"New Study Identifies 12 Key Symptoms of Long COVID"

A new study funded by the National Institutes of Health has identified the 12 most common symptoms associated with long COVID, including post-exertional malaise, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms, heart palpitations, issues with sexual desire or capacity, loss of smell or taste, thirst, chronic cough, chest pain, and abnormal movements. The study examined data from 9,764 adults, including 8,646 who had COVID-19 and 1,118 who did not, and found that over 6% of Americans continue to experience and suffer from long COVID symptoms. The study authors hope their findings will serve as a foundation for scientific discovery and treatment design.
