Common symptoms
Post-COVID-19 complications vary greatly, with the most common symptoms being constant fatigue and exhaustion, lack of energy and motivation, and problems with concentration. Other common symptoms include headache, difficulty sleeping, chest pain, joint and muscle pain, heart palpitations, a cough and changes to the sense of smell or taste.
Older people may experience worsening of their health condition, along with decreased physical performance. In some cases, they may lose interest in food and drink. Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and psychological distress are also common post-COVID-19 complications.
About the test
After acute COVID-19, most people recover within a few weeks. However, often some symptoms of the disease persist for three months or even longer. This is known as post-COVID-19 syndrome. According to a study conducted in a local community in Bangladesh, about 18.5% of people reported some COVID-related symptoms .
Blood tests allow us to determine whether your post-COVID health issues are caused by an underlying disease, or it may just take time, healthy lifestyle choices and physical exercise to overcome your symptoms.
COVID-19 symptoms and complications which persist three months post-infection can be caused by chronic inflammation, abnormal immune system activity or other underlying health conditions unrelated to COVID-19.
