Common lingering problems include shortness of breath, fatigue and “brain fog.” The brain fog typically causes problems with thinking, concentrating and memory.Other longer-term problems include heart palpitations, joint pain, increased likelihood of blood clots and, in people who had severe pneumonia from COVID-19, scarring of the lungs that may be permanent.

He tore out tubes while emerging from the sedatives that kept him in a coma. For a while he believed his wife had abandoned him and he was being held against his will. At one point, he chewed through a restraining strap and swung at a nurse, thinking he must “escape.”
