What is long Covid and what are the symptoms?
problems with memory and concentration Surveys have identified tens and even hundreds of other complaints. Probably the largest study so far, by University College London , identified 200 symptoms affecting 10 organ systems in people with long Covid, at higher levels than in people who were fully recovered.
The virus itself getting into and damaging our cells might explain some symptoms like brain fog and a loss of smell and taste, while damage to blood vessels in particular could lead to heart, lung and brain problems.Another theory is that fragments of the virus could remain in the body, possibly lying dormant and then becoming reactivated.
Some, but not all, long Covid symptoms are more common in people who were very ill or ended up in hospital. And Dr David Strain at the University of Exeter Medical School, who works with patients with long Covid, said most people being referred to his clinic were in their 20s, 30s and 40s. That might be because these symptoms, though slightly less common in younger people, have a bigger impact on them.
