I watched this video yesterday and this morning started salting and has changed my life! I have been miserable literally with severe brain fatigue that was impairing. Been taking supplements for past year and nothing help but salting. I’m incredible grateful 😊you have no idea how my life has changed.
Dr. Boon was the only individual able to explain why we get tachycardia in the context of long COVID and dysautonomia. Doctors in general have no clue what’s going on with respect to long COVID. Thank you so much.
I dug out my blood pressure monitor and was amazed to find I was borderline low. 94/55. One hour after a tsp of salt in a litre of water I was 108/64. I'm a convert to salting / gratitude breathing / cold showers! Thank you.
I am blown away by this video. For months my husband and I have had long covid. We took the meds we were told when we had covid which were told this would prevent long covid. Been to the hospital, had work ups, paid lots of money but no one can tell us what is happening. We have to find our disease on the internet and cure ourselves. Thank you so much.
I'm generally very impressed with advice offered by Dr Boon, however, I found that in this video there wasn't enough caution expressed about dangers of exercise for those with LC who meet the diagnosis for ME/CFS. In this case, the cardinal defining symptom is PESE, (post exertion symptom exacerbation) that can occur up to 48 hours after even minimal exertion in some patients. There are enough patients with post-viral ME who have been made long term bed bound by trying to follow an exercise program. In such patients pacing and rest is extremely important with a much more cautious approach to increasing activity, dropping back down if symptoms increase. Please see pulmonary exercise testing by the Workwell foundation in the US for more information. The Bateman Horne Centre is also a good resource
Hi! We've reached out to Dr Boon and here's his response: Resting, recovering, and pacing are key to recovery. Agree don't push hard, particularly when it causes one to take 2 steps back for every one forward.
Dr boon please please please work out who has ME....dont damage patients like I was in 1993 damage for 32 years continuing ! I trust nobody because they don't understand ..my autonomic nervous system is all sympathetic parasympathetic nervous does not work at all it's damaged full stop ! I get the breathing .. I been in fight or flight for 32 years 😊 😅
Fermented food and others..are high histamine food, Some ppl developed asthma, allergies , MCAS after long haul.. So my suggestion..ppl be careful with fermented and other types of high histamine food.
Thank you Dr. Boon, I had dysautomina since August last year, I basically recovered from may till September this year, however, due to some stress I gone through in October and it returned, I feel better than when it first happened because the worst thing was you don’t know why and it’s quite frightening.
I have dysautonomia from LC but I get exhausted from the cold shower. I don’t find relief from the shock as I have trouble warming up after the cold shower. The same with walking in cold weather. I try to ignore and listen to music or breathe but I find my stress and is very high. Opposite with sauna or being out on a 90 degree day. I find joy. Perhaps it’s my hypothyroidism that makes me miserable during and after cold showers and walks. Pacing and rest has helped. Salt, hydration and my Lululemon leggings helped. Floor stretches, breath work and core exercises kept my body free of tension and pain. I was still unable to stand longer than 10 minutes without feeling lightheaded and weak and my chiro did some bloodwork. Results showed high TSH, low magnesium, low vitamin B (although I was taking it) and low CoQ10. Started taking magnesium, CoQ10 and a methylated vitamin B as I have the MTHFR gene (can’t convert folate) and within a month I felt much better and was able to stand longer, walk, go to yoga classes and use an infrared sauna. I was so excited that I think I forgot about pacing and did too many of these things, despite having stressful work and triggering emotional events. I’m back to doing a bit less.
Many people that had covid were diagnosed with SIBO ( Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth ) which can cause , fatigue, brain fog and aching. I was diagnosed with that too after my doctor suggested a breath test for that and it was positive! Once the bacteria is reduced many long covid symptoms get better. Usually antibiotics are used to reduce the bad bacteria. But its important after treatment to take probiotics as antibiotics destroy good and bad bacteria. The alternative is natural antibiotics supplements , like oregano, berberine, cloves, garlic supplements in combo . Vitamin B1 deficiency can help many too and be the root cause of many gut symptoms or neurological symptoms linked to long COVID.
