Maybe I’m a statistical anomaly or maybe I just don’t know the baseline occurrence rate for this stuff but I have 3 close acquaintances two of which are this persons age or younger with similar symptoms (tachycardia, though to a lesser degree) going on. Is there data on the incidence rates for this stuff and has it been increasing since 2021?

Not tachycardia, but I had frequent heart palpitations for a few months after contracting Covid the first time in late ‘21. Did not notice anything in subsequent times. Maybe it was a placebo effect, as I had knowledge of Covid’s effects on the heart, maybe not.

I doubt it was placebo. I had the same for about a year after a wild-type covid infection in early 2020.

Turns out there is multiple publications associating tachycardia and other heart symptoms with long covid. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8356730/

The medical profession has got much better at finding these sorts of anomalies. Whether that is good or not is an open question.
