COVID-19 has perplexed the medical world with the range of harmful effects on different aspects of our health. Though there is no specific understanding of how the coronavirus triggers several neurological issues, including stroke, many people have reported somewhat concerning behaviours.
Changes in mental awareness, disorientation, cognitive delay, difficulty in interaction, forgetfulness, and fatigue are signs which warrant attention and need for immediate medical check-ups. In addition, doctors are vocal about other symptoms such as clotting in the legs & lungs, the immune system overreacting to the disease, and causing life-altering illnesses.

Poor oxygenation or sticky blood is the main reason behind stroke, but it is difficult to tell whether it is a newly developed issue or COVID-19 just worsened a pre-existing condition. For example, people with diabetes, hypertension, and smoking history are predisposed to stroke because their blood vessels are already damaged.
However, the main thing noticed in the blood culture of some COVID recovered patients indicates that clotting markers appear significantly higher than the regular count, which could also lead to new cases of neurological instability.

If you have concerns which may appear subtle right now discuss it with a neurologist today to prevent tomorrow’s harm.

When the brain perceives a threat, the adrenal glands start secreting a large amount of adrenaline and cortisol, the primary stress hormone. A surge in cortisol level is accompanied by blood glucose which prepares the body to switch to fight-or-flight mode. In addition, high cortisol and glucose alter immune functions and suppress the digestive system.
High cortisol levels are associated with chronic stress, which may make you feel grumpy in the morning, cause digestive problems, muscle weakness, obesity, and, in severe cases, heart disease, even a heart attack.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, then consult a specialist immediately.

Yes, negative thinking has some pretty grave damaging impacts that can reduce the brain's capacity to reason, remember and form memories. Negative thinking severely impacts concentration, spatial cognition, and language, slowly depletes the brain resources, and increases the risk of dementia. In addition, negative thinking may increase the levels of tau protein and amyloid deposits, both of which can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
