Muscel virus in toddlers

One omicron side effect doctors are seeing is night sweats , with Covid sufferers reporting waking up to soaked sheets. My pillow looked like a glass of water had been spilled onto it and the sheets were soaked," Jason Borgmann said.

Borgmann also noted another unusual symptom in his daughter, who was complaining about lower back pain. Doctor Smith said symptoms shouldn't be ignored, even if you think you may be suffering from only the common cold. Pale, grey, or blue colored skin is a warning sign of omicron that doctors are urging people to look out for. They say the rare complication in serious Covid cases means oxygen levels in the blood are low.

The CDC called it an "emergency warning sign" and said people should seek help immediately if you notice the change in color, along with trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, inability to stay awake, or new confusion.

While headaches, dizziness, and confusion are common symptoms of the virus, AARP detailed an alarming side effect reported by some people who were diagnosed. Some patients without a history of mental health issues were said to experience mild to severe hallucinations. Doctors said the symptom could be because of low levels of oxygen going to the brain, or a result of the virus' direct attack on the brain.

Doctor Saurabh Rajpal, assistant professor of cardiology at The Ohio State University, said if you had Covid and start to notice chest pain, shortness of breath, or a racing heart while doing the same level of exercise that you did before your infection, call your doctor and get checked out.

Blood clots are another troubling symptom doctors have noted, along with high blood sugar in some older adults. Researchers are also looking into a possible connection between Covid and hearing loss, AARP reports. Because omicron symptoms can be mistaken for the common cold or flu, doctors urge anyone experiencing them to isolate until symptoms subside.
