I did the procedure to treat long COVID. I got an SGB of bupivacaine and dexamethasone on 8/3. I experienced side effects for 10 days of anxiety, restlessness, stress, headache, dizziness, etc. The side effects were thought to be due to the dexamethasone. After the 10 days, I felt better than ever before, the procedure made me feel great but did not bring my back sense of taste and smell. To attempt to bring back my senses I got an SGB of only lidocaine on 8/17. After three weeks I began to experience extreme anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpitations to the point I thought I was going to die, insomnia, restlessness, headaches, extreme brain fog (I failed some and had to drop my other classes), existencial crisis, extremely fast passage of time, and general depersonalization. Had I not gotten the second shot, I likely would have been fine. It’s been three months and although I’m better, I’m still suffering from some of those effects. Neither procedure returned my senses and the second injection left me with terrible long-lasting effects. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I feel death is more merciful.

Do you have sources? Thanks
