Common long COVID symptoms to watch out for

 Some of the most common long COVID symptoms apart from fatigue and breathlessness include:

- Cough

- Joint pain

- Chest pain

- Sleep problems

- Headache

- Brain fog

- Tingling sensation in the body

- Heart problems

Apart from the symptoms and the duration of long COVID, the study also found certain risk factors that could tell who is more likely to develop the long term COVID condition.

According to the researchers, patients over 50 years requiring hospitalisation and showcasing four or more symptoms are likely to have persistent symptoms months after recovery.

The researchers said, ""Patients with advanced age, ICU stay and multiple symptoms at onset were more likely to suffer from long-term symptoms, which had a negative impact on both physical and mental wellbeing.

"This study contributes to identifying the target populations and long Covid consequences for planning long-term recovery interventions," they added.
