New Covid-19 Symptoms, Happy Hypoxia Now Occurs More Often, Patients Look Healthy But Suddenly Losing Consciousness Cause Death
–
GridStar.ID – Some time ago, new symptoms of the Covid-19 virus were said to cause sudden death.
Three Covid-19 patients in Banyumas, according to Banyumas Regent Achmad Husein, showed these new symptoms.
This symptom is called happy hypoxia who do not have the common symptoms of a corona patient.
“People seem happy, there are no coughs, colds, heat, but the oxygen saturation in the blood gradually drops,” said Husein, quoted by Kompas.com, Wednesday (19/08).
In fact, the same case did not only occur in Banyumas, but also occurred in patients in various countries.
Reporting from Medicine.net, Hypoxia is a condition in which the oxygen supply is very low and tends to be less for the body.
Happy Hypoxia itself can cause loss of consciousness to death in sufferers of Covid-19.
If the oxygen in the blood is low or reduced, a person is very likely to experience shortness of breath.
This is what can be life threatening, especially for Covid-19 patients.
There are various symptoms shown by Covid-19 sufferers who experience Happy Hypoxia, ranging from acute to chronic.
In addition, the intensity of the symptoms also varies widely, from mild to severe.
However, in general the symptoms of Happy Hypoxia that often occur are shortness of breath, fast heartbeat and rapid breathing.
Other symptoms include blue lips or nail beds, breathing problems such as asthma, and an abnormal form of hemoglobin.
Then, severe Happy Hypoxia can even cause symptoms such as difficulty communicating, confusion, to coma and death.
This condition can be experienced by all ages, from children to the elderly.
Mostly, children experience symptoms such as mouth breathing and large amounts of saliva.
The cause of the condition of Happy Hypoxia itself comes from the environment and tissues in the body.
Lung problems such as Covid-19 patients can also be the cause of the condition Happy Hypoxia.
According to the Medical News Today report, Covid-19 sufferers are declared to have Happy Hypoxia if they do a physical examination using an oximeter.
In addition, a more accurate examination can be done with lung function tests.
If a Covid-19 patient experiences this condition, it is advisable to carry out some further treatment.
Even though many Covid-19 patients are reported to have Happy Hypoxia, further research is still needed in this regard.
As reported by Kompas.com, a pulmonary specialist who is also the General Chair of the Indonesian Lung Doctors Association (PDPI), Agus Dwi Susanto, confirmed that the condition of Happy Hypoxia was also found in Covid-19 patients in Indonesia.
According to him, it is still a question mark why Covid-19 patients still look normal when experiencing Happy Hypoxia.
“This is still a question mark for experts in the world. Why are oxygen patients already low, how come they tend to look normal,” said Agus.
Even though it looks normal, patients with Covid-19 who experience Happy Hypoxia can not be helped if they are not treated immediately.
“So maybe at first the patient will look normal, but if he is happy hypoxia for a long time and is not given oxygen therapy, then he will suddenly occur, which is called sudden death,” said Agus.
