If you are experiencing any issues after having COVID-19 such as persistent shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, or ongoing symptoms, you can get care now from \nBaptist Health's long COVID program via a virtual visit with a provider.\n \nWhat Is Long COVID?\nLong COVID, or long term COVID,\nis a medical condition in which the symptoms of COVID-19 linger for more than four weeks. Persons with long COVID are also referred to as suffering from\npost-COVID syndrome\n. Most individuals with COVID-19 recover in a matter of weeks, but evidence is growing that, at least some of the time, the disease is linked to a variety of long-term complications. Some symptoms appear with the initial infection, while others manifest after a delay. Scientists do not currently understand the reason for the disparity in recovery times. The hope is as research continues, we learn more about appropriate treatment methods that are able to assist in managing the condition.\nAn estimated 35 million Americans have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some percentage of those infected will become COVID “long haulers,” experiencing symptoms lasting as much as a year or more. To learn more about COVID-19 and the risk of developing long COVID, contact your local Baptist Health physician. \nAre you experiencing side effects after COVID-19 and don't know how to get answers? You can get the care you need through Baptist Health's long COVID-19 program, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a virtual visit from a Baptist Health provider. \nStart Your Video Visit Now.\nUrgent Care Video Visits\nLong COVID symptoms vary widely, with many of them similar to those of the initial infection. Some after COVID symptoms include:\nDulled senses (loss of taste and smell)\nFatigue, especially after physical exertion\nHeadache\nCoughing\nFever\nDizziness\nLabored breathing\nHeart palpitations\nLoss of focus (“brain fog”)\nChest pain\nJoint and muscle pain\nAnxiety\nDepression\nAlthough COVID-19 is chiefly a respiratory disease, long COVID can impact organs other than the lungs. This is because the SARS-CoV-2 virus contains an enzyme, ACE2, that attaches itself to cells in a variety of tissues. Long COVID has been linked to damaged heart muscles, blood clots, strokes, seizures, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney and skin problems, autoimmune conditions, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome.\nCOVID side effects can also have negative impact on psychological health, including increased incidences of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).\nHow Is Long COVID Managed?\nWith the growing awareness of long COVID, medical researchers are working on ways to diagnose and manage this condition. (Diagnosis is complicated by the fact that long COVID symptoms mirror those of several other diseases.) Diagnosis involves:\nLearning from patients by interacting with those who are suffering from unexpected or recurrent medical problems related to a COVID-19 infection\nUtilizing best-practice methods to address the health conditions exhibited by these individuals\nTaking a multidisciplinary approach to the provision of care.\nLong COVID, \nor post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2\n, can last for many weeks or even months. Some individuals eventually recover but others continue to deal with chronic symptoms.  \nThose with post COVID symptoms can seek care through \nBaptist Health Virtual Care visits\n today.\nPreventing Long COVID-19 from Baptist Health\nThe best way to prevent long COVID is to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.\nHow to Get Care for Long COVID\nIf you're experiencing afters effects of COVID-19 and don't know where to get started, Baptist Health is here to help.

If you are experiencing any issues after having COVID-19 such as persistent shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, or ongoing symptoms, you can get care now from [Baptist Health's long COVID program via a virtual visit with a provider.](https:\/\/www.baptisthealth.com\/care-services\/conditions-treatments\/longterm-covid19#virtual)\n\n## What Is Long COVID?\n***Long COVID, or long term COVID,*** is a medical condition in which the symptoms of COVID-19 linger for more than four weeks. Persons with long COVID are also referred to as suffering from *post-COVID syndrome*. Most individuals with COVID-19 recover in a matter of weeks, but evidence is growing that, at least some of the time, the disease is linked to a variety of long-term complications. Some symptoms appear with the initial infection, while others manifest after a delay. Scientists do not currently understand the reason for the disparity in recovery times. The hope is as research continues, we learn more about appropriate treatment methods that are able to assist in managing the condition.\n\nAn estimated 35 million Americans have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some percentage of those infected will become COVID “long haulers,” experiencing symptoms lasting as much as a year or more. To learn more about COVID-19 and the risk of developing long COVID, contact your local Baptist Health physician.\n\n> Are you experiencing side effects after COVID-19 and don't know how to get answers?

