My 20 year old son suffered with Covid-19 four months
ago, the symptoms were relatively mild but now he is
finding it almost impossible to study due to his lack of
concentration, Could this be connected to Covid-19?
Brain fog, although not a medical term is used by
individuals to describe how they feel when their thinking
becomes sluggish and not sharp.
We can all experience this feeling from time to time due to
the fact we have been sick or have taken a medication
where the side affects have caused us to feel fuzzy headed,
but as we recuperate or the medication wears off, our
thinking goes back to normal.
This is not the case with Brain fog caused by COVID-19 as
it can can permenantly damage the brain, due to the lack of
oxygen, it can cause encephalitis, and in some case
strokes. Surprisingly, it can affect people who had minor
symptoms when suffering the virus aswell as those who
were hospitalised.There are now teams of specialists
available to help each individual deal with their symptoms.
More common effects of Brain Fog caused by COVID are:
Poor concentration.
Feeling confused.
Thinking more slowly than usual.
Fuzzy thoughts.
Forgetfulness.
Lost words.
Mental fatigue.
Your GP can organise for an appointment with a Specialist
in this field to help your son recover.
