Everything you need to know about asthma, from types and triggers to diagnosis, treatments, integrative approaches, and action plans for better breathing.
Long COVID recovery usually takes months rather than weeks: many people improve over 12 to 24 months, but progress is uneven. In the Long-COVID in Scotland Study, 42% reported only partial recovery and 6% no recovery 6 to 18 months after infection.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that causes wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness. About 27.8 million Americans have it (CDC, 2023), and most reach good control with inhaled steroids plus trigger management, with integrative care as an add-on.
Most people bounce back from a viral illness within weeks. But for some, the fatigue lingers for months. Here’s what drives post-viral fatigue, when it crosses into ME/CFS territory, and what actually helps recovery.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for long COVID improved cognition, energy and fatigue in a 2022 sham-controlled trial of 73 patients. A 2025 Swedish trial of 10 sessions found no benefit, so the evidence is promising but early.
Brain fog is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of long COVID. Here's what we know about why it happens, and the treatments showing the most promise.
Long COVID brain fog is slow thinking, poor memory and mental fatigue lasting more than 12 weeks after COVID-19. Most people improve within 6 to 18 months, and pacing, cognitive rehabilitation and HBOT have the best evidence.
Dizziness and vertigo after COVID can stem from vestibular neuritis, BPPV, POTS, vestibular migraine, or direct inner ear damage, each needing a different specialist and treatment.
Long COVID fatigue is a disabling exhaustion that lasts at least 3 months after COVID-19, is not relieved by rest and often crashes after effort (post-exertional malaise). Covers causes, testing, pacing, treatments and how long it lasts.
Breathing retraining, weight loss and trigger control have the best evidence among natural asthma remedies, and all work alongside inhaled controller medicine. The 2023 Cochrane update found vitamin D does not cut severe attacks overall.
Long COVID affects an estimated 10 to 20% of people after COVID-19 infection, with fatigue, brain fog, and autonomic dysfunction among the most common lasting symptoms.
