There are numerous symptoms that can arise from a COVID infection, and many of these symptoms can linger. Some people—suffering from what’s come to be known as "long COVID"—find themselves facing enduring symptoms and new complications months after their illness.
Long term symptoms:
Cardiac:
• Short-term COVID patients who experienced this: .5 percent
• Long-term COVID patients who experienced this: 6.1 percent
Memory and concentration: Short-term COVID patients who experienced this: .2 percent
Ringing ears (Tinnitus) and earache:
• Short-term COVID patients who experienced this: .2 percent
• Long-term COVID patients who experienced this: 3.6 percent
Peripheral neuropathy symptoms:
• Short-term COVID patients who experienced this: .5 percent
• Long-term COVID patients who experienced this: 2 percent
Other study (COVID Symptom Study) suggests that urticaria rashes (otherwise known as hives) can present early on during a COVID infection but also can arise later on when a patient is no longer contagious. Most recently, some long COVID patients are reporting a disturbing new symptom: peeling hands.
Key Takeaway:
Take Covid-19 seriously.