Some after COVID symptoms include:\n\n- Dulled senses (loss of taste and smell)\n- Fatigue, especially after physical exertion\n- Headache\n- Coughing\n- Fever\n- Dizziness\n- Labored breathing\n- Heart palpitations\n- Loss of focus (“brain fog”)\n- Chest pain\n- Joint and muscle pain\n- Anxiety\n- Depression\n\nAlthough COVID-19 is chiefly a respiratory disease, long COVID can impact organs other than the lungs. This is because the SARS-CoV-2 virus contains an enzyme, ACE2, that attaches itself to cells in a variety of tissues. Long COVID has been linked to damaged heart muscles, blood clots, strokes, seizures, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney and skin problems, autoimmune conditions, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome.\n\nCOVID side effects can also have negative impact on psychological health, including increased incidences of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).\n\n## How Is Long COVID Managed?\nWith the growing awareness of long COVID, medical researchers are working on ways to diagnose and manage this condition. (Diagnosis is complicated by the fact that long COVID symptoms mirror those of several other diseases.) Diagnosis involves:\n\n- Learning from patients by interacting with those who are suffering from unexpected or recurrent medical problems related to a COVID-19 infection\n- Utilizing best-practice methods to address the health conditions exhibited by these individuals\n- Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the provision of care.\n\nLong COVID, *or post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2*, can last for many weeks or even months.

Baptist Health has developed a program for patients that had COVID-19 and are still experiencing symptoms or do not feel they have fully recovered, also known as after COVID symptoms. If you are experiencing any issues after having COVID-19 such as persistent shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, or ongoing symptoms, you can get care now from Baptist Health's long COVID program via a virtual visit with a provider. What Is Long COVID? Long COVID, or long term COVID, is a medical condition in which the symptoms of COVID-19 linger for more than four weeks. Persons with long COVID are also referred to as suffering from post-COVID syndrome . Most individuals with COVID-19 recover in a matter of weeks, but evidence is growing that, at least some of the time, the disease is linked to a variety of long-term complications. Some symptoms appear with the initial infection, while others manifest after a delay. Scientists do not currently understand the reason for the disparity in recovery times. The hope is as research continues, we learn more about appropriate treatment methods that are able to assist in managing the condition. An estimated 35 million Americans have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some percentage of those infected will become COVID “long haulers,” experiencing symptoms lasting as much as a year or more. To learn more about COVID-19 and the risk of developing long COVID, contact your local Baptist Health physician. Are you experiencing side effects after COVID-19 and don't know how to get answers? You can get the care you need through Baptist Health's long COVID-19 program, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a virtual visit from a Baptist Health provider. Start Your Video Visit Now. Urgent Care Video Visits Long COVID symptoms vary widely, with many of them similar to those of the initial infection. Some after COVID symptoms include: Dulled senses (loss of taste and smell) Fatigue, especially after physical exertion Headache Coughing Fever Dizziness Labored breathing Heart palpitations Loss of focus (“brain fog”) Chest pain Joint and muscle pain Anxiety Depression Although COVID-19 is chiefly a respiratory disease, long COVID can impact organs other than the lungs. This is because the SARS-CoV-2 virus contains an enzyme, ACE2, that attaches itself to cells in a variety of tissues. Long COVID has been linked to damaged heart muscles, blood clots, strokes, seizures, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney and skin problems, autoimmune conditions, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome. COVID side effects can also have negative impact on psychological health, including increased incidences of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). How Is Long COVID Managed? With the growing awareness of long COVID, medical researchers are working on ways to diagnose and manage this condition. (Diagnosis is complicated by the fact that long COVID symptoms mirror those of several other diseases.) Diagnosis involves: Learning from patients by interacting with those who are suffering from unexpected or recurrent medical problems related to a COVID-19 infection Utilizing best-practice methods to address the health conditions exhibited by these individuals Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the provision of care. Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2 , can last for many weeks or even months. Some individuals eventually recover but others continue to deal with chronic symptoms. Those with post COVID symptoms can seek care through Baptist Health Virtual Care visits today. Preventing Long COVID-19 from Baptist Health The best way to prevent long COVID is to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.

