Did you ever find out what it is? I am experiencing the same symptoms and am a D1 swimmer.

No, I never did and It's been more than 10 years since the problem started, I've basically resigned myself to not figuring it out.

I'm just this guy ya know?

What kinda of things did you do to try to solve the problem? Did you see a cardiologist, doctor, etc. Or take any supplements that helped?

Necro-bump here. Background is still in the thread.

Still working on this. I convinced a doctor to try me on some fludrocortisone and I had some relief for the first few days, but then it seemed to fade. In the past, I’ve had relief (longer term, months) from steroid injections. Still unable to figure out what this is, and most doctors are no help.

Because I’ve had DM’s about this in the past, I’m in the military and my job is very important to me. My life revolves around it. I’ve spent over $10k out of pocket because military healthcare (generally) is not good.

I’m still desperate for help as I’d like to take my career to the next level. My next career goal has another screening process and I need to square this away to screen.

Long Covid? Convince a doc for a Paxlovid course? It can present like that. BIL as a non athletic lifter had it look like this. Ymmv. Not a doc. Stayed at a Hol Inn Exp last night.

Unfortunately this started 2 years or so before Covid 19. Been struggling with this for a while.

Every now and then I make desperation posts on here.

Occasional desperation post here. Still looking for anything that anyone similar has experienced. Currently wearing a 14 day halter monitor.

Off of all supplements and meds.

The fludrocortisone (.1mg every other day) is the only thing that I’ve convinced a doctor to try that has put a dent in it. Also doing 2 x 24 hour urine collections.

For anyone joining the conversation late, it started years before Covid.
