Long COVID in Ireland — Treatment, Support, and Where to Turn
Practical guide to long COVID in Ireland: symptoms, common patterns, and the support pathways available in 2026.
Defining long COVID
Long COVID describes symptoms that persist or develop more than 12 weeks after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, not explained by another condition. Common patterns: fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, palpitations (POTS), and post-exertional malaise.
Pacing — the foundation
Pushing through fatigue often makes long COVID worse. Pacing means working below your symptom threshold, building activity gradually, and resting before exhaustion. We help you build a personalised plan.
Symptoms we can manage
- Insomnia and sleep architecture changes
- Mood symptoms — anxiety, low mood
- POTS / dysautonomia — referral pathway
- Mast cell symptoms — antihistamine trial
- Cognitive symptoms — assessment + referral
HSE pathways
HSE long-COVID clinics exist for severe cases; access depends on local referral. Many patients benefit from primary-care follow-up plus targeted referral.
What we can do online
Symptom-mapping consultation, prescriptions for symptom-specific issues (sleep, mood, etc.), referral letters where indicated, and ongoing follow-up.
