Recently, it is often seen in the press or self media platform that work, sports and other things after “Recovery from Positive” lead to sudden outbreaks of disease or even life-threatening event. The head of the Health Management Center of Hainan Chengmei Hospital (hereinafter referred to as “Recovery from Positive" does not mean "true recovery”. The virus may cause certain damage to human functions such as cardiopulmonary function and immune system, and most of this damage is "recessive" or "progressive", and it is often not easy to be detected, so it is necessary to be vigilant and respond scientifically.
Five types of health problems may occur after “Recovery from Positive”
Respiratory system damage: generally after the patient is infected with the new coronavirus cough, there would be coughing and other symptoms, more serious cases can be manifested as dyspnea, hypoxemia, etc., severe cases can quickly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock and coagulation dysfunction, etc.
Digestive system damage: Digestive system damage includes loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. In more severe cases, patients may also have symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding and diarrhea, and the number, duration and severity of diarrhea varies from person to person. In the process of treatment, the use of some drugs may also cause damage to liver and kidney function.
Immune system damage: T cells and B cells would reduce greatly, and the function of the human immune system is limited.
Nervous system damage: there may be a variety of neurological damage during the onset, including abnormal epileptiform discharge or slow-wave activity, and some patients with COVID-19 may also have symptoms such as disturbance of consciousness and changes in mental state.
Myocardial damage: inflammation of the heart muscle. In general, acute myocarditis is mostly related to infectious factors such as colds. When a person has a fever, the heart beats faster, the blood circulation is accelerated, and the cardiac blood stroke volume is increased, which will increase the cardiac load, and if it is strenuous exercise, it will further increase the cardiac burden. In patients with underlying heart conditions, it can also lead to acute cardiac insufficiency and fatal arrhythmias.
How to strengthen self-health management after “Recovery from Positive”
"The disease appears like a landslide, while the healing process is like removing silk threads” Health management experts from Hainan Chengmei Hospital reminded that after infection with COVID-19, the human body would be very vulnerable for a long period of time, especially for the elderly and children with poor immunity. Besides receiving professional health examination in combination with their own situation to facilitate early conditioning and intervention, the self-health management of "people recovered from positive" is very important.

These exercises must be carried out in a scientific assessment after fully grasping your own health conditions, and do what you can, step by step, control the exercise time and intensity, dont think about immediately catching up on previously dropped sports and fitness activities, and rest when youre tired.
The second is to balance the diet and strengthen nutrition reasonably. Mainly eat fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, it is best to consume more than 12 kinds of food per day on average. At the same time, it is needed to control sugar, limit alcohol and quit smoking. Especially those infected with basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic cancer should pay more attention to healthy diet and abstain from unhealthy lifestyle habits. Lungs of some COVID-19 patients may be damaged by the virus, which would be exacerbated by smoking, including second-hand smoking.
The third is to have enough rest. “Thirty percent treatment, seventy percent care.” The expert emphasized. Good sleep and rest after "Recovery from Positive" is also very important. Sleep can promote protein synthesis, enhance the bodys immune function, thereby improving the ability to resist virus attack.
