Suara.com – Symptoms of Covid-19 usually will make the patient experience shortness of breath. However, recently a man in England was reported to have experienced it symptoms can fall asleep than usual within 20 hours, even in a sitting position instead of lying down.

The wife of the patient, 67, said it had been since last March that her husband had developed symptoms corona virus until now.
“He’s still sleeping now, five and a half months after that, he sleeps a lot sitting up, he doesn’t lie down. He looked like he was completely exhausted, ”he said as quoted on the Express website, Friday (16/10/2020).

Meanwhile, another patient, a 50-year-old woman, who has also contracted Covid-19 since March, said she initially thought she had recovered after about 15 days, until fatigue set in.
“It feels like I just got hit. You know I feel, gravity feels like it’s giving my limbs a boost. And it seems like I can’t do anything, “he said.
Additionally, a 34-year-old woman told researchers that she felt the same symptoms. Meanwhile, other patients raised concerns about never recovering from the disease.
“We know this is a new disease. But how long will it be. Maybe I won’t die now, but for sure I will never be better at feeling like this, “he said.
The journal published in the BJGP features an analysis of 24 interviews with Covid-19 patients. However, research led by Keele University found that further research needs to be done to inform as well as improve patient care.
