In this podcast I talk about the common LONG COVID symptom of going HOT and COLD. I talk about the possible medical conditions in which temperature dysregulation is a problem that need to be excluded. I then explain the underlying causes for going HOT and COLD in LONG COVID. I make recommendations how to best manage this troublesome symptom, what to expect regarding its prognosis and the expected time scale for its improvement.

Currently I am GP clinical lead for three NHS Long Covid Services in South West England - Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and South Devon. I am also Clinical Lead for Hope for the Community CIC. I have research involvement as co-investigator in a study on breathlessness in Long Covid, University of Bristol.