Baptist Health has developed a program for patients that had COVID-19 and are still experiencing symptoms or do not feel they have fully recovered, also known as after COVID symptoms. If you are experiencing any issues after having COVID-19 such as persistent shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, or ongoing symptoms, you can get care now from [Baptist Health's long COVID program via a virtual visit with a provider.](https://www.baptisthealth.com/care-services/conditions-treatments/longterm-covid19#virtual) ## What Is Long COVID? *Long COVID, or long term COVID,* is a medical condition in which the symptoms of COVID-19 linger for more than four weeks. Persons with long COVID are also referred to as suffering from post-COVID syndrome. Most individuals with COVID-19 recover in a matter of weeks, but evidence is growing that, at least some of the time, the disease is linked to a variety of long-term complications. Some symptoms appear with the initial infection, while others manifest after a delay. Scientists do not currently understand the reason for the disparity in recovery times. The hope is as research continues, we learn more about appropriate treatment methods that are able to assist in managing the condition. An estimated 35 million Americans have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some percentage of those infected will become COVID “long haulers,” experiencing symptoms lasting as much as a year or more. To learn more about COVID-19 and the risk of developing long COVID, contact your local Baptist Health physician. > Are you experiencing side effects after COVID-19 and don't know how to get answers? You can get the care you need through Baptist Health's long COVID-19 program, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a virtual visit from a Baptist Health provider. Start Your Video Visit Now. [Urgent Care Video Visits](https://www.baptisthealth.com/care-services/types-of-care/urgent-care/urgent-care-video-visits) ## Long COVID Symptoms & Side Effects Long COVID symptoms vary widely, with many of them similar to those of the initial infection. Some after COVID symptoms include: - Dulled senses (loss of taste and smell) - Fatigue, especially after physical exertion - Headache - Coughing - Fever - Dizziness - Labored breathing - Heart palpitations - Loss of focus (“brain fog”) - Chest pain - Joint and muscle pain - Anxiety - Depression Although COVID-19 is chiefly a respiratory disease, long COVID can impact organs other than the lungs. This is because the SARS-CoV-2 virus contains an enzyme, ACE2, that attaches itself to cells in a variety of tissues. Long COVID has been linked to damaged heart muscles, blood clots, strokes, seizures, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney and skin problems, autoimmune conditions, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome. COVID side effects can also have negative impact on psychological health, including increased incidences of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). ## How Is Long COVID Managed? With the growing awareness of long COVID, medical researchers are working on ways to diagnose and manage this condition. (Diagnosis is complicated by the fact that long COVID symptoms mirror those of several other diseases.) Diagnosis involves: - Learning from patients by interacting with those who are suffering from unexpected or recurrent medical problems related to a COVID-19 infection - Utilizing best-practice methods to address the health conditions exhibited by these individuals - Taking a multidisciplinary approach to the provision of care. Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2, can last for many weeks or even months. Some individuals eventually recover but others continue to deal with chronic symptoms. Those with post COVID symptoms can seek care through [Baptist Health Virtual Care visits](https://www.baptisthealth.com/care-services/conditions-treatments/longterm-covid19#virtual) today. ### Preventing Long COVID-19 from Baptist Health The best way to prevent long COVID is to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. ## How to Get Care for Long COVID If you're experiencing afters effects of COVID-19 and don't know where to get started, Baptist Health is here to help.
