Covid-19 Long Haulers: What to Expect From Post COVID Symptoms
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- When you have already had COVID-19, but it doesn’t quite feel like you’re done with it.
The lingering symptoms felt during post-COVID syndrome can include:
Fatigue
Headache
Brain fog
And more...
My brain was really affected. I had brain fog, fatigue, tinnitus, chronic pain, insomnia, tremor. I think it was because I was stuck in “fight or flight” secondary to the inflammation. I used pacing and yoga nidra to slowly get back into “rest and digest” and gently nudged (rather than pushed) myself forward. I am now fully-recovered at 20 months post-infection. I probably could’ve recovered quicker, but for months I didn’t understand what was going on. Good luck long haulers. You’ve got this! ❤️
11 months here, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, slowly slowly healing... hopefully I'll get there like yourself!
UPDATE:
I have fully recovered after 24 months. It was very slow but I finally got there. The book 'The Way Out' by Alan Gordon definitely helped me with healing from long covid so I recommend that book. Aside from that, just be kind to yourself, give yourself space and time. I didn't think I was going to recover but honestly slowly and surely, it did happen. Sending you all the love and light cause I know how difficult I found it during the first year and a half but you will get there! Eat good food, exercise (if you can), be patient and love and take care of yourself.
12 months after covid, start feeling insomnia and brain fog after 7 months, still bad. Don't know what to do
@@Jorgaiki I started with a hypnotherapy session, then daily yoga nidra (not yoga), to get myself out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest”. That will allow your body to heal and your brain to slowly clear. You can’t heal (or sleep) when you’re stuck in “fight or flight”. Good luck. You’ve got this! ❤️
@@syamimsirajudin7305 Just keep looking back at how far you’ve come. And keep visualising a great future. That helped me when progress was slow. And remember, slow progress is still progress. ❤️
I am going exactly thru what u went thru it’s been 2 months and I have weekness, fatigue, rapid heart beats, brain fog and treamors and also digestive problems
I can't function anymore. I cant sleep, i cant remember anything. My legs dont work properly anymore. They are weak and rubbery. My depression and anxiety is off the scale. I cant eat. I have migraines all the time.
I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
Will pray for you that God heals you. Cindy
@@cindysmale9290 Thank you so very much x
I pray that God helps you in the name of Jesus. I am going to similar things too.
Me neither
@rain7bow437/ how are you feeling these days? I have the same problem with my legs weak rubbery can’t walk straight it’s really scary
Had COVID-19 for the past two weeks. Finally over the worst of the infection but suffering from post covid syndrome with shakiness, extreme weakness, anxiety and an extremely fast heartbeat with loss of appetite. Can't even leave my bed.
Same here😔🙏
I am a Covid pneumonia survivor and was vented and stayed in ICU for 17 days. This was in July and August of 2020 and I just recently started to feel better and I am not sure if it’s a coincidence or not, but since my 1st dose of the vaccine I started feet like myself again. Just got my final dose a few days ago because I never want to be that sick again!!! I promise it gets better day by day! Praying for a full recovery for each of you!!!
@@hazelcarter6937 i am 3 weeks Covid free but I have anxiety, insomnia and depression. I had a pretty bad experience but I did not stay in the hospital thank God. Anyway I am not myself anymore….. I hope it gets better
@@hazelcarter6937 hi I first off want to say I'm so glad you survived and are here to tell the story . As soon as I seen your comment I wanted to reply . I'm a 39yr old male no prior health issues to catching Covid . Tested positive on November 30th they sent me home on Tylenol and Tylenol codeine for the cough . The very next day I was back in the hospital. The breathing got bad literally overnight . I spent 16 days hospitalized and one step away from being ventilated. While in the hospital I lost all abilities just about with my body . I was not able to bathe , get dressed , poop on my own and or even sit up in bed to eat without the nurses assistances . Although I am currently home now I am still on oxygen until further notice . The lightheadedness I am currently dealing with is probably my worse even tho my breathing is still bad as well but my oxygen sits well on my pulse oximeter. And my heart rate is definitely always spiking .
