Does anyone else have this post covid symptom? Silent hypoxia.
I got Covid before Covid vaccines. I’ve had Long Covid for 2+ years. At times, I was on the road to recovery but then relapsed. Many scientists believe that it is residual virus that remains trapped in the body that some of us cannot get rid of.
My father is still facing these symptoms.
I constantly get nasal infections and required take steroid and antibiotic to control the symptoms.
