How is Long Covid really affecting people in the UK? Dr. Ram Arora sits down with BBC Wiltshire's Ben Prater to uncover the surprising realities. While initial predictions suggested a surge in long Covid cases, British general practices haven't seen as many as expected. Why? Dr. Arora suggests that self-management and the natural resolution of symptoms within 12 weeks might be key factors. However, the story doesn't end there.
Vulnerable communities are disproportionately affected and often hesitate to seek help, making the situation more complex. This episode dives into the more than 50 post-Covid symptoms that can impact nearly every system in the body. Dr. Arora also shares valuable self-help resources to aid those grappling with long Covid, offering practical advice for managing this condition. If you're curious about how long Covid is shaping lives and healthcare in the UK, this conversation is a must-listen.
