Long-Covid

At least 10% of all COVID-19 pati­ents suf­fer from various per­sis­tent or new­ly occur­ring health com­plaints after a SARS-CoV‑2 infec­tion that last lon­ger than three months.

Cau­ses and sym­ptoms of Long Covid dise­a­se

Cur­rent rese­arch fin­dings point to a varie­ty of pos­si­ble cau­ses for Long Covid sym­ptoms. Inflamm­a­ti­on, auto­im­mu­ni­ty, vas­cu­lar dise­a­ses and dis­or­ders of the ner­vous sys­tem and meta­bo­lism can all be cau­ses of Long Covid dise­a­se, in addi­ti­on to long-term viral infec­tions. Just like the cau­ses, the cli­ni­cal pic­tu­re its­elf is not always clear.

Howe­ver, if the fol­lo­wing main sym­ptoms per­sist for more than four weeks after the acu­te COVID-19 infec­tion, Long Covid dise­a­se may be pre­sent:

  1. Post-viral fati­gue (tired­ness, patho­lo­gi­cal exhaus­ti­on that affects ever­y­day life)
  2. Short­ness of breath or short­ness of breath
  3. Neu­ro­co­gni­ti­ve dis­or­ders (con­cen­tra­ti­on, word-fin­ding and memo­ry dis­or­ders)

Phy­si­cal and cogni­ti­ve stress into­le­rance may also be pre­sent (mus­cle pain, hea­da­ches, long-term dete­rio­ra­ti­on in health). Loss or chan­ges in the sen­se of smell and tas­te can also be signs.

The­se sym­ptoms can occur alo­ne or in com­bi­na­ti­on and can vary in seve­ri­ty and dura­ti­on. In order to find the right tre­at­ment method, you should seek com­pre­hen­si­ve advice. We can put tog­e­ther indi­vi­du­al tre­at­ment plans and help you to impro­ve using modern the­ra­py methods.
