Is Vertigo a Symptom of Long COVID?

Have you seen random vertigo in long COVID patients?  For example, a patient who's not had vertigo before they had COVID and now they have it after they’ve had COVID?  Yes, there's lots of new things.  We understand there's all sorts of new things that are neuroinflammatory.  There’s vertigo, headaches, brain fog, body wide pain and other things.  Normally that's due to the neurological inflammation driving the vertigo or driving whatever the other symptoms are.  A lot of times getting into the neural recovery; the healing of the inflammation of the brain we remember neurology data says post COVID is kind of like having had a traumatic brain injury.  There's a lot of things that aren't getting treated. 

I'm not connected to any supplement company but the one we use a lot with neurological folks is called COVER 3. COVER 3 is available online.  It has been very helpful.  The underlying cause of things should be looked at, too.  To answer your question, yes, I've seen that.
