POST-COVID SYMPTOMS IMPROVE WITH HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has shown promising results by providing a wide range of physiological benefits.
Post-COVID-19 condition refers to a range of persisting physical, neurocognitive, and neuropsychological symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The mechanism can be related to brain tissue pathology caused by virus invasion or indirectly by neuroinflammation and hypercoagulability.
A reduction in brain oxygen levels (brain hypoxia) may help to explain early neurological symptoms of COVID-19 (i.e, headaches, fatigue, impaired consciousness, including respiratory distress), which can be seen in a significant proportion of more severe cases. Other neurological symptoms typically observed in those suffering from long-COVID may be attributed to the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and dysautonomia. It has been reported that around 67% of individuals with long COVID are developing dysautonomia. Keep in mind, the ANS plays a critical role in regulating immune function, inflammation, coagulation pathways, fatigue, exercise intolerance, cognition, along with many more factors relating to physiological functioning. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a very simple, safe, and non-invasive intervention that helps to relieve tissue and brain hypoxia, particularly at lower pressures! This procedure can also stimulate the vagus nerve (an integral part of the ANS), to help restore viral-related dysfunction of the ANS. This may explain long-COVID patients reporting relief from fatigue, cognitive impairment, weakness, headache, and dizziness among many others after completing a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Coronavirus often leads to serious complications, including lung failure, even after the disease has passed. However, breathing problems are not the only symptoms of the so-called post-covid syndrome, which affects each convalescent to a greater or lesser extent. Many patients struggle with long-term effects after disease recovery, typically preventing a quick return to normal functioning.
One of the major complications after COVID-19 is minor to severe breathing difficulties caused by disease-related lung damage. Dyspnoea, even with a little exertion, or the inability to catch the breath, these symptoms should not be taken lightly. Chronic hypoxia can lead to much more serious disorders.
The list of complications after SARS-CoV-2 infection includes:
— difficulties with breathing
— chronic fatigue
— arthralgia
— pain in the chest
— the so-called brain fog, or problems with concentration, remembering, and disorientation
— recurrent fever
— problems with sleeping
— total or partial loss of smell and / or taste.
When complications after COVID-19 make it difficult to return to daily activities, the simplest activities become an issue, manual work causes fatigue, mental work is not as easy as it used to be, it is worth using Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which will take care of our health in a safe and comprehensive way.
Hyperbaric therapy proves to be a very effective method for fighting long COVID.
The effectiveness of this type of treatment is confirmed by studies conducted at the very centre of the epidemic, i.e. in the Chinese city of Wuhan and in countries such as the United States and Spain.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves oxygenation of the body, increases the so-called blood saturation, which allows you to more effectively fight many diseases and inflammations. Muscle aches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, or trouble sleeping can be alleviated and even treated with oxygen therapy. In addition, the ability of hyperbaric oxygen to penetrate tissues accelerates the regeneration processes of the body and facilitates the regeneration of the lungs, which make breathing difficult.
It is also worth emphasizing that thanks to hyperbaric therapy, the number of stem cells in the body increases 8-fold normal rate. It is these cells that are the only ones that have the ability to transform into cells of other tissues and support those places in the body that need to be rebuilt. The latest research by American doctors confirms the effectiveness of stem cells in the treatment of COVID-19 and complications after the disease.
