dc.descriptionThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people worldwide, many people recovering within a few weeks, while others experience persistent symptoms long after the disease has resolved. This study aimed to identify the most prevalent and persistent symptoms reported by individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. Questionnaires were distributed to 87 participants [male and female] in Kirkuk City, Iraq who had recovered. The most common persistent symptoms were fatigue (recorded in 51.7% of participants), hair loss 42.5%, joint and muscle pain 39%, Dyspnea 25.3%, headache 31%, anxiety 20.7%, and chest pain. 20.7%, cough 11.5%, Dysgeusia 8%, Anosmia 19.5%, heart problems 24.1%, depression 27.5%, anemia 14.9%, vitamin D and B12 deficiency 20.6% and 12.6% respectively and sleep disturbances 33.3%. Our findings indicate that persistent symptoms after recovery from COVID-19 are diverse and prevalent, and can significantly affect the quality of life of infected people. Clinicians should be aware of these symptoms and consider them while managing and monitoring COVID-19 patients. More study is required to better understand the mechanisms underlying these symptoms and develop suitable treatments.en-US
