Diagnosing Long COVID

If you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms after a COVID-19 infection, it’s important to seek medical attention from a trusted healthcare provider. At The MediCentral, our experienced providers will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination to evaluate your symptoms. We may also order diagnostic tests, such as blood work, chest x-rays, or pulmonary function tests, to help diagnose long COVID.
