Japanese doctor Koichi Hirahata warned of the serious consequences of a mild form of coronavirus. A specialist from the Hirahata clinic in Tokyo told RIA Novosti .
Hirahata noted that the consequences of the illness for many patients are often worse than the virus itself. According to him, more than a third of those who had the effects of the coronavirus became bedridden after the disease. The doctor also said that even those who had only one day with a fever or were completely ill without symptoms face serious consequences.
So, among patients suffering from the effects of the coronavirus, 97.1 percent complain of weakness, 86.8 percent of depression, and 83 percent of “head fog”. Symptoms also include headache, insomnia, difficulty breathing, lack of appetite, hair loss and pain throughout the body.
The specialist added that relatively young people up to 40-50 years old mainly suffer from the consequences of the disease in a mild form: they account for more than 80 percent of cases. He also stressed that women face this ailment one and a half times more often than men.
Previously, an immunologist-allergist Vladimir Bolibok told that gastrointestinal symptoms are most typical for young patients with coronavirus. He added that children and adolescents often suffer from abdominal pain, loose stools, loss of appetite and heartburn.
