Postcovid syndrome or postcovid – What is this disease, symptoms, danger, treatment

Coronavirus, seems, retreated, but now many are trying to live with its consequences - post-COVID. Scientists have conducted large-scale studies of this condition and here is what they found out.

Post-COVID affects physical and psychological well-being. It's a known fact, but the Glasgow British Heart Foundation team identified myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) every eighth study participant, who was hospitalized after being infected. Besides, people with “long covid” experience fatigue, depression, fog and headaches, as well as a number of other symptoms.

Medical workers were more likely to have myocarditis after covid. According to scientists, due to the fact, that in a pandemic they receive a large viral load. Together with them, people are at risk, having acute kidney injury, and patients with severe covid.

Every seventh patient, who had previously been hospitalized with covid, died or was hospitalized again. And two out of three were forced to seek outpatient medical care again..

Post-Covid predominantly affects women. At the same time, the female gender became "an unambiguous associative factor in diagnosed myocarditis". This disease itself, in turn, impairs mental and physical well-being.

Why Post-Covid Occurs? Scientists believe, that our immune system may react incorrectly to the virus when it is detected - because of this, probably, and develop severe covid or post-covid.

Another version: even after recovery, the genetic material of the virus remains in the body. Where exactly is he hiding?, leaving the respiratory system, exactly not known, but, according to the new theory, it could be the gut. As a result, a person does not infect anyone, however, the remnants of the virus provoke symptoms for months and lead to a “long covid”.
