• About Long COVID •
What Is Long COVID?
Long COVID is the term used when symptoms continue beyond the initial infection and keep interfering with daily life. Some people call it long-haul COVID, and you may also hear it referred to as long-haulers syndrome or post-COVID syndrome. No matter the label, the experience can feel similar: recovery takes longer than expected, and your energy, breathing, focus, or stamina does not bounce back on its own.
For many patients, the challenge is not just feeling worn out. It’s realizing that normal activities leave you depleted, and it takes longer to feel steady again after mental effort, exercise, or a busy day. Because long COVID can affect more than one system at a time, a one-step approach often falls short. That is why our team uses a lab-guided process to help clarify what is most relevant in your case.
• CAUSES •
Common Causes of Long COVID
The persistence of long COVID symptoms is rarely attributable to a single cause. While research continues to advance, clinical observations repeatedly reveal overlapping drivers as the reason for the multifaceted nature of the condition.
Immune and Inflammation Patterns
After an infection, the immune system can stay activated longer than it should. Ongoing inflammation may contribute to fatigue, body discomfort, headaches, or a sense that your system is “on edge.”
Mitochondrial and Energy Production Strain
Many long COVID symptoms center on reduced capacity. When cellular energy processes are under stress, you may notice lower stamina, slower recovery, and a heavier response to exertion. Some plans include immune and mitochondrial support for long COVID when testing and symptom patterns suggest it.
Circulation and Oxygen Utilization Issues
Some patients report shortness of breath, chest tightness, or exercise intolerance even when imaging looks normal. In those cases, the issue may involve circulation, oxygen use, or overall conditioning after illness.
Nervous System Dysregulation
Long COVID can overlap with changes in how the nervous system regulates heart rate, sleep, temperature tolerance, and stress response. That can show up as a racing heart, dizziness, disrupted sleep, or sensitivity to busy environments.
Nutrient Status and Gut Function Changes
Illness, appetite shifts, medications, and stress can affect digestion and nutrient absorption. If the body is running low on key nutrients, fatigue, brain fog, and slow recovery may become more noticeable.

What Symptoms Are Associated With Long COVID?
Long COVID symptoms can vary widely. Some people feel one dominant issue, while others notice a cluster that changes week to week. Signs that often benefit from a clinical evaluation include:
Ongoing fatigue that does not improve with rest.
Brain fog, slower focus, or memory lapses.
Shortness of breath, chest tightness, or reduced exercise tolerance.
Sleep disruption or waking unrefreshed.
Headaches, dizziness, or lightheadedness.
Muscle aches, joint discomfort, or overall body soreness.
Rapid heartbeat or a feeling of being easily “wired.”
Mood changes, including anxiety or low mood.
Digestive changes such as bloating, nausea, or appetite shifts.

What Are the Treatment Options for Long COVID?
New Era Medical offers supportive, integrative options that can be combined into integrative long COVID treatment programs based on your history, labs, and tolerance. This is a structured process designed for complex cases, with provider oversight and ongoing adjustments as your body responds.
Nutrition Therapy
When energy is low and recovery feels inconsistent, the basics matter more than ever. A nutrition therapy plan supports steady fuel, nutrient status, and inflammation balance, with recommendations tailored to your labs and symptom pattern.
Vitamin Infusions
For patients who may benefit from faster nutrient delivery, vitamin infusions provide fluids and nourishment directly into the bloodstream. This may be considered when fatigue is persistent, hydration is low, or absorption is a concern.
Ozone Therapy
In select cases, ozone therapy may be used as part of a broader immune and recovery plan. If it’s appropriate for you, your provider will explain why it is being considered and how it fits into your overall program.
EBOO Therapy
Some programs include EBOO therapy to support circulation, oxygenation, and detox-focused goals. Whether it makes sense for you depends on your medical history and lab findings, and your provider will explain why it may be included in your plan.
UVBI Therapy
UVBI therapy may be included for some patients when immune support is a priority and the clinical picture suggests it could be helpful. Your team will review the purpose of UVBI within your plan and what to expect during sessions.
Red Light Therapy
As a supportive tool, red light therapy may be used to assist cellular recovery and tissue-level energy processes. It often pairs well with foundational steps like nutrition support and sleep stabilization.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
For certain recovery patterns, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may support tissue-level repair and resilience by increasing oxygen availability. It is sometimes considered when long COVID symptoms overlap with slow recovery, inflammation patterns, or persistent fatigue.
• FAQ •
Frequently Asked Questions
What symptoms are associated with long COVID?
Symptoms associated with long COVID often include persistent fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, sleep disruption, headaches, dizziness, body aches, and reduced exercise tolerance. Some people also notice rapid heartbeat, mood changes, or digestive shifts.
Can long COVID treatment help with brain fog and shortness of breath?
Long COVID treatment can help with brain fog and shortness of breath when care addresses the likely drivers behind those symptoms. Many patients improve when inflammation patterns, nutrient status, sleep quality, and recovery capacity are supported in a structured way.
How is long COVID different from post-viral fatigue?
Long COVID is different from post-viral fatigue because it can involve a broader set of symptoms and may affect more than energy alone. Post-viral fatigue often centers on prolonged tiredness after an illness, while long COVID can also include breathing issues, nervous system changes, and fluctuating tolerance to exertion.
Is long COVID treatment supportive alongside primary medical care?
Long COVID treatment can be supportive alongside primary medical care, especially when you want additional guidance for persistent symptoms and day-to-day function. Integrative programs are commonly used as adjunct support, not as a replacement for your primary clinician or any necessary specialty follow-up. Your New Era Medical team can also help you understand what to monitor and when escalation is needed.
