Many people have heard the term "long-hauler" associated with COVID in the last few years, but what exactly does that mean?
According to Cleveland Clinic, "One study states that about 10% of people who've had COVID-19 will experience prolonged symptoms one, two or even three months after they were infected. This group, which many refer to as 'long-haulers', is mixed with those who experienced both mild and severe cases. And this condition can affect anyone - young, old, those who were healthy, those who had a chronic condition, those who were hospitalized and those who weren't."
Recent studies have shown that people who suffer from "long-haulers" are complaining of the following symptoms:
Fatigue
Dizziness
Balance issues
Fainting
High heart rate
Blood pressure changes
Mental health issues (anxiety, depression, OCD, etc.)
Vision issues
Gut dysfunction
Sleeping issues
Dysautonomia
Changes in smell
Changes in taste
