Many COVID-19 patients who required hospitalization are grappling with coughs or rapid heartbeats, fatigue and financial problems several months after being discharged, according to a federally supported study that examines the lingering toll of the virus.
The National Institutes of Health said its “long COVID” study of over 800 patients found that even after six months, 75% of patients had cardiopulmonary problems, such as coughing, swelling in their legs or feet and the need for home oxygen support.
The study was based on follow-up surveys with 825 adults who received treatment for COVID at one of 44 medical centers in the U.S. between August 2020 and July 2021.
