Post COVID Syndrome

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may take weeks to overcome; however, in some patients, symptoms persist even after the original infection (1). Despite passing months after the first case of COVID-19, scientists are facing long-term complications. This disease can cause heart failure, neurological diseases, such as stroke, and lung disease. Symptoms include fatigue and brain fog, which may be related to cytokines that cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and affect the brain. These symptoms should be seriously considered because they may reflect the post-viral syndrome associated with COVID-19 (1). Moreover, difficulty in reading, insomnia, general myalgia, dry skin, and increased anxiety are other common symptoms (1).
