To clarify- I have never gotten a positive result on a covid test, I tested negative, they;re just assuming it was long cv b/c they couldn't find anything else wrong and I matched the symptoms almost to a T. I should have put that in before.
I worked really hard to get off ALL meds after HA, and I did so within about 4 years, so when my BP jumped for no reason, I was pretty freaked out. And, I just remembered- the way this started was tachycardia at night while lying on my side. I was waking up in a panic a couple times/night and finaaly realized it was b/c my heart was racing... right after that, the BP went up. Same as you, normal for me is ~120/70 and I was spiking at 150/90 out of nowhere. Before i could get in to my cardiologist, I was using a cocktail of beet root, mag, coq10, omega3, garlic, etc to keep it down and that would get me about 10 points. When all else fails, Xanax will absolutely bring it down, at least enough to sleep. I was getting 20 points off of just .25mg/night.
I'm saying this stuff in case any readers are dealing with it, I hope it's useful info in case someone needs it. Don't play games with it, it's not going away. Like i said, it called the shots for the better part of 6 months of my life. I changed all my supplements, changed exercise routine, green tea everyday, no coffee, threw VC at it... I finally went full carnivore for about 3 weeks just as an elimination diet trying to reset something? and that's how I learned sugar and carbs were making it worse. Pound water, sleep, HOT baths, ice packs and treat the symptoms.
i keep remebering stuff like it was a dream- I was SO cold, all the time. Like, my body was over-reacting to the cold. Twice i caught a chill and couldn't shake it and tensed up so bad i cramped the muscles in my neck and shoulders. So weird.
