Why is COVID-19 debt more and more worrying?
Long COVID-19, or long-lasting symptoms of coronavirus infection, is attracting more and more attention in the world. The reason is important. Long covid is threatening a wave of chronic diseases, and that will have consequences for health systems. Unfortunately, many questions about the long covid still remain unanswered. It is not known exactly where it comes from or how long it may last. The authors of a work recently published in the medical journal “BMJ” believe that “Long covid symptoms may persist for over a year and potentially be persistent”. Also, not all the symptoms of long covid are known, although the list includes over 200 of them.
The anxiety grows when you juxtapose this with the estimated statistics. The authors of this article estimate that from 19 to over 16,5 million people worldwide may struggle with complications after COVID-100. Yet the pandemic is still going on.
Scientists are carefully studying the consequences of getting COVID-19. Long covid was recently discovered to have three facets. One of the most frequently observed types was pocovidic disorder in the nervous system. Affected people complained of brain fog, headaches, fatigue.
The latter symptom, as well as lower energy levels, are among the most frequently reported long covid ailments. This symptom is a red flag that indicates possible complications after the disease. As more and more cases of infection with the coronavirus occur, it is becoming more and more common. And we are not talking about typical fatigue.
Fatigue even after a good night’s sleep – long covid red flag
Most often we feel tired after exercise or a long period of concentration. But there is something else at stake here. “Sometimes fatigue can be felt in ways that do not seem normal,” says the NHS fact sheet on fatigue in the context of COVID-19.
It’s about a chronic, debilitating state of fatigue. You feel it even after resting and a good night’s sleep. It appears even after minimal exertion, limiting daily activities. It may be accompanied by difficulties with memory and concentration. Some people complain of dizziness, which increases when changing from a lying or sitting position to a standing position.
Have you been infected with COVID-19? Be sure to check your health. The Healing Blood Test Pack, available on Medonet Market, can help you with this. You can also make them at home.
It is known that chronic fatigue can be the result of a viral infection (although there are many reasons). The health service of the UK reports that this usually takes two or three weeks to pass, but for some people it may last for months.
When to see a doctor? It is certainly a good idea to consult if you feel that your condition is worsening (you are getting more and more tired), if after three months your fatigue has not changed, if new symptoms have appeared. Remember that it is worth contacting your doctor if you have any doubts about your health.
