“Coronavirus for most of the people who have recovered from it does not pass without a trace,” says neurologist Natan Davidov. – Often, after a coronavirus infection, a person has disorders in the nervous system, as well as in the functioning of the brain. After the illness, many patients still have asthenia – general weakness of the body, sleep disturbance, as well as cognitive impairment in the form of memory loss and mental performance. Very common postcovid symptoms are impaired sense of smell or its complete loss (anosmia). This condition can last from 1 month to 1 year.
Very often there are complaints of dizziness (vestibular neuronitis), when the coronavirus gives a complication to the auditory nerve. Such patients report severe dizziness, unsteadiness when walking, nausea, and vomiting.
The infection disrupts the functions of the central nervous system and even a person who has not previously had such diseases can suffer from this.
It can be anxiety disorders, and depressive states, and depression.
