How Can I Tell If I’ve Got Long COVID?

Most of us have heard or read about it. Some of us may even have a friend or family member suffering from it. But how can you tell if you have the long form of COVId-19?

Experts say long COVID means your symptoms (fatigue, chest pain, cough, brain fog, etc.) last longer then 4 weeks. There is no specific test for long COVID yet. What’s more, there is no specific treatment for it either. The good news is that only a minority of COVID patients develop the long form of the disease. The less severe your initial symptoms, the less likely you are to have long COVID. Also, most cases do recover their full health within 3 months. Rest and paring back on your daily activities can help you recover more quickly.

As always, consult your physician should you feel you have long COVID. And we wish you a speedy recovery!
