I’m trying to shed the light on underrated COVID-related problems, from the experience of some of my patients, as well as my own personal experience with COVID vaccine and disease, these observations were not collected systematically, and until now, I couldn’t generate a consensus to study it objectively; however, your input may help in doing so.

The cases in reference include home quarantined as well as some of the hospitalized COVID cases, and continued for at least the first few weeks after discharge. There’s some clustering patterns; as more than one problem tend to coexist / reported, seemingly independent of the breathing difficulties (including mild COVID cases with no respiratory requirements beyond Room air).

I’ll try to break that down with some details on each:

1- difficulties in either falling asleep, interrupted sleep, and/or , as well as nightmares or a general negative perception of the usually “incoherent dreams”.

This problem reported with different types of vaccines, as well as mild-moderate COVID cases.

2- tenderness or fullness of the arm pits: also after vaccination and in mild-moderate COVID cases.

I do appreciate any input regarding similar observations or relevant publications.
