medanToday.com, JAKARTA – Some Corona patients complain of symptoms such as fatigue to vertigo. This condition is generally found to occur due to other diseases.
It is quite difficult to confirm Corona infection with various unusual Covid-19 symptoms without undergoing tests. However, there are a number of signs that need to be watched out for because some patients often don’t realize that they have been infected with Covid-19.
Here are the signs.
1. It’s easy to forget
One of the signs is easy forgetfulness, this is said to be related to the long-term post-exposure of Corona patients, can experience depression, insomnia, Parkinson’s, and memory loss. This was explained by the medical director of the NeuroGrow Brain Fitness Center in North Virginia, Dr. Majid Fotuhi.
On the other hand, clinical guidelines published by The University of Lausanne Hospital at Revue Medicale Suisse said that the condition of forgetfulness in Corona patients is generally accompanied by fever to digestive problems. The cause of easy forgetting in Covid-19 patients is due to oxygen in the brain.
2. Anosmia
The most typical Covid-19 symptom that has been found recently is anosmia. A person loses the ability to smell and taste something.
Of course this causes decreased appetite and if allowed, Corona patients may experience nutritional deficiencies. Beware if the symptoms of Corona anosmia appear, it could be an early sign of exposure to Covid-19.
3. Chest pain
Often experience chest pain? Be careful that you may have been exposed to Covid-19. One of the Corona patients, Kerrie Noth, who has been treated for 36 days, admitted that he often felt burning and a tingling feeling appeared around his chest and neck.
His heart often pounded, causing extreme discomfort in the chest and ribs.
4. Dizziness
The study published in Ear, Nose and Throat Journal explained that dizziness is a symptom of Covid-19 that is commonly found in Corona patients. In a report, it was also found that Covid-19 patients experienced symptoms of vertigo, nausea, vomiting.
The dizziness experienced is like the sensation of spinning in the head until the body loses balance, as occurs when experiencing vertigo. However, vertigo can also be caused by many factors such as dehydration, drug consumption, ear disorders and others.
5. Tuberculosis
Another symptom that indicates you have been infected with Covid-19 is a dry cough. These symptoms arise due to irritation of the lung tissue. When air enters the lungs and passes through the irritated tissue, it triggers a cough.
EHE Health’s Director of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Seema Saring explained that the possibility of coughing will remain until the body has completely healed the damaged tissue.
6. Shortness of breath
Shortness of breath is also a fairly common symptom of Covid-19. Corona infection causes patients with severe conditions to complain of shortness of breath.
Shortness of breath can be mild to moderate. People with Covid-19 who experience severe symptoms of shortness of breath are usually the result of pneumonia that continues to get worse.
7. Chronic fatigue and dehydration
Quoted from EatThis, infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci has warned many Covid-19 patients who experience post-viral syndrome with symptoms that resemble chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis.
Furthermore, he explained that brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty in concentrating are signs of post-viral syndrome related to Covid-19.
8. Lung tissue damage
Covid-19 infection generally attacks the lungs, causing patients to cough up shortness of breath. After recovering, experts claim that some Covid-19 survivors can experience pulmonary fibrosis. This condition makes it difficult for a person to breathe. This damages the air sacs in the lungs which are in charge of sending oxygen to the blood. This damage causes the lungs to stiffen.
Health adviser at Fruit Street Health, Dr. Bernstein revealed, researchers found fibrosis or the formation of excessive connective tissue in organs due to inflammation in the lungs, can cause various long-term respiratory problems. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of the symptoms of Covid-19 at the beginning of infection. (mtd / min)
