DO YOU KNOW ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19?

 

SHORTNESS OF BREATH.

COVID-19 causes shortness of breath, it is usually one of the main symptoms because this potentially deadly virus attacks the lungs, which causes a deficiency in the functioning of the down. The patient who suffers from the symptoms can suffocate quite regularly and even the patient who is asymptomatic can suffer from it less frequently.

As this symptom has been detected, the patient can do small breathing exercises, that is, blow into a bag, take short breaths for 30 seconds and among others. Because you can lose control of your breathing by making a smooth movement, this is why there have been cases where patients need oxygen.

In the long term, it can be dangerous because the patient may be dependent on oxygen.

 

FATIGUE.

Researchers at the University of Leeds (UK) have identified a long-term pattern of symptoms that people who were hospitalized with the COVID-19 infection are likely to experience.

The most frequent symptom was fatigue.  More than 60% of the people who had been treated in a ward reported fatigue and a third of them described it as moderate or severe. For patients who had been in intensive care, 72% reported fatigue. Of them, more than half said it was moderate or severe.  

People with COVID 19 present fatigue as one of the main signs of this disease due to the weakening of the immune system that causes a general imbalance of other vital functions.

RUNNY NOSE.

Among the symptoms of COVID-19, there is a runny nose and it is particularly one of the most recurrent among the victims of this virus. At the same time, it causes the nose to turn a reddish color.

 

If you suffer from allergies, it can be a very complicated situation for the patient since they should not be exposed to outside and they will be kept in an isolated room. It will not have ventilation to avoid outside contact to the room.

WE MUST NOT CONFUSE RUNNY NOSE WITH ALLERGIES, for more information see the following video.

FEVER.

Fever is, in fact, one of the most common. In practically all the positive cases for CORONAVIRUS, the patient showed this symptom according to the data available to the National Health System.

COUGH.

Coughing is one of the most common symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19).Coronavirus cough is dry, persistent, and can leave a person short of breath.  That's because the disease irritates the lung tissue.

People may be coughing due to another condition not caused by the new coronavirus.  A wet cough involves phlegm that moves from the lungs and lower airways into the mouth.

A dry cough, such as that caused by COVID-19, does not produce phlegm.  It usually starts at the back of the throat and produces a barking sound.

 

DIARRHEA AND NAUSEA/VOMITING.

It is rare but possible that patients infected by the virus present these symptoms, however, they usually have it at the beginning of the conditions as if their body indicated that they should be alert.

 Dr. Manuel Menduiña Guillén, specialist in internal medicine and member of Doctoralia in Spain, explains that the sore throat of COVID-19 is accompanied by a dry cough, if the latter does not occur, the first discomfort can be attacked from otherwise and should not be associated with the Coronavirus.  In addition, patients infected with the new virus have agreed that they have difficulty eating due to the pain they present.

 

 

LOSS OF SMELL/TASTE.

This symptom can last the rest of the patient's life depending on the severity with which it resided in his body, on the contrary, it will only present the first days in an intense way and as the days go by it will return to normality.

if you have these symptoms, you should see a doctor.

 

HEADACHE.

Headache is one of the manifestations of infection by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2.  Some medical organizations consider it the third most frequent global symptom and the features that differentiate it from other types of headache, the implications on the prognosis and the most effective treatments are becoming better known. The specific headache associated with Covid-19 It is characterized, above all, by the following features:

·         It gets worse with exertion.

·         Increase with head movements.

BONE PAIN.

Bone pain during Covid-19 disease is an unlikely symptom, and even reserved for patients with advanced disease.  Arthritis could be one of the causes of the presence of these symptoms during the condition.  The pain becomes strong and increases with effort, it can cause immobility of small joints and, it is being studied if it causes secondary damage to the disease

Did you know that many of the patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic?

Of the 734k confirmed cases of patients with COVID-19 in Mexico, more than 50% of those are asymptomatic, according to data from the infobae.

Some infected people never develop symptoms. And these cases can be considered truly asymptomatic.

However, the experience of some physicians has convinced them that many people have rather minimal symptoms. "They don't even notice them, but for some reason they get tested and come out positive (for the coronavirus)," says Luis Ostrosky, an epidemiologist and infectious disease specialist at the University of Texas at Houston.

Remember, COVID-19 is not a government invention. The symptoms of COVID-19 are real and the complications they produce are real too.
