Two new symptoms according to study of 214 coronavirus patients

A study from the Chinese city of Wuhan where the outbreak of coronavirus began has revealed two new possible symptoms to look out for.

The most common symptoms of coronavirus are known to be a high fever and a dry cough.

Many people have speculated regarding other symptoms, including loss of taste and smell, with experts working to discover conclusive symptoms of the deadly virus.

Now, the new study has revealed two more mild symptoms which could also show you've been infected.

Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan have warned that a headache and dizziness could also be indicators that you've been infected, reports The Mirror.

In the study, the researchers analysed 214 coronavirus patients, asking them about their initial symptoms.

The results revealed that 36% experienced some form of neurological symptom, including headache, dizziness, muscle inflammation and nerve pain.

In some cases, these symptoms were described alongside respiratory symptoms, including a cough and fever.

However, in other cases, patients only experienced neurological symptoms.

In their study, published in JAMA Neurology, the researchers, lead by Ling Mao, wrote: “Some patients without typical symptoms (fever, cough, anorexia, and diarrhoea) of COVID-19 came to the hospital with only neurologic manifestation as their presenting symptoms.

“Therefore, for patients with COVID-19, we need to pay close attention to their neurologic manifestations, especially for those with severe infections, which may have contributed to their death.

“Moreover, during the epidemic period of COVID-19, when seeing patients with these neurologic manifestations, physicians should consider SARS-CoV-2 infection as a differential diagnosis to avoid delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis and prevention of transmission.”

Aside from headaches and dizziness, there are several other mild symptoms to be mindful of.

The most common symptoms of the virus are a dry cough and high temperature - with the government saying anyone who experiences these symptoms must self-isolate for seven days.
