Due to the relative newness of COVID-19, we still don't yet fully understand the long-term health complications that it can cause, but some complications that have been seen are pneumonia, septic shock, multi-organ failure and respiratory distress, often resulting in the patient being put on a ventilator. So far it has been shown to affect every individual in a different way, varying from no symptoms, or mild symptoms, to severe, life-threatening symptoms, and even causing death in thousands of people in a short time. Severe symptoms that people have experienced include difficulty breathing, constant pressure or pain in the chest, not being able to stay awake, having trouble waking up and a blue or grey tinge to the nail beds, skin or lips. COVID-19 infections can lead to people being hospitalized, placed in intensive care, requiring a ventilator to breathe, and in some cases, to death. Many patients who have been infected with COVID-19 have reported having lingering symptoms for several months even after the virus has left their system. At Express Healthcare in Berwyn Heights MD, we are able to help patients manage their COVID-19 symptoms and watch for signs of complications.
