Another point of doubt about Covid during this period is whether the abnormality of the body occurs as a result of the infection or not. Because from the first day we all have to face this epidemic crisis. The nature of the disease changes over time. At the same time, the news about the development of strains of the infection was unceasingly. Each person has a different pattern of illness. And many media do not present the information in the same direction. Especially the symptoms of Long Covid that when looking at it, there are so many that they cannot be counted. But the latest researchers have identified only 7 symptoms.
What is Long Covid?
Many people mistake Long Covid for another, more virulent strain. But in fact, it is a residual symptom after infection. Because some organs and internal systems are damaged. The results are not fixed in terms of symptom pattern and duration. Some people have a dry cough that lasts for several months. Some people have nasal congestion and runny nose on a regular basis. Some people even experience a complete change in their sense of touch. The group of people who are at risk of having this Long Covid condition are the elderly. A group of people who are overweight and people with certain underlying diseases
7 symptoms linked to Long Covid
While collecting information about Long Covid, the research team found a wide variety of symptoms. as if it could not narrow the frame at all even if the patients are of the same age being in the same environment and have the same health cost. It’s still unclear whether post-infection symptoms will be the same. What can be concluded at that time, only the percentage of patients with Long Covid symptoms was not very high. When compared to the proportion of all patients, it is only 10 percent. And the internal systems that were destroyed were quite clear: the respiratory system, the brain and the immune system.
Later, the results of the research came as a surprise again. Because of all the illnesses that have been recorded, only seven are actually linked to Covid infection: palpitations, joint pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, hair loss, fatigue and obesity. In addition, it may be caused by other complications or viruses. And it’s also possible that it’s an indirect effect of the infection.
This conclusion will be very useful to the medical community. At the very least, it helps to separate groups of patients with Long Covid symptoms from those with other types of infection. So that each person receives the right treatment and is truly on point. In addition, the trend of future development of Covid strains can also be analyzed.
