So, I've been having this thing happening where when I lie down and close my eyes, I start feeling this pulsating sensation and a little dizziness, like a tightness in the back of my head. It comes and goes, especially when I'm breathing in and out. It usually goes away after a bit, but I'm not sure what's triggering it. Sometimes I don't feel it at all, but other times it'll happen while I'm just sitting too. Also, I have an anxiety disorder, and my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 90 bpm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about, or is it more linked to my anxiety?

I've been dealing with some issues after testing positive for COVID-19 back in September. Initially, I only lost my taste and smell, and while I did test negative after two weeks, I'm still having trouble. It's been over a month now, and although my sense of taste is slowly coming back, it's nowhere near normal. Plus, I keep getting headaches. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how to recover fully?
