INTRODUCTION

Rehabilitation in the early stages is much more

effective and can significantly reduce the risk of

developing post-COVID syndrome. It is a complicated

condition after a coronavirus infection, accompanied

by a number of different symptoms. Almost all patients

need a course of medical rehabilitation after

coronavirus infection (COVID-19), regardless of the

severity of the infection. It is carried out under the

supervision of a rehabilitation physician and is aimed at

restoring the immune system, as well as the functional

state of organs and systems. A properly selected

rehabilitation program after COVID-19 helps the

patient return to the usual lifestyle and quality of life,

improve the emotional state, mood, and performance.

It is recommended to begin a course of recovery of the

div immediately after stabilization of the condition.

The main thing in the treatment of complications after

a coronavirus infection is their accurate diagnosis.

Coronavirus infection COVID-19 and medications used

in its treatment can have a negative impact on

individual organs and systems. The reaction to the virus

is individual and depends on the state of health and the

presence of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is important

to timely assess the condition of the div and prevent

the development of complications. With coronavirus

infection, the respiratory organs are primarily affected,

in particular the lungs: the virus causes severe bilateral

pneumonia, the consequences of which patients feel

for a long time. Even after recovery, intense cough and

shortness of breath persist.

Therefore, all patients who have suffered

coronavirus pneumonia are recommended to undergo

rehabilitation aimed at restoring the respiratory

system, physical activity, and maintaining immunity.

Patients who have had COVID-19 in certain cases

recover for quite a long time. Many of them experience

such post-ovarian symptoms as a feeling of chronic

fatigue, intolerance to familiar food, but most often

the disease is complicated by disorders of a psycho

neurological nature: depressive and depressed mood,

increased causeless anxiety, sleep disorders - and this

is only part of the problems that those who have

suffered from the disease. According to statistics, a

severe syndrome is observed in 15% of those who have

been ill, while its duration varies from 3 to 6 months.

The main symptoms of post- COVID syndrome

include:

Hormonal disorders: menstrual cycle failure in women,

hair loss, rash on the face and div;

Headaches and dizziness;

Muscle and joint pain;

Shortness of breath and lung problems;

Neurological and psychoemotional problems;

Problems with the organs of vision;

Recurrent pneumonia;

Paresthesia is a disorder of sensitivity and disorders in

the work of taste and olfactory receptors;

Disorders of the cardiovascular system (hypertonia,

hypotension, arrhythmia);

General disturbances of vital rhythms (sleep inversion).

The symptoms described above can persist in

patients for a long time and bring a lot of anxiety. Why

is rehabilitation necessary after coronavirus? Often

cytokines (the main regulators of cellular processes

and stable functioning of the div) continue to fight

infection and destroy the virus even after the outbreak

is neutralized. Thus, they begin to attack healthy cells,

which negatively affects the functioning of organs

such as the lungs, liver, pancreas, brain, digestive

system, but mainly the peripheral nervous system.

Unfortunately, in practice there are some cases of

suicide due to post-COVID depression. Moreover, the

peculiarities of the course of the disease itself are in no

way related to the occurrence of post-COVID syndrome

and its severity. Complications can arise both in those

who have had a mild form of the disease, and in those

who had to endure the disease in a critical condition.

This is why coronavirus necessarily requires

rehabilitation, and most survivors are prescribed a

sedative spectrum drug, as well as antidepressants.

The program may consist of the following activities:

Pharmacotherapy (use of drugs).

Physical exercises (physical therapy classes, balance

exercises).

Cognitive load to restore memory, speech, attention

and reaction speed.

Stimulation of the nervous system to achieve

autonomic balance.

