When I got covid in January 2022 it really screwed with my heart rate. I am unvaxxed. I felt jittery and very anxious. My Fitbit would just randomly go off buzzing that I had just completed a 150 minute workout, when in reality I was just sitting doing absolutely nothing. I felt like I was in a fog, felt exhausted. My husband had covid, too but it affected him differently. He thought maybe I was just anxious about having covid. I told him that this was different. I told him meditation, yoga, breathing exercises.......nothing was helping. It was difficult to sleep/rest because my heart was just racing.

A few months later I told a male friend of mine about it. He told me that a few months previously he had felt oddly anxious for about a week...it even affected his sleep. That he didn't know why and that it was really weird.
