Post-COVID Health Checkup: Recovery Testing Guide

Even after recovering from COVID-19, many people experience lingering symptoms — fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog, and joint pain. A post-COVID health checkup helps identify ongoing issues and supports complete recovery.

Common Post-COVID Symptoms

• Persistent fatigue (lasting weeks to months)
• Shortness of breath during mild activity
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
• Joint and muscle pain
• Heart palpitations
• Anxiety and sleep disturbances

Essential Post-COVID Tests

Blood Tests

• CBC: Check for lingering infection markers
• CRP & ESR: Measure residual inflammation
• D-Dimer: Clotting risk assessment
• Ferritin: Inflammation and iron status
• Liver & Kidney Function: Organ recovery check

Heart Health

• ECG: Heart rhythm assessment
• Cardiac Markers (CPK-MB): Heart muscle health
• Lipid Profile: Cardiovascular status

Lung & Respiratory

• Chest X-Ray: Lung condition assessment
• Pulmonary Function Test: Breathing capacity

Nutritional

• Vitamin D & B12: Often depleted during illness
• Iron Studies: Post-infection anaemia

When to Get Tested

• 4-6 weeks after recovery
• If symptoms persist beyond 4 weeks
