Brain fog after a virus isn’t new, but the COVID-19 pandemic has taken this post-viral symptom to an entirely new level.While scientists are unclear as to exactly what is happening in the brain to cause that cloudy-head feeling, some theories posit that inflammation develops in the brain which damages cognitive ability, or that there are misplaced cells that block blood flow to the brain, starving it of the oxygen and nutrients it needs for thinking, memory and information processing.
“Most of my patients have made it back to work,” she says. “But there are a few stragglers who, for some reason, are quite disabled.

Tartaglia points to a long list of lifestyle habits and other factors that can take a toll on your brain, including not getting enough sleep which will slow cognitive ability as the brain copes with the deficit. Pain, depression and anxiety will have a similar impact, as will a poor diet and a lack of physical activity.
