Covid after effects : Covid viral infection can have significant neurologic as well as respiratory effects, which are variable and not predictable as to duration. There is gradual recovery in most cases, but in some individuals it takes months for successful recovery .

COVID 19: Agree with Dr. Berryman. We don't know enough about your baseline health or the severity of your COVID 19 infection to be aqble to provide you with a prediction. Please be aware that with moderate to severe infection, return to baseline can be very slow. Recommend a post - COVID 19 infection evaluaiton with your own physician to help get a handle on this. Take care.

Agree with Dr Berryman and Fowler. Besides seeing your doctor for followup, you might avail yourself of a visit to physical therapy, as some physical sequelae may respond to a rehabilitation approach. Active exercise on your part will facilitate your improvement.
