Recovery program after COVID
Complications after a history of COVID-19
In a history of coronavirus disease, which often results in bronchopneumonia and adversely affects the heart and other organs, whether in hospital or at home, the recovered patient may continue to have the following complications for a long time (months):
- Difficulty breathing
- Feeling you are not getting enough air
- Tension in the lungs
- Feeling short of breath
- Urges for expectoration
- Cough
- Disorders of the cardiovascular system
- Feeling tired after short physical activities
Increased shortness of breath forms a vicious circle, as it leads to reduced activity, which increases social isolation and can lead to depression, which in turn further increases shortness of breath.
