Long COVID: Understanding and Addressing Persistent Symptoms

Long COVID refers to the range of symptoms experienced by individuals even after the acute phase of COVID-19 has passed. If you're still grappling with fatigue, altered taste, fatigue, cardiovascular inflammation, unusual neurological symptoms, or difficulty sleeping, you may be experiencing Long COVID.
What is Long COVID?
Long COVID is not a singular symptom but rather a complex medical condition characterized by a variety of symptoms persisting for three months or more post-recovery from COVID-19. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and may affect different bodily systems, including the heart, lungs, brain, and immune system.

Symptoms of Long COVID vary widely among individuals but commonly include:
  • Fatigue

  • Shortness of breath

  • Insomnia or sleep disturbances

  • Chronic cough

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Chest pain

  • Heart palpitations

  • Digestive issues such as diarrhea

Causes of Long COVID
The exact causes of Long COVID are still being researched, but several factors may contribute to its development:
  • Presence of small blood clots affecting organ function

  • Immune system dysfunction similar to autoimmune disorders

  • Persistent inflammation in organs and tissues

  • Reactivation of dormant viruses, including SARS-CoV-2

  • Long-term psychological effects, such as anxiety and depression

Risk Factors for Long COVID
Certain factors may increase the risk of experiencing Long COVID:
  • Severe COVID-19 requiring hospitalization

  • Pre-existing health conditions like diabetes, obesity, lung disease, suppressed immunity, and high blood pressure.
