Brain Damage Effects You Could Experience During Long Covid

Fuzzy thoughts and mental fatigue could be experienced during the long COVID.

Patients with COVID-19 often make a full recovery in a matter of weeks, on average. Despite this, some people continue to experience specific symptoms even after they have fully recovered from their illness. “Long COVID” or “post-COVID-19 syndrome” is a term used to describe the symptoms experienced by these individuals, sometimes known as “long haulers”.

Fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache, dizziness, and trouble breathing are all frequent indications and symptoms of COVID-19. In fact, COVID-19 appears to have a distinct lack of smell or flavour and can cause damage to numerous organs other than the lungs. The most concerning effect is brain damage. 

Long COVID can impact 3/10 patients with COVID-19. About three-quarters of those infected experience cognitive or neurological symptoms for months.

Patients with prolonged COVID have been found to have multisystem involvement that lasted for months or even years. Neurological and psychological symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, sleeplessness, delirium, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, OCD, and anxiety can be caused by long COVID.

A cloudy-headed feeling known as “brain fog” is one of the most unpleasant sensations of our everyday work lives. As a result, the potential to perform everyday tasks, such as thinking or making decisions more slowly than usual, being easily distracted with reduced focus and having difficulty organising thoughts or activities is regarded as a lingering problem that affects daily life. Short-term memory loss, such as missing everyday duties or losing an idea, may occur in certain cases.
