The coronavirus, which is causing so much damage to our planet, not only leaves symptoms while the disease is present but can also leave lasting effects for months, causing muscle and general health problems and weakness. We have to stay strong and now, more than ever, not let the pain get worse.
Protect ourselves and be proactive. Many of you may have looked puzzled when you read the words Long COVID And you may have wondered what it means. As you know, people who contract SARS-CoV-2, this highly contagious coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, fully recover after a few weeks. But this doesn't happen in the same way for all those affected, since Some, even though they have had a mild illness, continue to present symptoms after their recovery.This group of patients, who suffer from post-Covid-19 syndrome with symptoms of the virus months after infection, are called "long-term patients" and hence the name long covid or persistent Covid.
In a survey conducted by the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians (SEMG) and the group of those affected by the new coronavirus Long Covid Acts have been Up to a total of 200 persistent symptoms alternating over time have been recorded, with an average of 36 symptoms per person. (Here you can see the complete list).

Why shield ourselves?
Or what would be synonymous with protecting us. If before We should not let pain or problems get worse., currently, in the presence of this bug, it is even less convenient Since its characteristics are not 100% known, we don't know how it can affect us over the years. Given this, the most important thing is to enjoy good health and address the problems at their root. Therefore, It is vital that with any ailment you visit the doctor before it gets worse.This will help you regain your quality of life and prevent it from being diminished over time. Our shield will be a health control since a small crack in it, if not fixed, can continue to open until it becomes more difficult to return to its original state.
Don't wait any longer. Shield yourself and protect yourself. Make sure problems wait for you and never happen. For more information about diagnosis and treatment, contact us at 951006638. Don't hesitate to put yourself in our hands.
