Long COVID

What is Long COVID?

Long COVID is a condition in which people continue to experience health issues long after recovering from their initial COVID-19 infection. Most experience symptoms at least three months after overcoming the initial infection. These lingering effects can last for weeks, months, or even longer.

Anyone who has had COVID-19 can develop long COVID, even if their initial illness was mild. While the signs may be subtle, they can significantly impact your daily life and well-being.

We understand how challenging these long-term effects can be. With extensive experience in treating long COVID, we're dedicated to helping you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

What are the Long-Term Effects of COVID?

Scientists don’t yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s impact on long-term health. Some of the symptoms experienced with long COVID include:

• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Brain fog or cognitive impairment
• Loss of taste or smell
• Headaches
• Persistent cough
• Chest pain or tightness
• Joint or muscle pain
• Insomnia or sleep disturbances
• Mood changes or depression

Understanding the complexities of long COVID is challenging. The symptoms can often be associated with preexisting conditions, which makes these long-term effects difficult to diagnose.

Why Does Long COVID Affect Some People and Not Others?

While medical experts don’t know why long COVID only affects certain people, some factors can increase your risk, including:

• Immune response
• High viral load
• Preexisting health conditions (Lyme disease, mold toxicity, heavy metal toxicity, diabetes, autoimmunity, excess weight, low testosterone, hormone imbalance, etc.)
• Older age
• Genetics

You can still have long COVID with no risk factors. A thorough medical history review and comprehensive testing helps our providers determine whether your symptoms stem from long COVID.
