Fighting post-COVID weakness
The Hindu
Sweating, intermittent headaches and joint pain lasting weeks after recovery
A five-minute walk or taking the stairs has become a daunting task for several people who have recovered from COVID. They want to get back to their regular life, but the ‘residual’ weakness post COVID is tiring the body even after minimal activity.
Some more have complained of profuse sweating, tremors and even intermittent headaches. These after effects of the virus are lasting for a few days to weeks.
Consultant physicians said that the fatigue, and joint pain are not limited to COVID. “The weakness is experienced after any viral infection as body expends energy in fighting virus. One of the symptoms of infection is decreased appetite. The body will become weak when high amount of energy is spent in the fight and when appetite is low,” said Dr. Apoorva Munigela, consultant physician at AIG Hospitals.
