Ep36: Post COVID-19 Complications: Are You a "Long Hauler"?
Manage episode 294249837 series 2887269
The media spawned names like "long-COVID19" and "long hauler". Both of these terms refer to the same thing: post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACs). If you are experiencing persistent symptoms 4 weeks after your initial diagnosis of COVID-19, you're considered a long hauler. Symptoms could include headache, loss of smell or taste, depression or anxiety, memory, concentration or difficulty breathing, cough, joint pain, and fatigue. Tune in to learn more about what we know so far about PACs and what we can do to speed up recovery from PACs.

Music: "Curious" by Bonsai Mammal. Written by Andrew Southwell and Jimmy Harry.
