People with COVID-19 are more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, which is officially known as muscle pain encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
This is a study published in Journal of General Internal Medicine earlier this month, indicating that 4.5 % of those infected with SARS-COV-2, a virus causing COVID, developed chronic fatigue.
In comparison, only 0.6 % of research participants who did not have COVID developed the second state.

Researchers have determined that the case of Me/CFS is 15 times higher than the pre -pandemic level.

“As a researcher who focuses on how viral infection is connected to chronic diseases, I suspected that SARS-COV2 could cause ME/CFS from the beginning of the pandemic. The result is not surprising. “

According to NIH’s press release, this study was part of the recovery (research on COVID to strengthen recovery).
The study included 11,785 participants. At least six months after Cobid’s infection, researchers evaluated whether they had developed chronic fatigue. After that, we compared those results with 1,439 people who did not have a community.

“Because there is no specific test or biomarker, ME/CFS is diagnosed when someone has a constellation of a specific symptom,” Vernon told Fox News Digital.
“This study was asked to judge the symptoms experienced by the participants. This can be considered a limit, but it is an approach currently used for diagnosis of Me/CFS.”
“It is well known that chronic fatigue syndrome may occur in viral infection.”
Dr. Kenneth J. Perry, a doctor-based doctor in South Carolina, was not surprised at the rate of chronic fatigue after SARS-COV-2 infection.
“It is well known that chronic fatigue syndrome may occur in viral infection,” said Perry, who was not involved in this research.
“Given the fact that SARS-COV-2 was a new virus at the time of the pandemic, it was difficult to predict the incidence of syndrome after infection.”

Doctors pointed out that this study had some restrictions when trying to compare different viruses.
“The patient had to self -report his symptoms,” he said. “This makes it difficult to make the entire virus difficult to make the symptoms difficult. This is to increase the possibility of COVID spotlights.”
A new study suggests that deep sleep may not lead to two major health problems.
According to Perry, it is difficult to specifically determine how chronic fatigue occurs in a viral infection environment.
“We need to conduct more research to determine the basic pathological physiology of illness,” he said. “Considering that there is no complete understanding, it is difficult to determine how to properly prevent syndrome.”
What you need to know about chronic fatigue
NIH writes that ME/CFS is “complicated, serious and chronic that often occurs after infection.”
This state is marked by “new fatigue” that lasts at least six months, which damages the abilities of people engaged in regular activities.
“Syndrome has physical and psychological elements.”
Another symptom is “MAL negligence after diagnosis”, and research has stated that he feels extreme fatigue after physical or mental activities.
ME/CFS people may experience “sleep that will not be resurrected”, and to experience cognitive impairments and dizziness when standing.

Researchers wrote that many of these symptoms are related to long Covid.
“Chronic fatigue syndrome can be very problematic for the patient,” Perry told Fox News Digital. “There are both physical and psychological elements of syndrome.”
“Having a relationship with a doctor who knows your baseline activity will ensure appropriate evaluation and intervention if there is a change,” he advised. (ISTOCK)
Perry has repeatedly experienced patients experiencing direct fatigue and decrease in the ability to perform normal activities. This can lead to anxiety and depression due to these changes.
“Chronic fatigue syndrome is very difficult to properly understand the difference between fundamental mental/psychological health changes,” he said. “This makes it very difficult for the patient to explain.”
“Call for urgent behavior”
Perry advised Perry that those who have experienced chronic fatigue need to contact the primary care doctor.
“Having a relationship with a doctor who knows your baseline activity will secure appropriate evaluation and intervention if there is any change,” he said.

“For example, a triathlete, who can not even wake up through the entire work day, will definitely be concerned by a doctor who knows the patient.
“The dramatic increase in cases of Me/CFS after COVID-19 means that providers will encounter this state much more frequently,” said researchers. (ISTOCK)
In this study, Bernon said, “especially to medical providers,” emphasizing “calling for urgent actions.”
“The dramatic increase in cases of Me/CFS after COVID-19 means that providers will encounter this state much,” she predicted.

Researchers asked for early recognition of Me/CFS and appropriate management.
“I hope that everyone will help everyone understand that this study is a real diagnosis in which ME/CFS is a global pandemic.”
