By now, you may have heard about people experiencing symptoms of Long Covid, or you may have even experienced them yourself.
Unfortunately, even a mild infection of Coronavirus can cause Long Covid. About 10% to 30% of Coronavirus patients experience Long Covid after recovering from the initial infection.
With such a high portion of the population experiencing Long Covid, it is reasonable to consider whether the ailment is permanent or will subside over time.
It Is Unclear Whether Long Covid is Permanent, But Certain Symptoms May Be
Since Long Covid is such a new ailment, it is unclear whether it is permanent, but most of the data suggest it shouldn’t be lifelong. However, some experts say that a rough case of Covid can cause scarring and other permanent damage to the lungs.
Similarly, even mild cases of Covid can leave you with persistent shortness of breath and easily getting winded after just light physical exertion.
Details About Long Covid
It may be possible for your lungs to recover after a Covid infection, but you must be patient, as it will likely take a while. Studies show that it can take several months for your lung function to return to pre-Covid levels.
You may be able to help speed up the recovery process through the use of breathing exercises and respiratory therapy.
