Post-acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome is a novel, poorly understood clinical entity with life-impacting ramifications. Patients with this syndrome, also known as “COVID-19 long-haulers,” often present with non-specific ailments involving more than one body system. The most common complaints include dyspnea, fatigue, brain fog, and chest pain.
