Kenny Evans feels helpless in the face of his daughterâs bouts with long COVID, which has left her gasping for breath, sleepless and suffering from chest pains, migraines and high blood pressure nine months after she recovered from her initial infection. âItâs overwhelming,â he said. Not much is known about the effects of long COVID, also known as long haulerâs disease or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). A large percentage of people who have recovered from COVID can suffer a bewildering array of health problems for months after the virus can no longer be detected in their system.
