Doctors Identify Headache, Stomach Pain and 4 other New Coronavirus Symptoms! Details

The Union Health Ministry had included few symptoms to the list of symptoms of novel coronavirus in June. It included diarrhoea, sore throat and fatigue. After coming across fresh cases, doctors have noticed new symptoms. 

According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, doctors at Chest and King Koti hospitals in Hyderabad said that that the new symptoms which includes severe diarrhoea, headache and vomiting are delaying the process of diagnosis and treatment. Due to the new symptoms, doctors will have to improve treatment and help patients who are suffering from the new symptoms. 

Doctors also added that few patients do not have common symptoms of COVID19 such as cough, fever and breathlessness but have the new symptoms, making it difficult for diagnosis. 

The news report quoted a senior doctor as saying: "These cases are presented as caused due to food-poisoning and seasonal change leading to stomach upset. But it is the virus which is attacking gastro-intestinal track first instead of lungs. It is presented in the form of severe diarrhoea and vomiting causing dehydration. This, in turn, leads to weakness, lower oxygen level, low BP, low sugar and sudden collapse."

People are finding it alarming since the new symptoms such as stomach ache weren’t included earlier and hence some people might have failed to test. 

The report also states that there are 67 cases reported at the hospital from June 20 to June 30. Of these, 30 deaths were caused within a few hours after their admission to the hospital and the symptoms in these cases are not the regular ones
