Long COVID / post-vac syndrome

Chronic symptoms after COVID or vaccination?

Long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome are conditions that can occur after a COVID-19 infection or a COVID vaccination. Long COVID refers to the long-term effects of COVID-19 infections, while post-vaccine syndrome refers to similar symptoms after a COVID vaccination. Both conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms that may last weeks, months or years after infection or vaccination.

Symptoms of Long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome can differ widely and vary from person to person.

The most common symptoms include:

• Tiredness and exhaustion
• Shortness of breath
• Muscle pain and joint pain
• Headache
• Memory problems and difficulty concentrating
• Sleep disturbance
• Cardiovascular symptoms
• PEM: post-exertional malaise
• POTS: postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
• Neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling or dizziness
• Psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression or mood swings

It is important to note that not everyone with Long COVID or post-vaccine syndrome has all symptoms, and that symptoms can differ in each person.
