BIOON / -- With the spread of COVID-19 and the death toll continuing to be reported, it may be difficult to remember one important thing: Rehabilitation is not only possible, but also universal, and most people will recoverbut even for those who are formally recovering, feeling 100% back to normal is a long processSo what happens during recovery if you get COVID-19?improvement in health and strength
the U.SCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says those considered recovering are eligible for at least 72 hours ofwithout fever and medication;but the body may not function 100% after recovering from the infection, especially if the patient is hospitalized or in a serious conditionThe World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that if a patient is in critical condition, it could take six weeks or more to fully recoverimage source: https://cn.bing.com
DrFarah Hameed, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irvine Medical Center, said, "To maximize recovery from COVID-19, we recommend that patients strengthen their breathing muscles and muscles in their arms and legs." "
lung rehabilitation is part of the recovery process, as COVID-19 is a respiratory diseaseThe program includes a series of exercises to help patients improve shortness of breath, increase their motor skills, and improve their quality of lifeexercises include breathing exercises to strengthen the chest muscles and muscle-strengthening exercises to address muscle loss after a long stay in hospital walking "We encourage patients to walk, even at home, because walking improves the overall situation," Hameed said "The walking plan is as follows: first week: 5 minutes, 5 times a day; adjusting your sitting position
long-term reclining can lead to physical discomfort and other health problems It is recommended to sit up straight as possible during the day monitor oxygen levels
"Some patients may be tested for a pulse oximeter after they are discharged from the hospital," Hameed said The device monitors heart rate and oxygen levels during exercise and exercise "people who in recovery should check their heart rate and oxygen levels before, during, and after exercise Normal oxygen saturation is 96% to 100% and should not be less than 88% during exercise people may also use a pneumoconiosis meter when they are discharged from the hospital The device helps to strengthen the breathing muscle and open spouts in the air space in the lungs a lung capacity meter designed to help people take long, slow, deep breaths Use 15 minutes per day and can be divided into three time periods to deal with mental health after COVID-19
COVID-19 is not just about physical harm it can also cause mental harm, because there is too much fear surrounding the threat of the virus and its disease For those hospitalized or intubated, the disease can be a traumatic experience in fact, those who have recovered from COVID-19 may be struggling with how to mentally deal with what their bodies are going through They may even show signs and symptoms of acute stress response or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Dr Jessy Warner-Cohen, senior psychologist and Master of Public Health at the Northwell Health Center, said: "When these reactions occur less than a month after trauma, they are marked as acute stress responses, and one of the challenges facing the mental health world after the pandemic is to recalibrate our expectations of mental health "
PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) describes a range of symptoms that may occur after a traumatic event Symptoms may include: painful memories or dreams of events; intense physiological responses to alert events; not thinking about it; distrust of oneself, distrust of others, distrust of the world; persistent negative emotions; emotional numbness; and constant trouble , doctors will only diagnose mental health disorders if they meet certain criteria But now that we are in an environment that has affected everyone, the expected response has yet to be determined According to Warner-Cohen, people with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression or poor social support are more likely to have a severe traumatic response, even though everyone is vulnerable image source: https://cn.bing.com
anyone who needs to improve their mental health during COVID-19, whether they've been infected or not, has all sorts of uplifting behaviors: regular social interactions when isolated Hameed recommends using mobile phones, videos
phone or social media; maintaining a healthy diet, exercising and getting a good night's sleep; not drinking coffee in the afternoon; avoiding alcohol; avoiding blue light for an hour before bedtime; and considering pre-bedtime meditation for those who may need additional support, Warner-Cohen advises them to seek professional help "If you have any symptoms of acute stress or post-traumatic stress disorder, contact a mental health professional as soon as possible The sooner you get help, the better Warner-Cohen added that talking to experts, not just family members, is helpful " is the most dangerous thing to say Talking to a neutral person, rather than having a painful experience with you, can be very helpful (BioValleyBioon.com) Reference: 1
