Newey also said that not being able to smell has heightened his anxiety because of fears he may not be able to smell a gas leak or smoke at home, putting him in danger. "Because my stomach isn't communicating anymore. "I've gone a day-and-a-half without eating anything," he said. Matt Newey, a 23-year-old man who recovered from COVID-19 in March, told the Journal that he has lost weight because eating has become a laborious process. This may put up more barriers to full recovery for COVID-19 patients, causing emotional distress and anxiety. It could take months, and some physicians say they may never recover those senses, the Journal reports. But long-term data is needed to determine when those who did not report an improvement in two weeks recovered their ability to taste and smell. The CDC added a new loss of taste or smell to its list of COVID-19 symptoms at the end of April, and now early data from recovered patients is showing that many may not recover those senses after other symptoms of the disease disappear, according to The Wall Street Journal.Īccording to preliminary data from clinicians, about a quarter of recovered COVID-19 patients say they regained their senses of taste and smell within two weeks of other symptoms disappearing.
