Still feeling “Just not quite right” following having had COVID-19? You are not alone. 

No matter what station you watch, magazines you read, or search engines you frequent. COVID is still one of the world’s top health concerns. There has been a learning curve as we have progressed along through this viral illness that has swept the globe. Not a lot was known at first about longer-term lingering effects.

As it has been now nearly two years, we have some more data to work with in order to bring you factual information on how those who have survived COVID-19 are doing these days and how their health is and has been post-covid.

While much attention has been given to the symptoms of onset and those during an infection today, we wanted to take a look at what people are experiencing in the days, weeks, months and rolling into years since covid.

• Memory issues
• Reduced attention span
• Inability to think clearly
• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Sleep issues
• Fevers
• Anxiety
• Heart problems
• Kidney problems
• Lost or distorted sense of smell or taste
• Neurological issues (Headaches, dizziness)
• Mental health issues
• Diabetes

When should I see a doctor about post-COVID-19 symptoms?

Long-term COVID-19 symptoms can be similar to signs of another disease, so it is important to see your doctor and rule out other problems, such as cardiac issues or lung disease.

Don’t ignore the loss of smell, depression, anxiety, or insomnia. Any symptom that interferes with your daily life is worth a call to your doctor, who can help you address these problems and improve the quality of your life.

More information will continue to emerge about covid’s effects and how they can be treated.  If you are experiencing heart-based issues we cordially invite you to make an appointment with us here at Tampa Cardiovascular Associates.
