Fatigue
One of the most common post Covid side effects is fatigue. People who have had the virus often report feeling more tired than usual, even after a full night's sleep. This can be due to the virus attacking the body, resulting in the body needing more rest to recover. Additionally, the virus can also cause inflammation and damage to the lungs, which can make breathing more difficult and put strain on the body.
Breathing Difficulties
Another common post Covid side effect is breathing difficulties. Difficulty breathing can be due to the virus damaging the respiratory system, making it harder to take in air. Additionally, the virus can also cause inflammation in the lungs, which can make breathing more difficult. In some cases, people may even need to use oxygen to help them breathe.
Cognitive Impairment
Cognitive impairment is another post Covid side effect that can occur. This can include difficulty concentrating, impaired memory, and difficulty processing information. This can be due to the virus attacking the brain, resulting in difficulty with cognitive tasks. Additionally, some people experience post Covid depression or anxiety, which can also lead to cognitive impairment.
Heart Damage
Some people may also experience heart damage as a post Covid side effect. The virus can cause inflammation of the heart, which can lead to damage over time. Additionally, the virus can also cause blood clots, which can lead to heart attack and stroke.
Long-Term Effects
It is still unclear what the long-term effects of Covid-19 may be, as the virus is still relatively new. However, some experts believe that long-term side effects may include fatigue, breathing difficulties, cognitive impairment, and heart damage. Additionally, some people may also experience long-term psychological effects, such as depression or anxiety.
