"Study: 1 in 4 American Adults Experience Long-Term Health Effects After COVID-19"

A new study reveals that 25% of American adults are experiencing lingering health issues post-COVID-19, including the risk of blood clots, with some individuals being diagnosed with May-Thurner syndrome. This condition, exacerbated by COVID-19, can lead to venous issues and blood clots due to reduced venous return, hyper-coagulant state, and vessel damage, as seen in the case of Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.

"The Mystery of Lingering Coughs: Understanding Post-Respiratory Infection Symptoms"

This virus season, many people are experiencing persistent coughs that won't go away even after testing negative for COVID-19. Physicians are seeing more cases of lingering coughs, possibly due to the aftermath of other respiratory viruses. Some believe that heightened awareness of coughs during the pandemic may be contributing to the perception of more cases. A lingering cough after a viral infection is often a sign of a lingering inflammatory response, and it's important to consult a doctor if the cough lasts more than a few weeks. COVID-19 may also impact how quickly a person recovers from subsequent colds or respiratory viruses. There's no specific treatment for a lingering cough, but hydration and hot beverages may provide relief.

"Understanding and Managing Chronic Coughs: Expert Tips for Faster Relief"

Coughs can persist for weeks after recovering from an illness due to residual inflammation or postnasal drip. Remedies include over-the-counter medications with expectorants, honey, and antihistamines. While a lingering cough is common, it's important to see a doctor if severe symptoms like fever, shortness of breath, or coughing up blood develop, or if the cough persists beyond a few weeks, especially for those with a history of respiratory problems.

Long-Term Effects of COVID: Study Reveals Persistent Symptoms in Majority of Patients After 3 Years

A new study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine found that over half of the people who recover from COVID-19 still experience lingering symptoms for up to three years. Among 1,359 COVID patients in China, 54% of them had at least one symptom three years after contracting the virus. The study also revealed that patients with long COVID had a higher risk of pneumonia or reinfection with the omicron variant. Despite the presence of lingering symptoms, the study did not find worse lung function in long COVID patients compared to those without an infection. The findings highlight the need for a clearer definition of long COVID and emphasize the importance of vaccination and boosters in reducing the risk of persistent symptoms.

The Reality of Long Colds: Similar to Long COVID

A survey of over 10,000 people published in The Lancet's EClinicalMedicine journal found that both COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses can cause lingering symptoms similar to long COVID. While symptoms such as fatigue, cough, and shortness of breath were common in both groups, people with long COVID were more likely to experience more severe complications. The study suggests that inflammation from the initial infection may contribute to these lingering symptoms. However, experts caution against comparing "long cold" to long COVID, as the severity and impact on daily life differ. Treatment for lingering cold symptoms includes rest, hydration, and gentle exercise, and individuals should seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist for an extended period.

The Lingering Impact of Long Cold Symptoms: A New Study Reveals

A new study suggests that lingering symptoms following infections such as common colds, flu, and pneumonia may be just as common as long COVID. These long colds often go undiagnosed due to the wide range of symptoms and lack of diagnostic tests, and can persist for more than four weeks after the initial infection. The study found that long COVID symptoms such as dizziness and loss of smell and taste were less common in those with long colds compared to long COVID. Other frequently reported symptoms of long COVID include cognitive dysfunction, fatigue, and breathing difficulties.

Study Reveals the Existence of 'Long Colds' with Lasting Effects, Similar to 'Long Covid'

A study conducted by Queen Mary University of London suggests that symptoms of a cold can persist beyond the initial period of illness, similar to the concept of "long Covid." The research, published in The Lancet, found that non-Covid respiratory infections may have long-lasting health impacts, although it remains unclear if the symptoms of "long colds" would last as long as those of "long Covid." The study highlights the need for better recognition and diagnosis of post-acute infection syndromes, as they often go undiagnosed due to a wide range of symptoms and lack of diagnostic tests.

Persistent Long-COVID Symptoms Persist Beyond Two Years, Study Finds

A study published in the journal Nature Medicine has found that even people with mild cases of COVID-19 can experience lingering symptoms and health problems two years after infection. The analysis, based on electronic medical records of nearly 139,000 military veterans, revealed that patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 had a higher risk of persistent health issues and death. However, individuals with mild or moderate cases were also at an elevated risk for two dozen medical conditions compared to those who never had COVID-19. The study highlights the long-term effects of the virus and the burden it continues to place on the healthcare system.
