Post-COVID Care
Some people who had COVID-19 continue to have symptoms long after they had the infection. For example, some people who had COVID may experience long-lasting tiredness, headaches, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.
UI Health has an expert team of doctors to provide you with coordinated, comprehensive care.

Living with Long COVID
Some people who had COVID-19 – even mild cases – may still experience chronic symptoms like:

- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Headaches

Doctors are continuing to learn more about the long-term effects of COVID, and patients may be experiencing other chronic symptoms as well.
UI Health physicians are dedicated to helping patients manage their chronic symptoms as a result of COVID-19. This includes participation in national research studies like the National Institutes of Health RECOVER (Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery) study.
