Dysautonomia
The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature control. Dysautonomia disrupts these vital functions, leading to a range of debilitating symptoms.
Nervous System | Neurological
Neurological involvement in long COVID encompasses a range of symptoms affecting the nervous system. Patients may experience cognitive difficulties (brain fog), headaches, dizziness, neuropathic pain, and sensory disturbances. Neurological manifestations can persist for months, impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Management involves multidisciplinary care, including neurologists, physical therapists, and cognitive specialists, to address symptoms comprehensively and support recovery.
