by Jason Ryser

Oxygen therapy may be able to assist in your recovery process if you’re struggling with shortness of breath after COVID-19.

Those who have struggled and recovered from COVID-19 know that recovery isn’t as easy as with other common illnesses.

Keep reading to learn more about the potential benefit of using oxygen treatments when recovering from Coronavirus.

 

What is Oxygen Therapy?

Oxygen treatments use clean, pure supplemental oxygen as a way to heal your body and improve your overall health. While the air we breathe has oxygen in it, breathing in higher and more pure quantities of oxygen has been proven to assist in healing many different ailments, such as asthma and migraines. Studies have also shown that oxygen treatment can give you more energy so that you can live more freely. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, “You may need oxygen therapy if you have a condition that causes low blood oxygen.” This type of therapy is available at both medical centers and within your home. If you have questions about oxygen treatments, contact your health care provider to learn more.

 

Using Oxygen Therapy while Recovering from COVID-19

Even if you’re no longer testing positive for COVID-19, there’s still a toll that the virus can take on your body; often, there’s a long road ahead for recovery. Many people who have fought off COVID-19 will tell you that they are still experiencing symptoms that make it challenging to function the way they used to. Mayo Clinic reports that these are the common lingering symptoms that recovered COVID-19 patients experience:

 

  • Headaches
  • Trouble concentrating and/or sleeping
  • Joint pain
  • Chest pain
  • Fatigue
  • Shortness of breath

 

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after recovering from COVID-19, you may want to talk to your doctor about using oxygen therapy as an option to help you get back to your day-to-day life.
