We have heard often about long COVID, symptoms that linger long after the virus has left the body. Here, Dr Vinaya Gowda, MBBS, MS writes in detail about his long COVID experience
Explanation:
My long COVID journey started right after the first dose of Covishield vaccine. What I thought could be a reaction to the vaccine soon realised it’s not when my symptoms didn’t seem to subside even after two weeks. I never really realized then it’s a long frustrating path to follow.
My initial symptoms were palpitations, dizziness, breathlessness and fatigue. After the initial evaluation, I was told everything was ‘normal’. It’s not a nice thing to hear when you are in actual physical pain. I understood that tests showed nothing. But there was something which made me sick. I thought I would either find out what it is or get better. I was definitely hoping for the latter. Meanwhile there was something which made me suffer through hell as everything was put down to anxiety. I wasn’t investigated to rule out all possible causes to come to such a conclusion either. Even if it was true I was just looking for a solution not just a brand of being ‘anxious’. I also realised how poorly one is treated if one actually had such a problem. I went on to investigate myself further.
