With the emergence of the new Coronavirus, people have experienced countless medical complications and health problems that have also affected their mental health.
Suffering from mild to severe symptoms, many have complained about the long-term effects on their health, however, one must remain alert and be aware of all the signs of COVID-19 infection.
Recently, it is believed that corona can also be detected through your nails and earlobes, while it may come as a surprise, this may be due to the link between the deadly virus and the oxygen levels in the blood, according to the “timesofindia” website.
Corona and blood oxygen levels
As is known, the new corona virus has the potential to cause blood oxygen levels to fluctuate at alarming levels.
COVID-19 enters the body through the respiratory system, causing a person’s lungs to be directly infected through inflammation. This can affect the efficiency of transporting oxygen into the bloodstream, however, oxygen impairment can occur at different levels of Covid, not just in patients with Critical cases placed on ventilators.
However, not every patient infected with Coronavirus has low oxygen levels, some only develop symptoms common to Corona, however, with the help of the pulse oximeter, one can determine the level of oxygen in the body.
Could your nails and earlobes indicate that you have Corona?
Nails and earlobes can provide insight into blood oxygen levels, which can also indicate whether or not you have had COVID-19.
According to the Symptom Study app, you can check your oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter – an easy process that shines a light on your earlobes or fingernails, and scales the range of oxygen levels in your body.
However, it is essential to remove any nail polish, dirt, or false nails while using the oximeter, as this can disrupt the process.
Common signs of COVID-19
Since the new Corona virus appeared in the world, people have been experiencing different and varied ranges of symptoms, although the list continues to increase and expand, some of the more common symptoms remain the same.
Here are some of the more classic symptoms of COVID-19.
