Living with Long COVID symptoms

About four months ago, I went through COVID-19, and honestly, it wasn't even that intense—just a couple of days of fever, aching bones everywhere, and some diarrhea that lingered way longer than ten days, plus a cough toward the end. My doctor actually sent me straight to the hospital's specialized clinic, but everything turned out fine, thank God, because there was no pneumonia or anything like that.
But here’s the real kicker, the issue that first cropped up two weeks after I recovered, and then happened another two or three times since then—including just yesterday—is this sudden, jarring dizziness that hangs around for a day or two. I mean, once it hits, the whole world starts spinning the second I roll over in bed, or whenever I try to stand up or bend down; it just spins and spins for forty-eight hours straight.
Has anyone else dealt with symptoms like this??
I'm holding off on seeing the doctor for now, because let's be real, they're just going to refer me to a neurologist anyway, so I'll wait a bit longer, though if this keeps happening, I guess I'll have no choice but to go in.
Best,
Did the dizziness ever clear up for you? Because I'm dealing with something almost identical right now...
Cheers
