Even though the pandemic ended, Covid-19 "continues" to be with us. Almost 2 years after its end, the long-term damage to health after infections by Covid-19 is becoming a burden not only for individuals, but also for health systems.
Ilir Allkja, an emergency physician at one of the private clinics, told "Monitor" that the number of patients for post-Covid-19 treatment has increased in the last 2 years. According to the assessments of doctor Ilir Allkja, the main long-term consequences for the health of patients affected by Covid-19 are felt in changes in breathing rhythm, in cardiological and neurological disorders.
"Changes in breathing rate. Pneumonia from Covid-19 can damage the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs which can lead to long-term breathing problems, such as shortness of breath, frequent, intermittent breathing (apnea), etc. In addition to pulmonary tissue, respiratory muscles are also damaged (proven cases) in pneumonia caused by Covid-19; those intercostals and the diaphragm.
Neurological disorders are encountered in the vast majority of people who have had pneumonia from Covid-19.
As a doctor I have known that viruses can affect the brain and its function, and neurologists have observed many, many such disorders. These disorders include difficulty concentrating and paying attention, memory impairment, and difficulty finding words are the most frequent complaints of the patients I see. Sleep disturbances and fatigue can further contribute to thinking problems, making daily life, work and activities more difficult.
Also, in many cases, the infection of Covid-19, in addition to the lungs, has also affected the heart, partially or all of the structures; pericardium, myocardium and endocardium. This infection has caused inflammation and permanent damage to the heart muscle. Such damages have also occurred in people who have had mild symptoms of the virus. The diagnosed consequences are arrhythmias, valvular dysfunctions, kinetic and hemodynamic changes", says doctor Allkja.
For the months of January-April 2023, according to the data of the Monitoring report of the Ministry of Health, hospitalizations of patients treated in cardiology increased by 6% compared to the same period of 2022.
According to doctor Allkja, depression and anxiety have also increased a lot since the start of the pandemic.
“Një pjesë jo e vogël e të prekurve nga COVID-19, kanë pësuar ndryshime në shëndetin mendor. Simptomat e ankthit dhe depresionit janë rritur ndjeshëm që nga fillimi i pandemisë Covid-19 në Shqipëri. Nuk mund të parashikohet se sa gjatë mund të zgjasin këto pasoja, por vlerësoj se duhen trajtuar të gjitha simptomat, si ato fizike ashtu edhe ato shpirtërore”, pohon ai.
Për 4 mujorin e parë 2023 numri më i lartë i të shtruarve është te spitalet psikiatrike sipas të dhënave të raportit të monitorimit të Ministrisë së Shëndetësisë. Në këtë periudhë numri i pacientëve të shtruar në spitalet psikiatrike ishte 1,122 pacientë nga 749 pacientë të shtruar në 4-mujorin 2022. Krahasuar me vjet numri i të shtruarve në psikiatri është rritur 50%. https://www.monitor.al/ankthi-dhe-depresioni-rritet-me-50-numri-i-personave-te-shtruar-ne-pavijonet-e-psikiatrise-ne-2023/
Pavarësisht se ankthi nuk mjekohet apo trajtohet nga spitalet psikiatrike, mjekët e poliklinikave pohojnë se rastet e pacientëve që vuajnë nga ankthi gjatë kësaj periudhe janë në rritje të lartë krahasuar me vjet.
Mjekja psikiatër Arjan Rreli pranë Qendrës Komunitare të Shëndetit Mendor Nr. 3 në Tiranë tha më herët për Monitor se pas ngjarjes së tërmetit të vitit 2019 dhe pandemisë së Covid-19 vijon tendenca rritëse e pacientëve me shenja ankthi dhe depresioni.
Mjeku Allkja gjithashtu pohon se ndër simptomat njohëse që nuk po përmirësohen mbeten edhe ato të çrregullimeve të përgjithshme trupore.
“Shumë pacientë me COVID-19 që vuajnë nga një sërë problemesh fizike: lodhje kronike, dobësi e përgjithshme, dhimbje kyçesh, dhimbje muskulare, shtim në peshë e në disa raste humbje në peshë, humbje të masës muskulore etj. Trajtime të tjera efektive mund të përfshijnë terapi fizike, terapi profesionale, terapi të folurit dhe terapi psikologjike. Për simptomat njohëse që nuk po përmirësohen, sugjerohet të punoni me ofruesin tuaj të kujdesit shëndetësor për të gjetur trajtime dhe medikamente që mund të ndihmojnë”, nënvizon ai.
Worldwide, according to WHO data, the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 from the beginning of the pandemic to mid-August 2023 reached 769,806,130 infections, including 6,955,497 deaths. Also, until August 20, 2023, according to the WHO, a total of 13,499,865,692 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 have been administered globally./Revista Monitor
