Dry skin, weight gain, brain fog and hair loss are some of the symptoms reported by people who have recovered from the COVID-19 infection. People have also reported increased levels of stress and anxiety, along with shortness of breath after COVID. According to experts, many of these symptoms are directly related to the Kovid-19 infection, while staying indoors for a long time due to the epidemic also has a role in this. According to the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence, the term ‘Long COVID’ emerged during these times, which are basically symptoms that persist after COVID.
Brain fog is another complication plaguing people post-Covid, especially students who resumed learning and were unable to concentrate due to cognitive impairment. Brain fog has been reported in approximately 12-50% of patients who have complained of impaired executive function, memory, and concentration.
Other post-covid symptoms are listed below:
sleep disorder
Experts have observed that COVID-19 not only affects our lungs but also affects our nervous system leading to sleeplessness and insomnia and can persist for more than a year.
increased hair loss
Most people infected with COVID reported increased levels of hair loss and thinning of hair, which usually clears up within 4-5 weeks of infection. Stress and anxiety due to rising cases and lockdown have further aggravated the hair fall.
weight gain
When the lockdown was eased, many people left their homes carrying a few extra pounds on their bodies. Rapid weight gain in people was associated with sudden interruptions in physical activity and COVID-19-induced stress.
heart problems
Doctors have reported an increase in patients with heart diseases. Blood tests from some COVID patients have pointed to damaged heart tissue.
sensitive gut disease
Patients may also experience bowel difficulties which may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, cramps or bloating. This usually happens when the brain and gut stop working together during times of stress.
