Asthenovegetative syndrome after COVID-19 in the practice of a family doctor

This study assesses and systematizes the signs of asthenovegetative syndrome (AVS) in patients who had COVID-19 a month ago. The survey was completed by 44 respondents aged 20 to 80 years. According to the results of the survey, the most common manifestation of asthenovegetative syndrome is weakness. The respondents also noted emotional disturbances, decreased attention, sleep disturbances, pain in the joints and muscles, weight loss, and headache. To assess the dynamics of the studied manifestations, a survey was conducted using the Vein's autonomic dysfunction scale. In 93.1 % of the respondents, the total score exceeded 15, which indicates the presence of autonomic dysfunction. The results demonstrate that among patients who have undergone COVID-19, the frequency of autonomic dysfunction is quite high. The manifestations which patients are most often concerned about are asthenic and psycho-emotional disorders. These consequences of COVID-19 significantly reduce the quality of life, which indicates the need for timely diagnosis and provision of qualified care to patients.
