Basically, any patient who has suffered from covid-19 whether he has had mild symptoms or severe symptoms, whether he had a short duration of disease or prolonged illness, whether he was treated home or in the hospital, after clearing the infection there can be many problems which can happen with the patient


Patients who have fought hard with the dreaded covid-19 disease and are admitted in ICU or in hospitals & with their will and with the support of their medical team have recovered may feel many difficulties in rehabilitation and gaining back to normal life. These patients may require months to recover fully or they may never reach their previous level of fitness. These patients who are serious with covid-19 require special care with their doctors for their post covid symptoms


But today we will discuss a different type of post covid syndrome in which people who have got infected with covid-19 and have had very mild disease and uneventful course and this patient also suffer from various problems after becoming COVID negative and get unduly anxious and stressed.

What to Do for Post Covid Syndrome? - Heart Specialist in indore - Dr. Siddhant Jain

Patients should identify abnormal symptoms after recovery soon and should contact their doctors within 2 weeks of recovery if problems persist.


Patients who have pre-existing chronic diseases like diabetes, high Blood pressure or heart disease need to consult their doctors on priority for re-evaluation and to readjust their medicines.


The doctor may do some tests like ECG or x-ray. Post covid tachycardia often called as POTS or inappropriate sinus tachycardia is very common and cardiologist often prescribes beta-blocker or SA node blocker drugs for them. 


Post covid blood clot formation is increased and can lead to heart attacks, strokes or clots in lungs or limbs. For this now blood thinners are routinely given to all covid patients post-discharge. they should be careful about clots and also about drug-induced bleeding. 


The most important symptoms not to miss are headache around the eyes and swelling in the area around the eye and nose. This should be reported immediately to your doctor as this can be a sign of infection by Mucormycosis or black fungus, which is very dangerous and life-threatening if not treated. 


Will Post Covid Syndrome Go Away? 


Although these symptoms are troubling and create a lot of anxiety most of these symptoms are transient and the body heals itself slowly. Most patients can regain their normal health and active life by paying attention to their medical care, diet, exercise and rest and by maintaining a positive outlook.
