Doctors say there is a risk of respiratory, heart and kidney problems. But also the appearance of blood clots that can cause strokes or heart attack.
Coronavirus attacks many organs, not just the lungs. The skin, muscles, eyes, heart and kidneys can also be affected, doctors say. And patients complain of fatigue, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, confusion, headaches and hallucinations.
Those most prone to long-term side effects are those who have needed intubation and long hospitalization. However, data from the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden show that patients with mild forms are difficult to recover by 15%. Therefore, a complete medical evaluation in the first weeks after healing is very important.
According to a study done in Italy, conducted on a group of healed people, more than half reported persistent fatigue. Almost as many have reported difficulty breathing. One-third, joint pain and almost a quarter chest pain. That is why a cardiological evaluation is very important. So check your health if you have suffered from Covid-19.