Were you on oxygen at home after released from the hospital ? Also if so how long were you on oxygen for . And what were your symptoms mostly while home after hospital stay until you got better . Hope to hear from you soon and thank you so much in advance. God Bless
Do you have a pulse oximeter at home ? If not I highly recommend one . I've heard the shakiness / anxiety could be coming from low oxygen. If this is ever the case get to a hospital immediately and through paramedics so that you are not stuck in a waiting room deprived of oxygen
Dizziness,fatigue both mental and physical,eye issues,stomach issues,pains in the body muscles and joints, shortness of breath, high or low heart rate, memory issues, feeling like you're in a dream state, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, stiffness in hands or other areas, excessive bathroom use, nausea, ringing in ears, mood problems, trouble eating, weight gain or extreme weight loss and the list goes on. Those are mine though didn't list others.
OMG, how are you now?
Holy, you just listed -WORD FOR WORD- every single symptom I have had since my initial infection with COVID back in November. How are you doing now? Did you find any treatment/diagnosis, etc or anything to help you? I feel like I am going insane and wanting to give up most days because it’s uncomfortable and so terrifying. 😥 I just want to be myself again…sending you all the positivity I can, even if I am just a stranger. ❤️✨
You have all my symptoms dizziness is the worst for me it's there all the time xxx hope you okay 👍
@@hanahjoe716 what to do for dizziness even I have
I had very mild COVID, probably Omicron. After 6 weeks, I still have muscle pain and weakness, fatigue, very low endurance, sleepiness (falling asleep while trying to read), and inertia in which I simply don't want to do much of anything. I lie down after dressing for the day. I may have an impulse to do something simple, like walk out to get my mail; then feel it is too much effort. My mind is restless, wanting to be active; but my body wants to lie down and rest. I previously have had fatigue after viral pneumonia, but this is worse.
Did you get back to 100% as yet? an you tell me what helped? Im experiencing fatigue, brain bog, I also have extra energy, jittery at times, insomnia and sometimes I feel like im having an anxiety attack
I had covid in March. Was positive with symptoms for 10 days and at home with fatigue, heart symptoms and shortness of breath for a month. Then I got better. Finally felt fine. That lasted for 6 weeks and now I suddenly feel like my post covid sympto.s are back...
Is been over a year and I still feel my lungs weak.
Do you still have a hard time breathing especially in the mornings ? It's been a year sinse I had covic and that's what I'm still dealing with. It is scary .
Insomnia is real...I always was able to sleep. Now I cant...after I recovered from covid...
Im having sleep problems after i recovered from COVID-19
What about post covid insomnia?

I am currently dealing with Covid insomnia but then again not sure if it's the Dexamethasone they have me on as well . Won't know until my doctor discontinues the dexamethasone
Had that for years nerve Damage, learn to use it for your good, if its really bugging you make it works for your hell try Edible Marijuana Medical
Very good video thank you Doctor . Just released from the hospital after 16 days . Unfortunately I was at severe bilateral Covid pneumonia in both lungs and suffered severe respiratory failure. Doctors saved my life which I am much appreciated . I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving the doctors the abilities to redeem me . While in the hospital Covid partially paralyzed me . I was not able to even sit up in bed on my own without the nurses assistance. I was on oxygen the whole time and one step away from a ventilator. I am home now but still on oxygen until further notice . The lightheadedness I am suffering at home is horrible at the moment. Oxygen levels are reading well on Pulse oximeter but the lightheadedness still reigns. I am recovering slowly but feel there's a ways to go .
I was diagnosed two weeks ago. I am vaccinated. I was pretty sick though and had the monoclonal antibody treatment a week ago. I am still exhausted though. I really want to go back to work but am so tired all the time. I was vaccinated with the Pfizer back in February.
How are you feeling now?
I’ve had it for 3 weeks. Same as you , apfizer vaccinated and got the monoclonal antibodies. Still dealing with symptoms including fever.
Maybe if you take another 2-3 shots of the vaccine, the symptoms will disapear?
Wooly, how are u?
