COVID-19 has impacted millions, but for many, symptoms don’t end with a negative test. Fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and lingering inflammation can last weeks or even months—this is commonly referred to as Long COVID or Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC).
At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond symptom management. Our integrative care team combines functional medicine, holistic therapies, and conventional diagnostics to help your body heal completely—restoring energy, immunity, and balance.
COVID-19 is a viral infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While symptoms often resolve in 7–14 days, some individuals—regardless of age or severity—continue to experience symptoms for weeks or even months after initial infection.
From a functional medicine standpoint, Long COVID is a complex condition involving immune dysregulation, inflammation, and cellular damage. Contributing root causes may include:
At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostic testing to understand the full scope of your Long COVID symptoms and the factors contributing to your condition. These tests may include:
Ethan, age 45, came to Patients Medical three months after recovering from COVID. Despite testing negative, he was plagued by fatigue, brain fog, and chest tightness. He had stopped working and couldn’t exercise.
Within 8 weeks, Ethan’s energy returned, his brain fog lifted, and he resumed work and exercise—with a stronger immune system than ever.
Long COVID refers to symptoms that persist for weeks or months after the acute phase of COVID-19 has resolved. Symptoms can include fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and more.
Long COVID is diagnosed based on the persistence of symptoms after the acute phase of infection. Tests may include blood work, imaging, and evaluations of cognitive function.
Yes, through an integrative approach that combines nutrition, supplementation, stress management, and targeted therapies, Long COVID symptoms can be alleviated and overall health restored.
Symptoms can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Early intervention with a comprehensive treatment plan can help shorten the duration and severity of symptoms.
In some cases, Long COVID may lead to long-term health problems such as chronic fatigue syndrome or cardiovascular issues. However, with the right treatment, many symptoms can be managed or reversed.
The most common symptoms of Long COVID include fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, chest pain, headaches, joint pain, and sleep disturbances. Symptoms can vary in severity and duration.
Yes, Long COVID can lead to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Addressing mental health through therapy and stress management techniques is an important part of recovery.
There is currently no definitive cure for Long COVID, but many individuals experience significant improvement through an integrative treatment approach that addresses inflammation, immune dysfunction, and other factors contributing to the condition.
To improve recovery from Long COVID, it’s important to focus on restoring the immune system, reducing inflammation, supporting gut health, managing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies. Nutritional support, supplements, IV therapy, and hormone balancing can also be helpful.
Yes, some individuals may experience a relapse of symptoms after initially recovering from Long COVID. This can occur due to factors like stress, infection, or immune system dysfunction. A comprehensive treatment plan can help manage and prevent symptom recurrence.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
