A new study revealed that people with mild cases of the Coronavirus may usually feel fatigued and malaise after months, and the study published on the American website found (HealthDay), Which was conducted on patients in an Irish medical center, that 62% said that they had not returned to their “full health” when they had a follow-up appointment a few months after their diagnosis of Corona, and nearly half of them complained of constant fatigue.
Surprisingly, the severity of the initial Corona infection to patients was not a factor, as people who were able to be treated at home were more likely to feel unwell, like those who were hospitalized.
Mild symptoms of corona and long-term effects–
Some recent studies estimate that 10% of Corona patients complain of intractable problems such as fatigue, insomnia, shortness of breath and “brain fog” (problems with memory, concentration and other mental skills).
“The number one complaint that we see is fatigue, and the second is brain fog,” the researchers said. “People who suffer from a more serious and long-term disease are more susceptible to long-term effects.”
In the new study, a large percentage of patients with mild coronavirus still feel unwell when they visit their doctor after more than two months, but the researchers indicated that this may be because patients with chronic symptoms are more likely to set a follow-up appointment.
The study has been published in a journal Annals of the American Thoracic Society It was performed at St James’ Hospital in Dublin, and doctors evaluated 153 patients diagnosed with Corona between March and May 2020, and then returned for a long-term follow-up appointment – usually after 75 days, nearly half of them were hospitalized, while the rest recovered in Home.
Overall, the majority of patients felt that they had not regained their normal health level, including two-thirds of patients who were able to handle them at home, and both hospitalized patients and patients under home administration reported similar levels of fatigue in a standardized questionnaire.
Although many patients reported shortness of breath during treadmill walking tests, only 4% had an abnormal chest X-ray, and all of them were taken to hospital, and the team said this indicates that breathing problems were often not. Associated with persistent lung damage.
Alternatively, he added, it could be caused by fatigue and a decline in the cardiovascular and muscular system.
