Long covid symptom tracker
To show your doctor your long covid symptoms, record each day what you feel, how strong it is from 0 to 10, when it happens and what helped. Dated notes show patterns that memory cannot. Your doctor will tell you if they need specific measurements.
What to write
- Symptoms: fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog, sleep, heart rate, pain, each 0 to 10.
- Timing: morning, after activity, evening.
- Activity level: what you did that day.
- What helped or made it worse.
A 1-minute daily template

Before a clinic appointment
Write a one-page summary: your top three symptoms, since when, how they changed and what you can no longer do. Add three questions, most important first.