I had COVID a month ago. I feel tired alot now.. but the most scary thing is when I had it was my heartbeat was high and shortness of breath...it sucked
I have been having episodes of shortness of breath. Almost been a year since covid 😒
Same
Its been 3 weeks and a half and I’m still coughing m. Coughing up mucus. I did cough up little blood once. I also had lower left side back pain when breathing. But for the past 5 days all I have now is coughing that is annoying
The coughing part is horrible, still deal with it sometimes but not as bad as before, When I first got it my cough would take my breath away, my head hurt, and I felt like I was going to pass out from the coughs, it’s been 3 weeks since I tested negative and I still experience with a sort of chest burn, not pain, more like a feeling of a burning sensation inside my lungs and through my chest. This could take up to 6 months to a year to fully recover, and in cases it could be permanent. Best too get yourself checked out just to make sure no damage has been done to your lungs, I’m going to get checked out soon.
@@zus-4718 I’m better now
@@cripbk2147 praise God
I’m recovered fully but there is upper back pain regularly... what to do..?
Hello, Kavi. Please give us a call at 713.790.3333 and one of our representatives will be happy to help you find a doctor who can assist you with your health journey.
I found acupuncture really helped with that.
Try sleeping in a prone position. To keep the pressure in your back and helps your lungs expand. This was recommended by my doctor. Hope this helps.
I am chronically ill patient. So I was considered to be ideal candidate for vaccine. Athletic figure, minimal fat, naturally a lot of muscle without having to do anything for it. A relatively healthy lifestyle. 12 years ago, I've got serious bilateral pneumonia together with angina caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) I've caught it in the hospital when I was there on a regular check up in neurology department and it really messed up my body. It took a month than I felt first symptoms, but then it was super fast. I've spent 3,5 months in hospital 2,5 months in coma and
I got omicron and even after recovering I’ve fatigue brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Same here
I spent 11 days in the hospital 3 ICU. Got out Augusta 14 and still have serious breathing problems over 2 months later.
Wow so sorry to hear . Have you considered seeing a pulmonologist ?
It is Sept. 2022 and I hope this doctor has caught up to the Science re : the "shot".
It's been two weeks post COVID...am still on isolation..my chest is heavy and have moments of dyspnea especially at night or during the day post an activity..I have fatigue ,I have insomnia ...when will all this end...
So sorry to hear you're going through this. I know your pain , 39yr old male here perfect health prior to catching Covid. I was hospitalized 16 days and was one step away from a ventilator. Loss almost all my abilities while in the hospital. Could not bathe , poop on my own or get dressed . Got so bad I needed assistance just to sit up in bed to eat while hospitalized. I am home now but on oxygen until further notice. Still have dyspnea since being home , insomnia. Pulse oximeter has been reading well tho. Covid is a very serious virus . How are you feeling these days since your comment ?
I feel your pain April makes a year,and I feel worst then having covid
5 months ago i had covid and i still having brain fog everyday none stop i feel like my head is heavy really heavy and I'm having blurry visions i can't focus or anything this thing is crazy
Im the same. It's been 3 months for me. I have seen a small improvement, but some days are worse than others

@@bennym1326 can you please tell me what do you do too feel better and approve this i have been told i have tlo eat healthy and sleep 8hours everyday and i sleep a lot and i eat good this brain fog is still here like crazy this virus is insane
@@saintjames785 I've been eating healthy and sleeping, but unfortunately work has been full on and I can't afford to take time off, so my recovery is slow. It's horrible isn't it! It's really ruining my life
@@saintjames785 also, magnesium, vitamin D, zinc have helped a bit.
Frankenvirus...no way to tell what the short term effects would be, much less the long term effects.
Agree wholeheartedly
In August I got negative after I was sick over 2 weeks! Now I my BP go to 170 only by walking I'm just 29....very scary post coronavirus
Same! BP high after just walking. Has anything helped u?
Good day, did your symptoms improve? What were you feeling when your blood pressure went up high? Did you feel any chest pressure?
I had covic last October. Here it is a year later now its October again and for months now . I have a hard time breathing . Wondering does anybody else have this symtom ?
I recently got covid and no clue how since I rarely leave my house. When I do, I wear a mask, clean my hands, etc. So yeah, sucks!