❤ I’m really impressed!!! So well structured, so well explained, so informative, and super mindful. Thanks God my Doctors in Germany 🙈did know nothing about Long Covid, so I had to find out for myself how I can support myself and how to cope with the annoying breathlessness as an asthmatic after the 2nd Infection that was 3 months ago from now on. SO I found you Dr. Boon, you give me hope and a plan that all will work out. You both are amazing and everyone that suffers of Long Covid should know this video! Thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Wow! I have been dealing with pacs for a little over a year and experimenting with what I eat and different supplements. Starting the day with potassium and an essential minerals capsule seems to help but still occasional periods of breathlessness with very little exercise and pacs with more intense. I have recently realized that eating salty nuts helps so decided to try baking soda in water. I will definitely be trying more of your recommendations. I don't know if I had covid but I had 2 weeks of very mild symptoms right before it all started. I had 2 shots of Moderna when it came out and felt pretty bad for 24 to 36 hours. Also had a flare-up of fibrocystic breast after the 2nd shot. I will not be getting any more shots! I am 73, fairly active (the pacs definitely get i my way!) and am in the US. Thank you so much for doing this video. I found it around 2 am. Wide awake! 😳 I'm going to pass it on. ❤👍🏻
Hi, I watched this video last night and today went in the sea for two short swims. The cold shock has definitely done something for the feeling of blood pooling down into my feet and calves I've been having since Covid. Going to keep this up. Thank you!
I have post-Covid vaccine sequel and I’ve done a lot of these things and it helps. Low dose naltrexone and IVIg as well. I agree with the standing yoga not being helpful and pacing, breathing and salt being helpful. Interestingly I got altitude sickness recently and when I got back to sea level, I got so much better! I’m in the Nath study for neurological jab injury at NIH. Good luck everyone!
You need to treat inflammation. I had terrible fatigue, brain fog, memory cognitive issues after covid. I'm Still recuperating. New doctor treated me with I meg solumedrol IV steroid. Within hours of treatment the pressure I felt on top of my head lifted. Several days later I could think clearer my short term memory lapses improving. My fatigue also is much better. I nap once or twice a week once a day. Not every day twice or three times. Why do doctors ignore treating brain inflammation. It is documented on MRI scans. They know it's there but don't treat it. I thank God I finally found a doctor who treated it. Look for doctors who will give corticosteroids to treat long term covid inflammation. This is what causes long covid!
There's so much advice for POTS but none for hypeadrenergic patients. Despite years of trying combinations and finally settling on 4 medications that helped my high BP - a beta blocker that took forever to find one I could tolerate, irbesartin and both a potassium sparing and potasium wasting diuretics, my P is completely out of control since two bouts of covid.
Long covid has caused my blood pressure to be unstable. My readings can be low, high, or normal. The same problems I'm experiencing with my heart rate. Both were normal prior to covid.
Thank you Dr. Boon , very interesting video. I was born in KL, and studied medicine at Westminster Hospital, now working part time in Bahamas, but attended lots of meetings at RSM in London and Hammersmith . Enjoyed your video on long covid and about dysautonomia. I saw lots of covid and a few “ long covid” Dr Richard Van Tooren
@@sandrabentley8111that’s a lie. Less than a week after my second shot is when my symptoms started-racing heart and shortness of breath. It’s been almost 4 years and although my symptoms aren’t as bad, they’re still very much present on a daily basis and it has adversely affected my quality of life and outlook on the future.
Andy Galpin's discussions of hydration sound a bit similar to here - refreshing to finally hear hydration talked about in terms of more than just dihydrogen monoxide, an intriguing substance though it might be.
My symptoms get worse in the cold. I generally feel better in the heat. I also feel worse laying rather than standing. I do have a very low salt diet. I’ll still give extra salt a go. I find I need to hyperventilate to get my self going rather than relaxing.
Electrolytes balanced. No sugar. Ben Lynch Seeking Health website has no sugared just powdered, electrolytes. They saved me while researching. Still recuperating. Many other drs online helping to find answers. NAC helps lungs also. D3K2, always together. Vitamin C, liposomal if possible. Vit E. All four kinds. Quercitin. B’s not the synthetic kind. Especially B12, B1, niacin. Dr Eric Berg. Dr Osborne on UA-cam. Research as many as you can. Get the big picture of the body’s functions. Ben Lynch. Teaches genetics also, since this affects some of us differently. God luck.
