According to a recent study, Covid patients have an increased risk of stroke, nervous system ailment, mental health problems, the onset of diabetes, heart diseases, kidney diseases, blood clots, etc.  Also, the chances of manifestation are directly proportional to the severity of the infection. Another study published in Nature had showed that the survivors had a higher risk of mortality than the others for up to 6 months after a bout of Covid infection with a study by Washington University echoing similar thoughts even for mild symptom infection cases. 

Dr. Charu Dutt Arora, Consultant Physician and Infectious Disease Specialist stated that the long-term complications of the infection can cause mortality or morbidity. She added that many studies in the US during 2020-21 highlighted the manifestation and morbidities of the cardiovascular system, respiratory symptoms, and neurological symptoms such as respiratory failure, pneumonia, liver damage caused by increased levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Heart attack, mucormycosis (black fungus), and stroke.

Dr. Arora advised the patients to seek medical help to get blood levels, inflammation, and blood thickening checked. She added that a balanced diet with sufficient fiber and fluid are must for a safe recovery. One should include breathing exercises, yoga, and stress-reducing meditation for a healthy lifestyle and better quality of life in the long run. Also, one should be particular with their medications, and unusual signs of breathlessness and chest pains should not be ignored.
