COVID Dizzy & Headache = 75% chance of Cognitive Issues as Aftereffects

TL;DR

Long COVID is real & measureable.

The largest effect sizes were seen in tests of verbal reasoning, multi-stage planning, and spatial attention.
Participants who had received a positive <COVID> test had a lower global score and this deficit scaled with the severity of initial respiratory illness: There was... also a clear effect for mild but biologically confirmed cases who reported no breathing difficulties.

Post-mortem studies of patients who have died of COVID-19 show evidence for ischemic lesions and indications of neuro-inflammation (Matschke et al., 2020).
...
The changes may be functional as well as structural, with nearly 90% of electroencephalography (EEG) studies conducted in patients with COVID-19 revealing epileptiform discharges, mostly within the frontal lobes (Galanopoulou et al., 2020)

I don't feel dizzy, but did take 2x ibuprofen 200mg tablets for my headache earlier today, which I hope was put down to my post-Covid intense coughing.
