Long COVID & Post-Viral Symptoms
Long COVID and post-viral syndromes cause persistent symptoms months after infection. We evaluate immune dysregulation, mitochondrial damage, autonomic dysfunction, and reactivated viruses.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, shortness of breath, palpitations, and post-exertional malaise.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Persistent immune activation, mitochondrial injury, microclot formation, mast cell activation, and reactivation of EBV or other latent viruses.
Functional Evaluation
Inflammatory markers, D-dimer, ferritin, EBV/CMV antibodies, organic acids, autonomic function, and micronutrient status.
Treatment Approach
Anti-inflammatory protocols, mitochondrial support, antihistamine strategies for mast cell issues, pacing, and immune-modulating approaches.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, new heart rhythm changes, or sudden neurological symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does long COVID recovery take?
Many patients improve within three to six months with targeted support. Early intervention improves outcomes.
Can reactivated viruses cause long COVID symptoms?
Yes. EBV and other latent viruses can reactivate after COVID and contribute to ongoing fatigue and inflammation.
What is mast cell activation in long COVID?
Some patients develop overactive mast cells releasing excess histamine, causing flushing, GI upset, and brain fog. Antihistamine protocols can help.
