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.
