🔴 There are three different types of long Covid with their own sets of symptoms, scientists find: ➡️ neurological symptoms ➡️ respiratory symptoms ➡️ diverse symptoms, including heart palpitations and muscle ache
There are three different “types” of long Covid according to researchers who said their findings should help theExperts from King’s College London said that people with long Covid appear to be split into three main groups, each with its own sets of symptoms.
The largest group is those with neurological symptoms including fatigue, brain fog and headache – most commonly found among those who became infected when the most dominant coronavirus strains were Alpha and Delta. A second group experienced respiratory symptoms including chest pain and shortness of breath, which could point to lung damage. This was found more commonly among those infected during the first wave of the virus. This was the largest cluster in the period when the population was unvaccinated.
A final group is experiencing diverse symptoms including heart palpitations, muscle ache and pain, and changes in skin and hair, the researchers said. Although there are differences to separate the groups, the scientists said these three subtypes were evident in all variants. Crucially, the data also suggested that the symptom types for people who did experience symptoms for 12 weeks or more were similar in vaccinated and unvaccinated people, at least with variants which had these data. They were expecting different clustering of symptoms depending on vaccination status given the risk of long Covid reduced by vaccination. Existing data shows that the risk of long-Covid overall is reduced by vaccination.
