Long COVID Part 3 (Cause) by Dr. David Saperstein - #shorts

In this short video, Dr. David Saperstein discusses the potential causes of Long COVID, particularly focusing on how it interrelates with conditions like dysautonomia, including POTS. He suggests that long COVID could arise from ongoing infection, persistent inflammation due to immune system dysregulation, or the development of microclots, which are tiny blood clots that block small blood vessels. These mechanisms may contribute to symptoms such as cognitive issues, cardiovascular problems, and shortness of breath that are commonly observed in long COVID patients. The causes may vary between individuals, and more research is needed to fully understand the underlying processes.
