Covid and Vision Problems?
Hi Andrew! Wondering if there is any data on Covid causing vision problem? The day I got Covid (back in January) my one telltale symptom was that I couldn’t focus my eyes on moving vehicles in front of me while driving, and my depth perception was way off. The issue persisted and was pronounced for 3 months, and has since improved slightly. I did just have my eyes checked yesterday and while they are healthy, my prescription changed by a full point in each eye which is strange for my age/ in general according to my optometrist. So just curious if you have come across any similar cases and if there’s a way to regain or strengthen one’s vision following an event like Covid. Thank you for all that you do and for offering us devotees a place to ask (/harass) you with our personal questions!
Sleep When Sick
I'm fighting off a cold at the moment and spent three hours in the afternoon (2pm-5pm) sleeping. Was that a good idea in terms of getting healthy again, or should I have restrained myself from sleeping after 3pm despite feeling exhausted from being sick? Thanks for answering! :)
Dysautonomia/POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
Hello Andrew, Hope you are doing great. Dysautonomia and POTS are extremely getting more and more common today. Some people believe its due to the effects of covid (long covid). Some believe its just due to deconditioning of the body and some believe its an actual autonomic nervous system disorder. What’s your take on it and any possible solutions for people suffering from it?
Meaning and the Brain
It's known that a phenomenon such as moral judgement as religious experience, thought to be more abstract, can be associated with brain activity in specific regions. I was wondering: is there a structure (or several structures) in the brain that's involved with a sense/experience of meaning in life? It also might help clarify how to develop such sense or feeling, perhaps with the help of psychological tools (e.g. positive psychology, Logotherapy etc.). Thank you!
Meditation and neurochemicals
Hi Andrew, you mention that deep focus require increases in Dopamine, Acetylcholine and Epinephrine. What about in meditation? Meditation is also focus training, but in meditation Epinephrine decreases. So why is that? Thank you so much for your time and knowledge:)
