The effect of coronavirus can continue for a long time even after the initial recovery. And post-COVID complications can be as serious as the infection, and sometimes such syndromes can be fatal if taken care of at an early stage. A few weeks ago the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the long-term effects of the coronavirus can be severe, affecting every part of your body. WHO official Dr. Abdi Mahmoud said, “When people talk about COVID, they think of it as an upper respiratory disease, but it is more than a systemic disease. Literally, it affects every part of the cardiovascular system as a single. Years later and later was influencing.”
What is Long COVID?
Long COVID is usually diagnosed several weeks after a battle with COVID-19. Any long-lasting effects usually appear about 90 days after the initial infection symptoms go away.
Overall, some estimates suggest that more than a third of COVID-19 survivors will develop some symptoms of prolonged COVID, according to WHO data.
What are the common prolonged COVID symptoms?
Some of the most common chronic COVID symptoms that need early attention are nerve damage, heart disease, tingling sensation in the body, depression and brain fog.
nerve damage:
Studies have shown that long-term covid can damage peripheral nerve fibers “and damage to the short-fibre type of nerve cell may be predominant,” said lead author Anne Lewis Oaklander, an investigator in the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital. he said.
Therefore, the nerves that control things like our breathing, blood vessels and our digestion can be damaged by prolonged COVID.
heart disease:
COVID can cause serious heart diseases, several studies have shown. The World Heart Federation (WHF) said at the start of the pandemic, “COVID-19 is a perfect storm for the heart. A recent study also reported that a heart attack could occur within a week after being diagnosed.” The risk increases by 8 times.” With COVID.
Trembling sensation:
This syndrome may seem minor by comparison but studies prove otherwise.
A University of Michigan report says, “Chronic numbness or tingling can be a symptom of any number of disorders: stroke, tumors, multiple sclerosis—to name a few.”
brain fog:
A recent study from Oxford University has shown that shrinking of the brain hinders many cognitive activities. And many people are suffering from problems like fatigue, lack of concentration, brain fog etc.
Depression:
Studies also show that people who have been infected with COVID-19 are three times more likely to experience anxiety, and nearly twice as likely to experience depression, and more likely to have both conditions. 2.6 times higher, compared to people who have never had COVID-19.
