After recovering from the coronavirus COVID-19 patients may encounter shortness of breath. The virus infects lung tissue and causes it fibrotic changes. In an interview with radio Sputnik said the Professor, Russian national research medical University named after N. I. Pirogov, pulmonologist Alexander Karabinenko.
As with other inflammatory conditions – severe pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the lungs, structural changes happen. This complicates the work of the human respiratory system.
According to Karabinenko, recovering COVID-19 is similar to therapy after swine flu N1H1 in 2009. Breathing exercises and firming mode is possible, but it depends on the condition of the particular patient. The terms depend on the ability of the individual to the structural restoration of the damaged organ.
“After swine flu fibrous lesions lasted 1.5-2 years. Some light has not recovered until now,” explained Alexander Karabinenko.
In the world of coronavirus COVID-19 has infected more than 7 million people. The latest information on the fight against dangerous disease can be found on the website stopmanager.of the Russian Federation.
