ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 epidemic, which shook the entire world in January of last year and is still a significant threat to all of humanity, is still present. Really little evidence exists for the POST COVID-19 illness. The majority of individuals get long-term illness after COVID-19. Clinicians and researchers have focused on COVID-19's acute phase, but continued surveillance is necessary to identify any long-lasting effects after discharge.
Methods: A total of 200 participants were selected based on inclusion and exclusion standards. An electronic questionnaire was converted into a Google Form, and patients without Android phones may use offline versions. The data from the online form and the offline form were combined on a Google sheet before being statistically analysed. Pie charts and graphs were used to determine and visually display the outcome's proportion.
Result: The survey received 200 responses, which is a 100% response rate. Following post-covid, 86.5% of patients reported trouble breathing, 80% difficulty performing ADLs, 64% poor energy, only 5.5% psychological problems, 51% heart problems, 25.5% palpitations, 83.5% throat pain, 94% moderate to severe weariness, and 99% normal to moderate health. CVA, facial palsy, weight gain, PCOD, joint pain, and DVT are other issues that some people experience.
Conclusion According to reports, the majority of patients suffer one or two cardiorespiratory symptoms, which negatively impact their quality of life.
