In an interview with psychiatrist Marcel Dodica, a warning was sounded that the transferred covid could backfire on the occurrence of panic attacks.
The doctor recalled that more in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, it became clear that covid can cause serious damage to neurological health. In particular, COVID-19 infection caused inflammation of the circulatory system in patients, and the consequence of this was impaired blood circulation in the brain, oxygen deficiency experienced by its cells.
Doditsa noted that susceptibility to panic attacks can occur as a side effect of problems with brain caused by covid.
“Panic attacks are one of the most common side effects after coronavirus. Now more than 37% of patients experience neurological disorders precisely after suffering a coronavirus infection,” the psychiatrist said.
Speaking about how this condition manifests itself, the physician clarified that a person may experience sudden severe anxiety, fear, panic, fear of suffocation or death. Physiologically, panic attacks are manifested by heart palpitations, tremors, shortness of breath with a feeling of lack of air.
“This condition requires professional psychotherapeutic assistance,” Dodica emphasized.
