  3. Post-Covid Memory and Concentration Problems The majority of COVID patients recover without experiencing any long-term memory or focus loss. Some people go through short-lived, minor issues. Other people may experience problems that endure longer, particularly those who have experienced a serious illness and have been admitted to critical care. If a person has memory problems prior to getting sick, it's possible that they will get worse afterward, but these changes may only be slight and short- lived.

  4. WHY DOES COVID AFFECT MEMORY AND THINKING? WHY DOES COVID AFFECT MEMORY AND THINKING? WHY DOES COVID AFFECT MEMORY AND THINKING? Fatigue is common after viral infections and could affect your ability to concentrate. The COVID pandemic has been a worrying time and for some people, it might have caused high levels of anxiety and even panic attacks. The low mood could affect memory and thinking. In a few individuals, COVID causes inflammation in the brain. Some people with COVID develop a kind of respiratory failure caused by serious inflammation of the lungs called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Your health care team might have told you that you have suffered a stroke as a result of having COVID. Call us on (469) 545-9983 to book a telehealth appointment

  5. How could COVID affect memory and thinking? 1. Memory - If your memory is affected, you might find it hard to hold information in your head in order to use it to make decisions based on that information, you might struggle to recall something that has occurred, or forget to take medication on time.

  6. How could COVID affect memory and thinking? 2. Attention and concentration - Problems with attention/concentration could make it hard to focus and ignore distractions. So, it might be difficult to find the could opener in the cluttered utensil drawer, help your child/grandchild with homework, or hold a conversation, while the TV is on, or keep up-to-date on conversations that are fast-paced or involve more than one other person. It might be more difficult to do two things at the same time and not be distracted when trying to focus on a task.

  7. How could COVID affect memory and thinking? 3. Executive functions - Executive functions are the mental processes that enable us to solve issues, make decisions, plan ahead, and see tasks through to completion. For instance, executive functions are required to deal with issues, organize a holiday, get the car fixed, and find a new job or a new place to live. People with executive functioning issues usually seem disorganized, impulsive, and not thinking things through. They might find it difficult to get going on tasks or begin a task but not see it through, perhaps getting distracted by something irrelevant and not noticing that they have drifted off-task.