Physical motor rehabilitation is one of the effective

ways to treat post- COVID syndrome and restore the

div after an illness; it is based on exercise therapy

(physical therapy). Light physical exercise helps

strengthen

muscles,

stimulate

normal

blood

circulation, improve breathing, and stabilize the

psycho-emotional state. First, rehabilitation measures

are necessary for those who suffer from disturbances

in the activity of the central nervous system, since it is

these symptoms that are not always clearly manifested

and require detailed research. It is important to note

that anyone can encounter neuroses against the

backdrop of COVID-19, even those who have never

experienced any problems in this area before. These

may include sleep disorder, neuralgia, and migraine,

panic attacks, and feeling of suffocation, depression

and anxiety disorder. From a psychosomatic point of

view,

the

above

symptoms

can

aggravate

manifestations at the physiological level. It is important

to understand that if you cannot recover on your own,

it is recommended to contact specialists who, in

accordance with individual manifestations, will

develop a set of rehabilitation measures. It is worth

noting that old age is also a mandatory requirement for

rehabilitation. What is the purpose of the COVID -19-

recovery program? The post-COVID rehabilitation

program is health improving in nature and is now

available in almost every clinic, both private and public.

Almost everyone who has been ill is advised to undergo

it, regardless of the severity of the disease. It often

involves sanatorium-resort treatment, but can also be

carried out on an outpatient basis. The goal of this

program is quick and effective restoring the div’s

basic vital systems and psycho-emotional background.

One of the measures included in the rehabilitation

course is to neutralize the effects of viral-bacterial

etiology (for example, after pneumonia) that cause

breathing problems. Next comes restoration of the

immune system and hormonal levels, neurological and

psychotherapy. Much attention within the framework

of rehabilitation is paid to improving the functioning of

the cardiovascular system, which also suffers greatly

during the coronavirus infection. One of the blocks is

always aimed at intensifying the processes of blood

circulation and regeneration. Relieving chronic fatigue

syndrome is aimed at increasing the div's tolerance

to physical activity. The overall statistical medical

response from patients for this program is highly

positive.

Why do people who have recovered from COVID-19

need diagnostics? The implementation of effective

rehabilitation is possible only based on a complete

diagnosis of the patient, which can only be carried out

in a professional medical institution. Patients undergo

a detailed examination, after which, based on data

from tests and ultrasound examinations, as well as

studies of complications, treatment is prescribed,

including both drug support and a complex of physical

and psychotherapeutic measures.

Which doctors deal with rehabilitation after COVID?

A multidisciplinary team is always working on the

development and implementation of a complex of

post-COVID rehabilitation. This is due, first, to the fact

that complications manifest themselves individually in

each person and can affect all physiological systems.

For example, a physical therapy doctor works in

tandem with a physiotherapist on muscle pain and joint

tissue pathologies. In cases of voice dysfunction or

problems with swallowing, a clinical speech therapist,

otorhinolaryngologist or swallowing specialist is

involved. Disturbances in the activity of the central

nervous system can last the longest - a clinical

psychologist, neurologist and often a psychotherapist

work on this. A very important specialist in recovery is

a pulmonologist, who works with disorders of the

respiratory system. How long does rehabilitation take?

Unfortunately, a magical remedy that can instantly

neutralize the consequences has not yet been

invented. Recovery may take from 1 month to a year.

The complex of rehabilitation measures, as noted

above, depends, on the individual characteristics of the

div and specific symptomatic manifestations.

General recommendations include activities such as:

Exercise therapy (physical therapy and gymnastics).

Breathing exercises, including the use of respiratory

simulators.

Massage practices and div-oriented therapy.

Dieting.

Physiotherapy.

Psychotherapeutic treatment

Let's look at some techniques in more detail.

Breathing technique: more scientifically, this

technique sounds like pulmonary rehabilitation. This

complex should be started as early as possible, before

irreversible changes have occurred in the respiratory

system of the div. The main task is to restore proper

breathing skills and improve general condition by

normalizing the level of oxygen in the blood. The

exercises themselves develop the strength of the

respiratory muscles and diaphragm, and can also be

aimed at endurance and overall improvement of the

lung function of patients. Saturating the div with

oxygen and restoring the functions of its proper

distribution significantly improves the general

condition of patients and affects the speedy relief from

other symptoms. Often, if alternative breathing

techniques do not bring the expected results, a

method such as “hyperbaric oxygenation” is us

ed in

the recovery process. In simple terms, this is hyperbaric

chamber therapy, the main purpose of which is to

expose the div to oxygen at elevated levels of

pressure. This effective method allows you to eliminate

the symptoms of hypoxia that develop after the

disease.