I'm still coughing my head off a week later and I'm sleeping sporadically throughout the day. My biggest issue is that I occasionally get super dizzy and nauseous. I'll feel like I just got off a spinny ride and I'll be standing or sitting completely still. It's weird.
I wouldn't say I'm having any memory issues but I definitely have a bit of brain fog. All I know is if I'm vaccinated, eat mostly healthy, take vitamin D/K2 and a ton of other supplements exercise, and still felt as miserable as I did with covid, either I'm just unlucky, which I'm not ruling out or I'd hate to see what unvaxxed/unhealthy people experience with this stuff!
No smell or tasteHair loss numbness in my fingers
A dropp of fresh blood agglutinate on a surface of a cold glass lamela at some patients after SARS COV2 infection.
At microscop can be seen erytrocyte aggregation like coin rolls ,but at low temperature of the glass lamela.
If after SARS COV2 infection,,low temperature agglutinine,, occur at some patients that can increase blood viscousity at perifereal circulation, where blood have lower temperature.
Check into Secondary Vasculitis due to Post Covid Syndrome
I have brainfog, confusion, memory lapse, disorientation, dissonance, odd fatigue when I'm not doing anything, shortness of breath even when I walk for 10 to 30 meters, my sense of smell and taste have not completely been back but have some improvement. I worry about my brainfog. And fatigue. I would have insomnia for weeks but now I fall asleep easily in the day and at night I get too sleepy at around 7 or 8. I sleep for 14, 15, 20, 28 or so hours straight, which is weird; these are my aftermath of covid. I used to be strong and quite fit before the delta variant. Almost died when I had the virus, was too sick, vomitting blood because of pneumonia and I nearly would get heart attack a number of times, the pain and symptoms was damn awful, it was horrible having battled so many synptoms then.
Sir you had way worse symptoms than I did, sorry to hear that, I will pray to god for all the people going through this, to heal and get better soon, I had very bad symptoms, and still dealing with a couple of them but they are not as bad no more. Everyone dealing with long covid symptoms needs to eat almost pure vegetable soups and drink once per day ginger tea with cinnamon, or just the ginger tea by itself. Also limón tea helps.
Ugh sounds like me, not sure if I had covid but I’ve had severe derealization for several months. Can’t figure out a cause
I completely understand what you're going through. I was hospitalized 16 days. In those 16 days I was one step away from being ventilated. Was on oxygen 24/7 I could not even situp in bed to eat on my own in the hospital. I couldn't bathe on my own , could not sit to poop on my own and could not wipe even without assistance. I'm currently home now but still on oxygen til further notice. I still have dyspnea , my lightheadedness is intense daily and still have trouble showering on my own getting dressed etc. I see it's been two months since your last comment. How would you say you're feeling since then ?
Btw just for the mention I'm a 39yr old male no health issues prior to Covid and it still completely took over my body. No drug , tobacco or recreational drug use.
@@zus-4718 I'm sorry. I just got back to this post. Thank you for responding. I hope you feel better everyday. I'm a female by the way. 😁
@@coachsimons3467 I'm so sorry. I hope you are feeling better.

Long Covid has left me with a bad cough, and diarrhoea for 14 months.
It's been 42 days and I am still sick and can't do anything. I got 20 minutes worth of energy a day. I have the worst government medical insurance so I have to wait another 2 months before I can see my doctor.
How are u?
@@shaft657 better today. I wasn't myself for 10 months and then I caught covid a second time. I thought I was going to have to deal with hell for another year. But to be honest getting covid the second time was the best thing that happened. After catching it a second time it cured all the lingering symptoms I had since the first time I caught it. I feel better than I have in a year. I haven't heard anyone else say this but me, catching it again healed my long covid
Great to hear that, happy for u and tnx for update... yes, it can happen sometimes that re-infection cure your symptoms, it isn't that rare, I think reinfection reboot your immune system so it is working again as it should.
@@shaft657I was getting better slowly with time but definitely not back to myself even 10 months later. Until I caught the covid the second time. Now I feel absolutely great again.. Wishing you good health friend 🙏
