Long-Haul Covid
Recovery from COVID-19 can be a prolonged journey, with symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory issues persisting long after the acute infection has resolved. At Under Pressure, we offer high pressure Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support individuals experiencing Long-Haul COVID-19. HBOT enhances your body’s natural healing by delivering concentrated oxygen to your cells, promoting faster recovery from the lingering effects of COVID-19 and helping you regain your vitality.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment in which you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber at 2.0ATA or greater pressure. This process accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and boosts healing. For Long Haul COVID patients, HBOT can alleviate symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath, providing a path to faster and more complete recovery.
Conditions associated with Long Haul Covid:
- Chronic Fatigue: HBOT helps restore energy by improving oxygen delivery to cells, relieving the persistent exhaustion many Long Haul COVID patients experience.
- Brain Fog: Enhanced oxygenation improves cognitive function, reducing brain fog and boosting mental clarity.
- Shortness of Breath: HBOT supports lung tissue recovery, helping to alleviate breathing difficulties.
- Joint and Muscle Pain: By reducing inflammation, HBOT can relieve lingering pain in the joints and muscles.
- Headaches: HBOT reduces inflammation and promotes vascular health, helping to alleviate headaches.
- Heart Palpitations: Enhanced oxygenation and circulation support cardiovascular recovery, helping to stabilize heart function.
- Persistent Cough: HBOT aids in lung repair, reducing inflammation and easing a chronic cough.
How HBOT works in Long Haul Covid applications:
- Enhanced Oxygenation: HBOT increases your blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, promoting the repair of tissues affected by COVID-19.
- Reduced Fatigue: Improved oxygen delivery helps reduce the persistent fatigue many Long Haul COVID patients experience.
- Improved Mental Clarity: HBOT enhances brain function, helping to clear the brain fog associated with Long Haul COVID.
- Respiratory Support: HBOT promotes lung healing, improving breathing capacity and reducing symptoms like shortness of breath.

The treatment process
Initial Consultation
The initial consultation for Long-Haul COVID care focuses on understanding your symptoms and crafting a personalized HBOT treatment plan to support recovery.
- Medical History Review: Evaluate your COVID-19 history, including lingering symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory challenges.
- Symptom Assessment: Analyze the severity of persistent issues such as shortness of breath, joint pain, or headaches to target therapy effectively.
- Treatment Goals: Set objectives like improving oxygenation, boosting mental clarity, or alleviating chronic fatigue.
- Customized Plan Development: Design a tailored HBOT plan to address your unique symptoms and promote overall recovery.
Treatment Process
- What to Expect During Your HBOT Sessions:
- Each HBOT session lasts 60 to 120 minutes. You’ll relax in a pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen, which increases oxygen absorption in your blood. You may feel mild pressure in your ears, similar to flying, which usually subsides as your body adjusts.
- Session Frequency: Treatment plans typically involve multiple sessions per week for several weeks, customized based on your symptoms and recovery goals.
- After the Session: Many patients report feeling more energized and focused after each session. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Preparing for Your HBOT Treatment
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Avoid smoking and caffeine 2 hours before, and avoid drinking alcohol 12 hours before treatment.
- Hydrate well and eat a protein-rich meal before.
- Consult with our team if you’re on medications to ensure safe usage.
- Post-Treatment Care:Post-Treatment Care::
- Resume normal activities post-session, but stay hydrated and avoid strenuous tasks. Do not smoke 2 hours after treatment, avoid flying and alcohol consumption for 12 hours.
- After your session, stay hydrated and follow any additional recovery tips provided by our team. Most patients can resume their regular routine immediately after treatment.
Contraindications and Safety Information
- Who Should Avoid HBOT:
- While generally safe, HBOT may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
- Certain types of lung disease
- Recent ear or sinus surgery
- Severe claustrophobia
- Our team will perform a thorough assessment to ensure HBOT is appropriate for you.
- While generally safe, HBOT may not be suitable for individuals with:
Expected Outcomes
- Recovery Timeline:
- The timeline for improvement varies, but many patients experience relief from symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory issues after a few sessions. Depending on the severity of their symptoms, full recovery may require a complete course of treatment.
- For Long Haul COVID Symptoms: Patients often notice energy, mental clarity, and breathing improvements within a few weeks of consistent HBOT sessions.
- Long-Term Benefits: Regular HBOT can provide lasting benefits by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and supporting lung and brain function.
