Long COVID

Long COVID and post-COVID: work-up in Hofheim am Taunus

If tiredness, breathlessness or concentration problems persist for weeks and months after COVID-19, a thorough work-up is worthwhile. Fazilet Gültekin is a specialist in internal medicine with the additional title in infectious diseases.

Typical complaints

Long COVID looks different in everyone. Commonly reported are:

  • Persistent exhaustion and reduced stamina
  • Breathlessness or cough
  • Problems with concentration and memory
  • Palpitations or dizziness
  • Sleep problems, muscle and joint pain

How we proceed

First we listen and examine you. Then we clarify which tests your symptoms require and rule out other causes.

  • Detailed conversation and physical examination
  • Lab tests, ECG, lung function and ultrasound where needed
  • Support over time and adjusting the approach
  • Referral to other specialties when that makes sense
