As someone who deals with pretty intense anxiety often, it’s worth just waiting for more general data.
Physical symptoms from anxiety are real and hard to separate from non-anxiety related symptoms. The current covid/election/general global craziness sets anxiety levels high.
I haven’t caught covid, but if I had I imagine I’d be similarly freaking out over every anxious feeling via hypervigilance.
None of this means that there aren’t real long term effects, but it’s worth being skeptical in context of anecdotes.
You can find anxious people going down rabbit holes of vague symptoms for basically every possible disease. People are not able to adequately assess themselves.
