How to cope with stress and fatigue after suffering from coronavirus?
Patients who have had coronavirus often continue to experience unpleasant symptoms after recovery. According to research, the most common consequences for the body are fatigue and mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression.
If you notice that you become tired faster even after a long rest, have difficulty concentrating on tasks and experience memory problems, then most likely you are facing post-ovoid syndrome.
What should I do in this situation?
First of all, make an appointment with a neurologist or a rehabilitologist. These symptoms will not go away by themselves, you may need medication.
Also try to adhere to the following recommendations:
- Don't overwork yourself.
Do not sit at work late, in this state you will not move mountains, and you will feel even more broken.
- Get some sleep.
Eight hours of sleep restores the process of processing new information in the structures of the brain. With lack of sleep, cognitive functions suffer: thinking, memory, and mindfulness.
- Observe moderate physical activity.
No need to work hard in the gym, when the strength is barely enough. Better, for example, go for a swim.
- Eat right.
Carefully monitor your diet — the diet should contain a balanced composition of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, while you can not abuse alcohol.
- Spend more time in the fresh air.
Now is the height of spring — a good time for leisurely walks after work and on weekends. This contributes to emotional relief and eliminates unpleasant thoughts.
