⚡️ Long-term symptoms and potential health issues after recovering from Covid-19 include: shortness of breath, fatigue, migraines, brain fog, loss of smell and taste, lasting damage to the heart muscle(increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications), lung scarring and increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
⚡️ COVID-19 vaccine side effects are rare and generally mild. However, common side effects after vaccination include temporary fatigue, fever, and muscle soreness at the injection site, all of which are far less harmful than the virus itself and should pass in a couple days.
