“Long COVID” (also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or “PASC”) is a condition that refers to the persistence or development of symptoms after the acute phase of COVID-19 has resolved. These symptoms can last for weeks or months and may affect multiple organs and systems in the body.
Some common symptoms of long COVID include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, muscle weakness, cognitive impairment (commonly referred to as “brain fog”), depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. It is not yet clear how common long COVID is or why some people experience it while others do not, but researchers are actively studying this phenomenon.
It is important to note that not everyone who has had COVID-19 will experience long COVID, and some people may have only mild symptoms that resolve quickly. However, those who are experiencing persistent symptoms should seek medical advice and support.
Here is a recent article from the National Library of Medicine on Long Covid and management.
Long COVID can vary significantly between individuals. Some people may experience symptoms for a few weeks, while others may have symptoms that last for months. There have also been reports of people experiencing symptoms for a year or more (in 2023).
The specific symptoms and their severity can also change over time. Some people may have a few mild symptoms that come and go, while others may have a more severe and persistent set of symptoms.
It is also worth noting that there is still much that is unknown about long COVID, including how long it can last and why some people are more likely to develop it than others. However, ongoing research is being conducted to better understand the condition and identify effective treatments.
