Others have had it but never even knew.<\/p>\n<p>But a small batch of people who\u2019ve contracted the virus end up with something called long COVID.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the most common symptoms of post COVID-19 condition or as you said, long COVID, include shortness of breath, cognitive dysfunction, which people call brain fog, as well as fatigue,\u201d Dr. Janet Diaz said, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are the three most common. However, there has been more than 200 symptoms that actually have been reported in patients. So that list is quite long. So other symptoms that patients or people may experience include things such as chest pain, such as trouble speaking, some have described anxiety or depression, muscle aches, fever, loss of smell, loss of taste. So the list is quite long, but those top three are the ones that have been described,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers have been trying to figure out why some people get long COVID.<\/p>\n<p>Now, new research in a Canadian trial \u201chas identified a potential key culprit causing some people to continue experiencing breathing issues months after contracting COVID-19,\u201d according to a new report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA team of researchers based at five centres across Ontario have zeroed in on a microscopic abnormality in the way oxygen moves from the lungs and into the blood vessels of long COVID patients in their trial,\u201d Global News <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/8950820\/long-covid-canadian-researchers-causes-study\/\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThis abnormality could explain why these patients feel breathless and are unable to perform strenuous activities, says lead researcher Grace Parraga, Tier 1 Canada research chair in lung imaging at Western University\u2019s Schulich School of Medicine &#038; Dentistry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these patients had this abnormality. They all had really serious symptoms, so their exercise scores were low, they were breathless when they exercised and when we measured the oxygen levels in their blood in the tips of their fingers after exercise, that was also low,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose feelings of breathlessness are completely consistent with our finding that we\u2019re not moving the oxygen as efficiently as we should,\u201d she told the Canadian publication. \u201cIt\u2019s very exciting for us to actually find something that\u2019s wrong \u2014 that it\u2019s in the patient\u2019s lungs and not in their head,\u201d Parraga said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
