Feeling tired can be a sign of illness caused by the Omicron strain of the coronavirus. This was reported by an endocrinologist at the Moscow State University Medical Research Center. M. V. Lomonosov, candidate of medical sciences, author of the Telegram channel “Doctor Pavlova” Zukhra Pavlova on Friday, December 3.
“Unfortunately, this symptom cannot be distinguished from ordinary fatigue on our own: in both cases, people complain about the same thing. And then – the art of a doctor who, after examining the patient and asking questions, understand that this is not just a blues, lack of sunlight or accumulated physical fatigue, but the symptoms of an incipient or progressive disease, “Pavlova said in an interview with radio Sputnik…
She recommends that if you suddenly begin to feel severe weakness and causeless fatigue, immediately take a coronavirus test.
“Since everyone now knows about this symptom, a red line passing through this disease, everyone should be on their guard and not miss this story. If you feel physical, emotional weakness, fatigue, it is better, as they say, to play it safe, take a PCR test and seek help in a timely manner, “said the endocrinologist.
According to Pavlova, the feeling of fatigue when infected with a coronavirus infection can be caused by changes in the work of various body systems.
“This is due to serious changes in the immune system, serious changes in the functioning of the brain, in the tissue of the nervous system. The properties of blood change greatly, which impairs the blood supply to many organs, so we feel physically weak. All this together manifests itself in a weakened muscle tone, a suppressed emotional background. This happens because the entire body is in a state of inflammation, ”explained Zukhra Pavlova.
On December 1, a doctor from South Africa, Unben Pillay, said that at the moment, with the disease with the new COVID-19 Omicron strain, patients are experiencing the flu, dry cough, fever and night sweats. At the same time, according to the doctor, the disease is still manifested in a very mild form. However, he pointed out that it is too early to assert about the mass nature of certain symptoms.
