The results of the survey of patients who underwent COVID-19

Abstract

Sources indicate that being infected with COVID-19 leaves patients with undesirable symptoms that form a new disease - post-covid syndrome. We examined the health status of 155 people who suffered a coronavirus infection. Informed consent to the study was obtained from all participants. They were interviewed, asked to fill out a series of questionnaires to assess symptoms and quality of life, and underwent a medical examination. Our results showed that after 8 months, people who have had COVID-19 complain about the symptoms of post-covid syndrome. At the same time, the most common clinical manifestations were sleep disorders (50.9%), hypertension (47.7%), weakness (33.5%), dizziness (32.9%), shortness of breath (27.7%), headaches (24.5%), gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, abdominal pain) (18.7%). Our statistical analysis showed a significant dependence of increased blood pressure (1.7 times higher) with the degree of lung damage.
