As you can see, these symptoms are not unique to COVID-19 and are often seen in other medical conditions. The observation that they occur as new problems after COVID-19 is likely related to the body systems involved in the acute infection phase. Both the CDC and the WHO are actively considering this disorder and though their definitions are different, they are unified in emphasizing both the large number of patients experiencing it and the need to develop a health system response to care for sufferers.
If you believe you have long COVID, schedule an appointment on Wellivery to get an assessment.
