COVID-19 Can Linger With You
We’ve learned that recovering from COVID-19 doesn’t end when you’re no longer sick. Many experience lingering side effects, from more severe symptoms that keep you from returning to normal, to mild symptoms you might not even be aware of.
Here for you, even after you recover
As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing more and more people affected by lingering side effects. Doctors began noticing increased adverse long-term effects in their patients. People who had recovered from COVID-19 were still experiencing fatigue, heart palpitations, decreased lung function, memory loss, and even depression. Some people have severe versions of these effects, while others might not realize their health is suffering.
Common lingering effects of COVID-19:
- Fatigue
- Brain Fog
- Heart Palpitations
- Decreases in Lung Function
- Memory Loss
- Difficulty with Decision Making
- Depression
