Post-COVID Syndrome, also known as Long COVID, refers to symptoms that persist for weeks or months after recovering from COVID-19. While the initial infection may resolve, some people experience lingering effects that impact multiple body systems.

Common symptoms include: - Extreme fatigue, even after rest. - Brain fog or difficulty concentrating. - Shortness of breath, cough, or chest pain. - Heart palpitations or changes in heart rate. - Headaches, joint or muscle pain. - Changes in smell or taste.

The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but Long COVID may result from persistent inflammation, immune system responses, or lingering effects on the nervous system. Some cases may also affect the joints, tendons, and ligaments, causing ongoing pain or stiffness.

Anyone can develop Post-COVID Syndrome, but individuals who had severe COVID symptoms or underlying health conditions may be at a higher risk.

Managing symptoms focuses on gradual recovery and daily function: - Pacing activities to avoid overexertion. - Targeted physical therapy to improve strength and mobility. - Specialist care, including pulmonology, neurology, or cardiology, depending on symptoms. - Medications may help relieve symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, or inflammation.

Recovery varies for each person, but working with a medical team can improve quality of life over time. In addition to traditional treatments, regenerative medicine options, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections or biologic therapies using fat or bone marrow-derived cells, may help reduce inflammation and support healing.
