Long Covid – help is at hand

Thu, Feb 03, 2022

Most people who get Covid-19 get better very quickly. Some people continue to experience symptoms, and even have other symptoms develop in the weeks and sometimes months following their infection. This is commonly referred to as long Covid. Some of the more common long Covid symptoms include a lasting cough, fatigue, aches and pains, brain fog, loss of taste, loss of sense of smell, and insomnia.

Current treatments for long Covid focus on managing the symptoms and improving quality of life. One recommended treatment for long Covid is hyperbaric oxygenation. Users of hyperbaric oxygenation are reporting relief for a wide range of long Covid-19 symptoms. They are reporting better quality sleep, more energy, relief from pain, improved sense of smell and/or taste, and improved concentration after a series of sessions. Hyperbaric oxygenation is proven to help reduce inflammation, encourage new blood vessel growth, and stem cell production.
