Although coronavirus is widely categorized as a respiratory disease, recent months have shown that the virus is extremely capable and, in some cases, can attack all of a person's major organs. This is why the virus has loose symptoms, for some unbearable and for some, minimal.
Undoubtedly, it is impossible to determine which coronavirus symptom is the worst. However, a doctor known for a range of coronavirus symptoms, argues why one of them may be the most frightening.
Writing for "Eat This, Not That", Dr. Deborah Lee explains that shortness of breath is the most troubling symptom for Covid-19:
What should it be like to experience acute shortness of breath?
When I try to imagine this, I always think of someone deep in the water trying to get to the surface and feeling desperate to breathe.
"It may happen to you in certain situations for a few seconds, but imagine if you would feel that way most of the time."
For many people, who have almost only this symptom, the fight becomes even more difficult, not only physically but also psychologically, which aggravates them even more.
Equally worrying is the fact that surviving the coronavirus does not necessarily mean returning to a previous state of health. A recent research study notes that some recovered coronavirus patients may show signs of lung and heart damage even months after hospital discharge.
Patients who fail to fully overcome the symptoms of Covid-19, even after recovery, are known as "long carriers". They tend to experience symptoms even months after recovery and feel tired, have a cough, loss of taste and smell, and so on.
Symptoms of the disease, which are less likely to last, include vomiting and fever.
