Those with Long-haul CoVid, sometimes called Post Acute Sequelae of SARS-Covid2 or PASC, suffer from a distinct pattern of signs and symptoms.  A collaborative study of 5562 American CoVid survivors was led by researchers at the University of Miami and UC-Irvine.

 

The analysis revealed 5 characteristic findings in CoVid Long-haulers.  These included: persistent cold and flu-like symptoms; abnormal smell and taste senses; shortness of breath and/or chest pain; problems with thinking, memory, and vision; and cardiac symptoms.

 

Being aware of these presenting symptoms and signs will help you recognize whether you are suffering from Long CoVid.  They will also help your medical teams make the diagnosis and prescribe effective therapy.
