These common symptoms could mean that Covid is in your brain
Some of the most frequently cited coronavirus symptoms could suggest neurological damage.
Throughout thecoronavirus pandemic, doctors and scientists have learned more and more on the virus at its center. One of the most frightening things on Covid-19 is that it's a whole new disease, which means that we are constantlydiscover new symptoms. And it has now become clear that Covid is more than a respiratory infection. In fact, new research shows that some of the most common covidant symptoms could mean that the disease is in your brain.
We have known for some time that Coronavirus canAssign your brainbut a new study of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine has determined a link between the symptoms that can provide additional evidence ofThe impact of COVID on the brain. Researchers found that patients who experienced a loss of taste more tasteful and smell were more likely to report depression and anxiety - suggesting that these psychological symptoms are in fact a sign of something more serious only a reaction to coronavirus. Read it to discover the symptoms that can mean that Covid attacks your brain. And for more unusual symptoms,If you have a rash in this place, you can have Covid, the study suggests.
1 Depression and anxiety
Ahmad sedaghat, MD, leader leader of the University of Cincinnati, said he had assumed that depression and anxiety would have been a natural result of the victory of serious symptoms of Covid, like cough and shortness of breath. Instead, however, he and his team found that these symptoms were only significantly associated with the loss of smell and taste.
"We believe that our results suggest the possibility that psychological distress in the form of a mood or depressed anxiety can reflect the penetration of SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, in the central nervous system "Saudaghat said. And for more subtle symptoms,It is the symptom of Covid-19 that you are most likely to miss, says the doctor.
2 Loss of smell and taste
Common symptoms ofloss of taste and smell-Somed the only symptoms that people with COVID experience have been considered some of the "least disturbing symptoms" of the disease. But the link between these symptoms and anxiety and depression suggest an important neurological component.
As early as March, researchers suggest that loss of taste and smell showed that coronavirus wasattack the central nervous systemAnd that the disease could have an effect on the brains of patients. And for more information on coronavirus symptoms (or absence),The number of coovidants without symptoms increases, says CDC.
3 Delirium
A July study in the newspaperBrain Delirium identified as another disorderNeurological symptom of coronavirusand a surprisingly common to 25% of patients can experiment with it.This symptomAccording to the authors of the study, we expect that the types of neurological problems with previous coronaviruses (such as SARS and seas) are confronted.
"We should be vigilant and look at theseComplications for people who have had COVID-19, "Co-study authorMichael Zandi, MA, says in a statement.
4 Clumsiness
Although clumsiness is not one of the most common symptoms of coronavirus, it has been reported by people who are recovering from Covid. AsJames Giordano, PhD, professor of neurology and biochemistry at the medical center of Georgetown University, has already saidBetter lifeA coronavirus infection could "lead to lower oxygen levels in brain blood supply, which may induceFunctional capacity diminished neural cells. "
The inflammation caused by Covid could also enter the brain and change the structure of neural cells. One of these explanations could account for clumsiness Some coronavirus patients have known. And for more information up to date,Sign up for our daily newsletter.
