A Cross-sectional Study : Is There a Relationship Between Hyperventilation Syndrome and History of Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection?
A Cross-sectional Study : Is There a Relationship Between Hyperventilation Syndrome and History of Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection?
Following an acute COVID-19 infection, many patients suffer from long lasting physical symptoms that may greatly impair quality of life. Persisting dyspnea and other functional respiratory complaints could evoke Hyperventilation Syndrome (HVS) as a putative contributor of the long-COVID presentation in COVID-19 survivors. We aimed to assess the possible relationship between a HVS and previous acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
