Although fever, cough, and difficulty breathing are the main symptoms of coronavirus, some patients are also experiencing brain problems. Doctors have observed that neurological symptoms, such as stroke or tremor, occur in a small group of people with Covid-19.
Reports in the United States, Italy, and elsewhere indicate that some patients experience strokes, symptoms similar to encephalitis, and blood clots, as well as tingling and numbness. In these cases, patients had these symptoms before the onset of fever and breathing problems.
A study in Wuhan found that patients also experienced dizziness, headaches and loss of consciousness.
At the moment, the impact of Covid-19 on the brain is still unclear and work is being done on it. Most people affected by coronavirus are in a normal neurologically normal state. However, reports, first in China and then in Germany, France, Austria, Italy, the US and the Netherlands, indicate that a number of patients went to the hospital to treat problems with the nervous system and then tested positive for Covid-19. .
In fact, it is common for the elderly to experience confusion and other problems, but such symptoms are generally not related to respiratory diseases, which prompts research in this regard.
