Can COVID-19 still give you problems after you have been healed?

Unfortunately, it is true! Not only are many people living with what was dubbed “long-term COVID”, but the disease itself can actually lead you to develop a ton of side effects that are going to follow you all your life. A lot of them we are well aware of now, but recently there have been more and more discoveries made after thorough research that points to the obvious association between COVID-19 and the possibility of having a stroke after you have had the disease.

It seems like, with this disease, there is no way to come back unharmed. Of course, there have been a lot of people who have been asymptomatic and others who have had to bear with the effects but still ended up completely healed afterward. However, there are a lot of people that do not know about the dangers that you are being exposed to after you are theoretically all healed!

Stroke is pretty high on the list, and together with other information researchers have since discovered, a lot of the adults and seniors that have had CVID are not exposed to a higher risk of having one. From what are the signs of stroke to how and why this happens to all people, we have gathered all the information and answers to all the most pressing questions that link COVID and stroke here!

Let us know what information here has been new to you in the comments!

14 Silent Signs You’ve Already Had COVID-19

Nowadays, feeling exhausted and suffering from a major headache isn’t what it used to be. It could actually mean you have Covid. As of January 2022, there have been more than 319,000,000 Covid-19 cases that are documented, according to Johns Hopkins University.

From all of these, 60 million cases were confirmed in the U.S., with 850,000 deaths. And the newest variant, Omicron, is seemingly faster than its predecessors.

With all these concerning numbers, some hopeful advancements have still been made. There’s now a widely available vaccination scheme against all variants of Covid-19, which demonstrated how efficient and preventive they are against the infection.

If you haven’t felt ok in recent months but haven’t been able to figure out what’s wrong, here are some silent signs that may show you have been already infected with Covid-19:

You’ve got natural antibodies

According to Matthew B. Laurens, MD, MPH, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, if you’re curious to know if you have Covid-19, you can take an antibodies test.

As he said, there’s an antibody test that shows you if you’ve been exposed to natural infection, and there is a different test to show you the response your body had to the Covid-19 vaccine.

Basically, antibodies to nucleocapsid protein will show up if you have recovered from Covid-19, while vaccines and natural infection produce antibodies to spike proteins. While there’s still research to be done, knowing this can really come in handy!
