Colin Furness, Toronto epidemiologist, said everybody that gets COVID-19 deals with some brain tissue loss.

The question, he says, is how much.

According to Harvard Medical School, brain fog is not a scientific term. Instead, people use the term brain fog to describe when they’re feeling sluggish or slow to react. Most deal with this from time to time, but what if your thinking didn’t return to normal?

Dr. Kashif Pirzada, an ER doctor in Toronto, expanded on that. He says that COVID-19 causes the human body to develop inflammation in these blood vessels, turning into clots.

“These clots clog up the arteries that feed your brain cells. They [recent studies] found abnormalities in areas of the brain that deal with memory, which could explain why people have a hard time forming sentences,” Pirzada said. “Or even remembering things after COVID. There is a lot to go through here that we’re just discovering right now.”

“We can refer you to a specialist that will see you in the long term, but they won’t know what to do either,” Pirzada said.


Harvard Medical School cites some activities one can do to help brain fog-like symptoms. 

If one can, this includes 

performing aerobic exercise, 

avoiding alcohol and drugs, sleeping well, and 

eating what Budson calls a “Mediterranean-style diet.” This consists mainly of olive oil, fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans, and whole grains — foods that are proven to improve thinking, memory and brain health.

His specialists also suffer brain damage from COVID.
