur immune system is already compromised at some level so it’ll take a bit longer to do its job.

Question for **ONLY** those who have had COVID
The number of doctors and scientists we suddenly have on this board is amazing!
Any "I heard" or "I could be wrong, but..." (see post above!) or "my best friend's second cousin" anecdotes are ridiculous. If you have some FACTS to add to a discussion, great. But the rest it total BS.

4 other people said that never had it but you didn’t attack them, why is that?

Lululu is not telling her what to do, she’s simply making a suggestion, something that everyone does ALL the time. I don’t see nothing wrong with her suggestion about seeing a therapist. I can’t believe seeking professional help is such a taboo topic in our society, still! I even contemplated seeing someone to help me with the stress and anxiety I’ve been dealing with for a couple of years and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. I started meditating because someone suggested that, so why would it be wrong if someone suggested to see a therapist? It’s just another way to deal with the anxiety Hofstra’s experiencing and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
PIP: Large prospective epidemiologic studies have shown that long-term use of oral contraceptives containing estrogen induce an increase in blood pressure and sharply increase the risk of hypertension. Susceptibility to the hypertensive effects of oral contraceptives is heightened where risk factors such as age, family history of hypertension, preexisting or occult renal disease, parity and obesity exist. Hypertension among pill users usually develops within the first 6 months of usage and occasionally is delayed for as long as 6 years. Anitihypertensive therapy is seldom needed as the hypertension that developes is generally mild and uncomplicated, and rapidly reverses when the pills are discontinued. However, a small percentage of patients develop severe, even life-threatening hypertension and the hypertensive effects are felt long after the pills are discontinued. Cases of malignant hypertension and irreversible renal failure requiring maintenance hemodialysis, bilateral nephrectomy, and renal transplantation have occurred following administration of oral contraceptive pills. The mechanism by which oral pills induce hypertension in susceptible women is not known and needs further research. Before oral contraceptives are prescribed, physicians should take a careful history and perform a detailed physicial examination with special attention to the cardiovascular system. Multiple blood pressure measurements should be made and routine laboratory studies including urinalysis, blood urea and nitrogen and serum creatinine should be performed. It is preferable to start with a relatively low (50 mcg) estrogenic content preparation. Patients who develop hypertension (diastolic pressure, 90 mm Hg) on oral contraceptives should stop taking the pills immediately, and should be considered to have estrogen-induced hypertension. They should never again receive estrogen-containing oral pills, although they can try pills containing only progestogen. There is no contraindication to pregnancy in these patients, as most women who become hypertensive on oral pills go on to have normotensive pregnancies. Pregnancy in women who are susceptible to essential hypertension however should be treated as high risk.
