COVID Long Hauler is Not Just About COVID
Manage episode 307674752 series 2093477
COVID Long Hauler can present with issues of the heart, breathing, neurological, and more. Truly debilitating for some.
While it’s clear that people with certain risk factors (including high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity and other conditions) are more likely to have a serious bout of COVID-19, there isn’t a clear link between these risk factors and long-term problems. In fact, long COVID can happen in people who have mild symptoms.
More studies will shed light on why these stubborn health problems persist in some people. They could be due to organ damage, a persistent inflammatory or autoimmune response or another reason.
Tune in while we talk about "going beyond the common risk factors" and delve deeper into the functional imbalances.
