What is Covid brain fog?

Brain fog is one of the rarer Covid-19 symptoms -- not talked about frequently. There are no complications in understanding brain fog; it's a cognitive dysfunction, a hazy feeling that bars you from concentrating, or remembering things.

If you got up from bed to do something during or after Covid-19 illness, but forgot what it was as soon as you're up, you might have brain fog. If you are thinking it will go away as soon as Covid symptoms go away, you might be wrong. Harvard health believes brain fog can last long after Covid symptoms are gone.

Currently, there is not a lot of research on why or how Covid leads to brain fog. But just like all viruses, once it enters our system, it spreads to as many organs as possible. According to a research by National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US, around 25 percent of patients who recover from Covid still find themselves experiencing some sort of cognitive dysfunction.

Such neurological manifestations of Covid-19 can be hard to maneuver for many, but not impossible. For starters, it is always a good idea to consult your doctor regarding the severity of brain fog and incorporate mental exercises that can bring you up to speed.

A good sleep cycle is also one of many practices one can develop during, and especially after, their Covid episode to help their brain activity catch on its bearings.

Covid-19 is a fluid event in history, with most medical implications drafted as we move forward. Our evolution through the pandemic means there might not be easy answers to most questions we have. The good practice, always, is to maintain all that we can control, so we can mitigate untoward consequences if we find ourselves infected.
