Q Along with the after-effects, I also have headaches, indigestion, anxiety, and heart palpitations. Can these improve together too?
A These symptoms usually arise together from the same root—reduced energy production after infection, combined with imbalances in circulation and the autonomic nervous system—so treating the root cause often eases them together. An approach that balances the whole body tends to be more effective than suppressing each symptom individually with medication.
Detailed Answer
Headaches, indigestion, anxiety, palpitations, and muscle aches are commonly seen together with long COVID. Rather than being separate diseases, they're often symptoms that surface together in a body that has been depleted by infection and whose autonomic balance has been disrupted. That's why addressing them one by one symptomatically has its limits.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang treats the root cause of the after-effects while also addressing the accompanying headaches, indigestion, anxiety, and palpitations. Clearing remaining heat and replenishing depleted qi and blood to restore balance often brings circulation, digestion, and autonomic function into order together, aiming for treatment that covers accompanying symptoms as well.