Personally I didn't have to do the salt intake I still drink my coffee and everything like that I just focused on my breath and improving my meditation practice and that's what happened I finally got better my quality of life has changed in the way where I'm more happier of just being now I practice gratitude like doctor was saying and I drink water once in awhile but I've gotten myself to dancing again but I do take breaks and I make sure that I don't overdo it
How about high inflammation and cytoklines? I have the same high inflammation numbers even though I have never had covid. I was diagnosed with late stage lyme and now ME/CFS. Doctors ignore high inflammation when in fact I wonder if it may be one of the factors contributing to staying sick.
Thanks for the educational video. I'm not buying that deconditioning theory. I have been in the best shape of my life when covid hit me, and within about a week in, I developed severe dysautonomia.
I strongly believed,daily exercise, eat variety of fruits and vegetables,Good hydration is important for overall good health.Making sure you get fresh air, sunshine(vitamin D) and enough sleep are the best method to maintain strong immune system especially to the elderly.This is an immune booster fits all.
There are salt tablets available...in 100mg. If you have a pill cutter, you can cut the pill in quarters and drop in a liter bottle of beverage...it will slowly dissolve. You could just add the tsp to the liter beverage too. Sometimes the tablets can be expensive.
Hi, I have no medical training but I am two years in with this and the only thing keeping me going are OTC generic Claritin and my new best friend saline nose spray, non medicated so you can use as needed. I just buy store brand, it does help
Hi! We've reached out to Dr Boon and here's his response: Regular hydration. It would be worth checking if you breathe through your mouth - if you do, try to switch to nasal breathing, which is less dehydrating.
What about if you have high blood pressure yet are breathless ? e.g. High BP 176/91. although I do have aortic stenosis. I do drink gallons of water. Thank you!
Hi! We've reached out to Dr Boon and here's his response: This is different from long covid - please consult your cardiologist, and you may have a different reason for breathlessness - your BP appears high if this is a consistent reading.
I'm a bit confused after listening to this video. It sounds like Dr. Lim is mostly referring to those who suffer from POTS after C infection. My symptoms are lightheadedness (or pressure in my head) that fluctuates during the course of the day. I generally feel much better after eating dinner - almost to the point of feeling "normal", but I'm more sensitive in the 1st part of the day. I definitely know when I've overdone it as the next day I can tell I've relapsed. I've checked my bp and don't have POTS. I've also read that a low salt diet is recommended for dizziness. I've generally been eating a normal amount of salt daily, mostly at dinner since that's my biggest meal. Anyway, I'm just curious if you would recommend 1-2 teaspoons of salt daily if one doesn't have POTS. And should the salt content of miso be included in this category? My systolic bp is generally between 106-120. Thank you for this interesting video.
It's a very good treatment but make sure your blood pressure is ok before going on this treatment and check it regularly because salt and cold water raises your blood pressure.
My daughter is 15 low bp, tachycardia and I think POTs, yet to be diagnosed. Can I up her salt intake and what would be best, himaylan pink salt, rock salt, table salt witb iodine. Many thanks for your talks
What to do instead of drinking salt if you have high BP? There is likely two teaspoonful of salt already in ordinary every day cooking. Is the doctor’s two teaspoon of salt in addition to what we normally add to cooking? If yes can we add more salt when we make soup and drink the soup instead of salt in a glass of plain water?
Hi! We've reached out to Dr Boon and here's his response: If you are known to have a high BP, please do not have excessive salt. You may need to discuss this with your doctor further. Only take salt IF you have normal or low normal BP and your symptoms are consistent with long covid. 2 teaspoonfuls is what is recommended in total and if this is already consumed in day to day cooking, then you may not need to add more. However, if you exercise/sweat a lot and have low BP despite a salty meal, then you can add a little more salt, depending on what your salt "craving" level is. Remember, if high BP, be more cautious about salt.
What about if you have long covid and you have high blood pressure, palpitations, acid reflux and diarrhea, all at the same time. Can you still use salt, compression socks and cold shower?
I have been very blessed to never get Covid or any diseases out there because I don’t be exposed by lots of different people on a daily basis and I stay away from crowded places 🙏🏽
You have been exposed but 70% of people get no symptoms (most people don't know that). The only way to know for sure is to do the blood test,T-cell immunity test or specific antibody test (not standard covid test).
@@cashrobertson9908 Hello Cash, my symptoms were only extreme fatigue including falling asleep on trains and at work uncontrollably. I had this problem for several months.
