Doctors warn coronavirus survivors about 'brain fog'

Therapists Alexey Vodovozov and Andrey Zvonkov, in an interview with Ura.ru, said that people who have recovered from coronavirus may experience imbalance or “brain fog”.

“We know for sure that brain fog exists,” Vodovozov said.

According to him, this phenomenon is directly related to brain damage with COVID-19.

“And it is different. We get balance problems, photophobia develops when a person cannot look at the light or it seems to him that the room has suddenly become dark, although the light level has not changed. And hearing problems. The main thing is that they are long-term, and we don’t know how to rehabilitate such people, ”the doctor said.

In turn, Zvonkov pointed out that the lack of coordination in most cases is associated with problems with blood vessels or intoxication. A viral infection is unlikely to lead to this, and a bacterial infection that has joined is completely, the specialist said. He noted that vascular damage in this case is a problem of non-infectious origin.

Previously, American scientists have identified changes in the brain in those who have undergone COVID-19 as in Alzheimer's disease.

Prior to this, the neurologist of the Russian Ministry of Health, Mikhail Martynov, said that after the coronavirus, a person may have an increased risk of ischemic stroke.
