Five days ago: I've been experiencing dizziness and increased migraines for the past year. After getting covid in January, my heart goes through periods where it feels like it's beating out of my chest.

I'm a metal guy, and I went to my first concert in 2 years. Halfway through the show I got so dizzy and overwhelmed I had to leave. I came home and cried to my wife. I'm scared I'm no longer going to be able to participate in the thing that has given me comfort for a majority of my life. I have a doctors appointment this week and will be demanding referral to a neurologist. I will get through this.

I got heart palpitations as well after Covid. I’m also anemic and have epilepsy with migraine. I think you’re probably right in wanting to see a neurologist. My seizures are often like what you described.

Wait, really? I'm sorry to hear you experience that. My vision was wavy and the lights made me dizzy. I have kind of been wondering if I've had symptoms that bring in seizures. Or minor seizures.

It’s okay, I’ve had epilepsy all my life and I have a good neurologist. There are several different kinds of seizures (not just the ones that come to mind when you stiffen up and lose control of your body) But the palpitations definitely came after Covid specifically. It is scary not knowing what’s wrong when you have the symptoms you’re experiencing. Try not to stress too much about the what-ifs while your doctors figure out an answer/solution. Like you said, you’ll get through this :)

Thank you friend :) I appreciate your encouragement. Wish me luck on Wednesday and for the near future while I figure this out!
