‘It’s destroyed us’: Parents of children with long Covid accused of making it up Doctors and parents say children are being threatened with being taken into care as medics struggle to diagnose their conditions and families are placed under suspicion

Unusual heart rhythm disorder common in people with long COVID A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that an unusual heart rhythm disorder, POTS, is particularly common in people with long COVID. The majority of those affected are middle-aged women.

“Patients w/ severe long COVID who had not been hospitalised for COVID-19 were examined.”

I know someone w/ POTS & Long COVID. But unfortunately she doesn’t know or acknowledge she has LC, despite my several attempts to tell her about LC. So for her & her doctors, it’s a mystery why she has POTS.
