Shortness of breath, fatigue and brain fog after already catching the virus took him by surprise.

“We see this as the next outbreak besides the COVID infection itself,” said Dr Dominic Chow, medical director of Queen’s Health Systems.

The Queen’s Post COVID Care Clinic has helped more than 100 long-haul routes since December.

“Symptoms can be persistent shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and brain fog,” said Dr. Fritzie Igno, medical director of Queen’s Health Systems. “These are the most common symptoms or complaints that our patients tell us about. “

The clinic is expanding to meet the increased demand. There are currently 30 patients waiting for an appointment. Queen’s said everyone was on deck.

“We have cardiologists, pulmonologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, all responsible for helping the patient to recover,” said Dr Chow.

Patients need a referral from their doctor to make an appointment, and visits can last up to two hours for testing.

“There are studies that indicate this may be permanent for some patients,” said Dr. Igno.

“By preventing this from happening in the first place, we could certainly hopefully see less of these people suffering in our clinic,” said Dr Chow.
