I have a similar experience, albeit with a different set of symptoms. I've been active and athletic all my life, never a problem with my blood pressure, after Covid I now permanently have high blood pressure and need to treat for it. All the doctors I've seen tell me that no, Covid doesn't do that, even though there's a clear cut line of before and after.

"Strong arguments support the thesis that, through various mechanisms, COVID-19 infection can contribute to the development of hypertension." [1]

At least some of the literature points in that direction. Have your doctors read the literature and concluded it's not a thing or did they just wing it because Googling is hard?
