Mayo Clinic's Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn (vah-NISH-kah-shorn) is talking about long-haul COVID-19. The two most common symptoms are shortness of breath and fatigue. Other symptoms can include dizziness, headache, a rapid heart rate and "brain fog," or the inability to think clearly. And cases of long-haul COVID-19 aren't necessarily associated with having severe COVID-19 illness. He says many cases of long-haul COVID-19 actually occur in younger people, and it happens to women more than men.
Researchers are making headway in better understanding long-haul COVID-19 and treating it with rehabilitation services, including occupational and physical therapy. He says getting treatment earlier is better. If you're still having symptoms two or three weeks after recovering from COVID-19, contact your health care provider.
