In others, however, the long-term effects of COVID-19 can cause persistent health issues even after their fever and cough have subsided, and they no longer test positive for the illness. Sometimes symptoms may last longer. This condition is known as &#8216;long COVID&#8217; or &#8216;post-COVID-19 syndrome&#8217; and refers to the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection that can last from weeks to months. The people who experience long COVID are called &#8216;long-haulers&#8217; and include individuals with both mild and severe cases of COVID-19. The majority of long-haulers test negative for COVID-19 despite persistent symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Long COVID: How Common Is It?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cidrap.umn.edu\/covid-19\/covid-19-symptoms-often-linger-6-months-or-more-study-finds\">ref. link<\/a>)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> indicates that 50 to 80% of people who recover from COVID-19 experience at least some lingering side effects three months after coronavirus infection. D<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ata<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that 7.5% of adults in the U.S., or about 1 in 13 people, will experience long COVID symptoms. According to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> British researchers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/370\/bmj.m3026\">ref. link<\/a>)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, about 10% of COVID-19 survivors that are hospitalized can have long-term health issues. Women reported symptoms at higher rates than men. They made up 72% of the COVID-19 long-haulers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Long Haulers or Long COVID Patients: Why Should You Monitor Your Heart Health?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long COVID patients should monitor their heart health because COVID-19 has been shown to have potential cardiovascular effects, such as heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) and blood clots. Additionally, the prolonged stress and fatigue associated with long COVID can also have an impact on heart health. By monitoring heart health, long COVID patients can detect and address any potential issues early on, which can help prevent further complications and improve overall recovery. This can include monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and other cardiovascular risk factors and being aware of any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. Track your heart health with a Smart Heart Monitor like the Frontier X2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Long COVID symptoms: What are the symptoms to watch out for?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People with long COVID have a wide range of symptoms that vary from person to person. They can last weeks, months, or even years after infection. According to a survey by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Natalie Lambert<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a California study, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/what-is-long-covid-and-what-are-its-symptoms\/\">long COVID symptoms<\/a> can appear at regular intervals, often a week or ten days apart. These are the most commonly reported symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>General symptoms:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue or tiredness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms that worsen after physical or mental exertion.

This is because the PCR test detects the virus&#8217;s genetic material and not necessarily the presence of a live virus. However, it&#8217;s also possible that you would test negative on a PCR test if you have long COVID, as the viral load in your body may be low enough that the test does not detect it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How long does it take to recover from long COVID?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovery from long COVID can vary. Some symptoms may improve rapidly, while others may persist longer. Your physician can help you manage your symptoms effectively. The recovery time for long COVID can vary significantly from person to person. Some people may recover within a few weeks or months, while others may experience symptoms for much longer. Some symptoms may be chronic and persist for months or even years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Heart Health Topics To Explore:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/what-are-the-benefits-of-aquatic-exercise-for-heart-health\/\">Aquatic Exercise for Heart Health<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/yoga-for-a-healthy-heart-what-are-the-benefits-of-yoga-for-the-heart\/\">Yoga for Heart Health<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/silent-heart-attack-what-are-the-risks\/\">Silent heart attack<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/what-is-the-purpose-and-procedure-of-a-heart-stress-test\/\">Stress Test for Heart<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/stress-and-heart-rate-variability-how-does-stress-affect-hrv\/\">Stress and Heart Rate Variability<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/does-mental-stress-affect-the-heart\/\">Mental Stress<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/what-are-the-early-signs-of-a-heart-attack\/\">Heart Attack Symptoms<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/does-acid-reflux-cause-heart-palpitations\/\">Heart Palpitations Causes<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/can-nausea-increase-your-heart-rate\/\">Increased Heart rate<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Frontier X2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fourthfrontier.com\/products\/frontier-x?utm_source=FFBLOG&#038;utm_medium=FF_ARTICLE&#038;utm_campaign=FF_ARTICLE_HEART_HEALTH&#038;utm_id=ORGANIC\">Smart Heart ECG Monitor in USA<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/in.fourthfrontier.com\/products\/frontier-x?utm_source=FFBLOG&#038;utm_medium=FF_ARTICLE&#038;utm_campaign=FF_ARTICLE_HEART_HEALTH&#038;utm_id=ORGANIC\">ECG Machine Price in India<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.fourthfrontier.com\/products\/frontier-x?utm_source=FFBLOG&#038;utm_medium=FF_ARTICLE&#038;utm_campaign=FF_ARTICLE_HEART_HEALTH&#038;utm_id=ORGANIC\">Best Heart Rate Monitor UK<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mild or moderate COVID-19 infection lasts approximately two weeks in most patients.
