Post-Covid syndrome: how to avoid it.

Read also:
Have you noticed that sometimes even the mildest, asymptomatic course of coronavirus drags on for several weeks, and sometimes even months. The test is already negative, but the person still feels unwell. This condition is called post-covid syndrome.
Here, we will analyze: how to detect post-covid syndrome in yourself, and most importantly, whether it can be avoided.
The symptoms of COVID are familiar to everyone — from their own experience or from their friends' stories, but we have started speaking about the post-COVID syndrome relatively recently. Although scientists from the UK National Institutes of Health described this condition back in December 2020. Post-covid syndrome, the so-called "Long COVID" (long COVID), is a protracted course of coronavirus that lasts longer than three months. The acute form of the disease passes in a couple of days, for some people it takes weeks, but the malaise due to the coronavirus can remain with a person for a long time.
This condition is recorded only in 20% of those who have recovered from COVID. However, the syndrome is new, poorly understood, therefore, it is likely that a much larger percentage of people suffer from the post-covid syndrome.

What are the symptoms of post-Covid?

The most common and mild COVID symptoms include:
As a rule, these unpleasant symptoms disappear on their own, and the person does not seek medical help. But sometimes the patient suffers from tachycardia, severe migraines, and difficulty concentrating. In rare cases, with post-COVID, the patient has vision problems, hair loss, night sweats, rashes and other symptoms that indicate that the coronavirus has not passed without a trace.
For effective rehabilitation and an early return to the usual rhythm of life, it is necessary to study the predisposition to inflammatory diseases, increased blood pressure, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, depression, increased anxiety, cognitive impairment, and the need for B vitamins.
Behind every symptom there lies a problem in a particular system of our body. And it is well-known that after COVID the body is already weakened. Will the kidneys, lungs and the nervous system cope with another load? They will, if the right measures are taken in time.
Tested negative for COVID and still experiencing at least one of the above symptoms? So, the post-COVID syndrome has not bypassed you.
If after or during the illness you have strange symptoms, whether it is a rash on the skin, wheezing, a veil in the eyes- consult a doctor.
As a laboratory diagnosis of post-covid syndrome, you will be offered a general and biochemical blood test with decoding, as well as an assessment of the level of oxygen saturation in the blood. Rospotrebnadzor also recommends spirometry — checking inhalation and exhalation, x-rays and D-dimer analysis, which shows the risk of thrombosis.
On the basis of the anamnesis and the results of the tests, the doctor will prescribe treatment and offer consultations from specialists. Thus, most often with post-covid syndrome, patients seek help from a pulmonologist, neurologist, ophthalmologist and ENT. Your malaise or poor health should not be underestimated or attributed to stress after an illness. Post-covid syndrome requires complex treatment. Since even the mildest course of COVID can be fatal due to complications that appeared after a negative test.
It is impossible to completely protect yourself from the coronavirus and the post-covid syndrome. To reduce the risks of the disease and, as a result, post-COVID, it is necessary to follow the recommendations familiar to everyone: vaccination and personal hygiene.
But it’s not all sad! There is another way to protect yourself from the severe consequences of COVID. It is known that the post-COVID syndrome "hits" the weakest parts of the body. Poor circulation — expect hair loss, you are a smoker or often get sick with bronchitis — say "hello" to pneumonia. But what if you are told that these consequences can be predicted? You won’t believe, will you? Though, they really can!

One DNA test will contain all the information on how to protect yourself as much as possible from the consequences of coronavirus. You will receive a detailed report on your health with its decoding.
Most often, post-COVID syndrome is diagnosed in people with reduced immunity. As with COVID, the most affected are:
If you are at risk, then you should think in advance about how to avoid post-COVID syndrome. And also have on hand a detailed plan of action in case of illness.
A vital digression: among the most common post-COVID symptoms are depression, anxiety, insomnia, alcohol and drug addiction. In a society where depression is treated as "just suffering from nothing to do", many are silent and even embarrassed to talk about their condition. But depression is a serious mental disorder.
Many people are genetically prone to depression, alcohol addiction, or other mental disorders. Only a trigger is needed for their manifestation. It’s COVID that can provoke these states. Being aware about the predisposition to certain diseases, the attending physician will be able to choose supportive therapy to maintain your health.
Those who have faced the complications after COVID, are worried whether it can happen again if they get sick with a different strain. Scientists still do not have an answer to this question, but recent data suggests that no one is immune from this.
As a rule, people with weak immunity are more likely to be infected. By strengthening your immune system, you protect yourself from both the coronavirus and the post-COVID syndrome.
