In an effort to help COVID-19 patients who experience lingering symptoms after physicians say they are virus-free, Cedars-Sinai has launched the COVID-19 Recovery Program. The multidisciplinary program offers patients a comprehensive in-person evaluation with an expert in infectious diseases or pulmonary medicine who can refer them to a network of specialists including cardiologists, pulmonologists, neurologists and psychiatrists. Patients also can gain access to clinical research trials and contribute to a deeper understanding of the long-term health effects of COVID-19.
Although many individuals recover from COVID-19 without any noticeable issues, others do not. Ongoing issues can include shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, or loss of taste or smell.
