Long COVID fatigue refers to persistent exhaustion lasting weeks to months after recovery from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. It results from post-viral inflammatory response, mitochondrial dysfunction, autonomic imbalance, microvascular injury, and dysregulated immunity. Patients experience unrefreshing sleep, cognitive slowing (“brain fog”), muscle weakness, exertional intolerance, headaches, breathlessness, and fluctuating energy levels. Symptoms often worsen after minimal physical or mental activity (post-exertional malaise). Diagnosis is clinical and based on exclusion of anemia, thyroid issues, cardiac damage, respiratory compromise, and other systemic causes.

Homoeopathy approaches Long COVID fatigue by assessing the patient’s constitutional susceptibility, post-viral weakness, emotional stress, sleep quality, and organ-specific residual damage. Remedies are chosen based on modalities, mental fatigue, muscle ache patterns, breathlessness, and overall vitality. Homoeopathy aims to rebuild energy reserves, enhance immune balance, reduce post-exertional crashes, and improve cognitive clarity, while supporting the recovery of affected organs such as lungs, heart, and nerves.
