I must tell you that my patients who have COVID still months later do not feel well. You would think the main long term problems would be respiratory, but that is not the only issue. Many of my patients have memory issues and ‘ brain fog’ they never had before I can understand chronic fatigue, muscle aches and breathlessness after the virus. What I do not understand is why these symptoms are still there 2 months later.
One of the symptoms include breathlessness walking up stairs, These are healthy individuals whom never had asthma, lung or heart problems. This is not only the older population that had COVCID and survived. This is my younger population.
We do know it is NOT only a respiratory disease. It is a multisystem disease that has effected kidneys, brain, liber, heart and GI tract. Most of the CPVID cases have been mild in the office setting, but 20 % do have severe symptoms. In my practice I lost 12 patients to COVID with ages from 41 - 87.
Be careful . Follow guidelines and use a mask
Until tomorrow…
