RADARSOLO.ID Fatigue or fatigue is the most common symptom found in post-Covid syndrome, even this complaint is still felt after 100 days of exposure to the Corona virus.
In patients who had experienced severe lung conditions when exposed to Covid-19, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), two-thirds of them felt significant complaints of fatigue after a year of exposure to Covid-19.
Complaints that are felt are very similar to the chronic fatigue syndrome. Consists of fatigue that makes the body helpless, pain, experiencing neurocognitive disability, sleep disturbances, symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, and worsening physical and cognitive conditions.
“Conditions of hypertension, obesity, and mental health disorders are some of the risk factors for someone experiencing post-Covid syndrome,” said Dr Hikmat Pramukti, SpPD, internal medicine specialist at Pondok Indah Hospital, Pondok Indah, Saturday (27/11) .
Hikmat said the exact cause of post-Covid syndrome was still being observed. Some say that this symptom occurs due to damage to organs caused by the virus and residual inflammation that is still ongoing even though the virus is no longer present.
To overcome the symptoms of fatigue, the first thing that Covid-19 survivors can do is find out which source or organ underlies this complaint. For example, is it due to conditions in the heart, lungs, a combination of both, or is it a decrease in the body’s functional capacity due to severe Covid-19 infection.
After conducting a series of in-depth examinations regarding the perceived complaints, then the treatment of the underlying organ condition can be carried out so that the management is right on target.