Another important factor contributing to a speedy

recovery is following a diet that includes a

comprehensive intake of vitamins, minerals and amino

acids. It is the elements that influence the

strengthening of the immune system and help the

patient recover faster. The most essential vitamins for

post-COVID syndrome are A, D, E, C. Together with the

amino acid complex, they compensate for the lack of

protein in the div, which affects the production of

protective antibodies.

In addition to taking medications and nutritional

supplements, it is worth taking care of a varied and

proper diet. In order to restore lung tissue and

neutralize the effects of taking medications, meals

should be fractional and balanced. Nutritionists advise

excluding smoked foods, fast food, canned foods and

mayonnaise from the menu, as well as strong coffee,

tea and alcohol. Particular attention should be paid to

the balance of nutrients in the diet. Optimal ratio at the

rehabilitation stage:

50%

proteins (animal and vegetable origin);

30%

carbohydrates

20%

fats (primarily unsaturated fatty acids).

It is also recommended to reduce salt intake.

Exercise after hospital discharge: restoring

physical activity after an illness also plays a huge role in

general rehabilitation and restoration of the

respiratory system. As we know, the disease lasts quite

a long time, and then it still takes time to overcome the

side symptoms. That is why doing exercises plays an

important role, but you need to enter into them

gradually and carefully. In this aspect, we do not mean

complex fitness loads. Regular walks in the fresh air

can be supplemented with a set of basic therapeutic

exercises. The only rule is that gymnastics should be

performed 30 minutes before meals or 1.5-2 hours

after. Make sure the room temperature is comfortable,

you can use a humidifier. Restoration of impaired

functions of memory, thinking and concentration

As you know, one of the key symptoms that many

patients who have had coronavirus experience are

disorders of a neurological nature and cognitive

functions, such as problems with memory, speed of

thinking and concentration. This symptom may

especially concern those who suffered a severe illness

and were connected to ventilators. After all, as we

know, it is the oxygen balance in the div that

maintains brain functions in proper condition. Those

who require artificial ventilation are often absent-

minded, have difficulty remembering information, and

have

difficulty

concentrating.

This

condition

significantly impairs the quality of life. In this case,

again, walking and gymnastics have a very beneficial

effect. During physical activity, the level of oxygen in

the div increases, which accelerates blood circulation

and restores brain function. Erudition, attention and

attentiveness can be trained by solving crossword

puzzles, solving puzzles, and performing mathematical

exercises. All this helps restore the cognitive functions

of the brain. If independent rehabilitation does not

bring the desired results, then you should consult a

specialist and, quite possibly, resort to maintenance

drug therapy.

Overcoming stress, anxiety and depression: no

matter how strange it may be, coronavirus infection

actively attacks the nervous level. Most patients during

the

rehabilitation

period

are

prescribed

antidepressants in order to neutralize neurotic

symptoms, which may include various neuroses, panic

attacks, anxiety disorders, etc. Asthenia, chronic

fatigue syndrome, myalgia and disorientation are also

among a number of neurotic post-COVID symptoms.

You can try to get rid of psychological disturbances on

your own. First, you need to tune in to a positive mood

and try to start tracking negative thoughts. All diseases

caused by nerves, and this is the truth. From a

physiological point of view, the brain that influences all

processes occurring in the div, including the

frequency of the heart and pulse. Moreover, it works

on the psychological model of the world that a person

considers for himself. Therefore, our health is in our

hands. However, if you cannot get yourself out of a

stressful state on your own, it is very important not to

delay and turn to specialists. It is quite possible that

you will have to undergo psychotherapy and drug

therapy.

Treatment or rehabilitation after coronavirus helps

the patients not only return to their previous lifestyle,

but also must work on all the “risk factors” which

exists like overweight, heart problems, cholesterol,
