The most common symptoms COVID patient experiences are fever, troubled breathing, and cough. While some rest and over the counter medicines are enough to tackle these concerns effectively, some signs require emergency medical care. If the COVID infected person shows any signs of cardiac or respiratory distress, they need to be immediately assisted with emergency medical care.
Some other symptoms that require emergency medical care are:
Cough
Fever
Loss of taste and smell
If the face or lips are turning bluish
Fogginess and inability to stay awake.
Unable to talk or concentrate
Pain in the chest and a feeling of pressure
Pressure in the abdomen
Seizures
Confusion
Labored breathing
Severe body ache
Difficulty in speaking
Drooping of the face
Severe and sudden pain in any part of the body
Unexplained bleeding
Severe diarrhea and persistent vomiting
The worst sign that a COVID positive patient tends to show is respiratory distress. One should always be on high alert to detect possible signs of cardiac or respiratory distress and react promptly to it, considering it a medical emergency. If a person suffers from a lung condition, the risk factor increases considerably. These would mean including moderate to severe asthma problems, pulmonary disease, or other chronic disorders of the lung. The same alert level is necessary for people who have suffered from a cardiac condition, have suffered a stroke, or have undergone an organ transplant.
Some people may not experience any symptoms gravely; thus, it is advisable to be in constant touch with your primary healthcare provider. Their instructions of taking care, rest, and seeking emergency medical care should all be followed to the T to prevent any untoward incident.
