Despite extensive research, the causes of the long-term effects of a Covid-19 infection have still not been clarified. Around 200 different symptoms have now been described. In addition to difficulty breathing, cardiovascular problems and neurological disorders, these complaints that you describe are very common. There is currently neither a clear diagnosis nor a therapy that would allow us to get to the bottom of the complex problem.
It is best if you go to your family doctor first. Depending on the symptoms, he will work together with colleagues who specialize in your specific problems and can thus clarify them optimally using conventional medicine.
Chinese medicine has an ancient, completely unique tradition and sees in many clinical pictures a derailment of the harmonious interplay of yin and yang – often also a weakness of the life energy, which is called chi and is supposed to be made to flow again with acupuncture. Thousands of years of knowledge flow into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Since I have been in contact with a TCM doctor from Shanghai for many years, I am familiar with these Far Eastern treatment methods and have seen many positive results from this therapy, which is unconventional for us Western-oriented doctors.
Although I recommend that you first consult your general practitioner or the relevant specialist, you can also think in a different direction. With this fairly new and complex clinical picture, a complementary treatment method such as TCM can offer a realistic opportunity to alleviate your symptoms.
