When older people become infected with SARS or coronavirus, some symptoms may be the basis for an immediate visit to a doctor, said Nadezhda Runikhina, chief freelance geriatric specialist at the Moscow Health Department.
According to RIA Novosti, these symptoms include pathological drowsiness, confusion, lack of appetite, severe weakness or falls.
According to the specialist, in the majority of older people, even a mild course of the disease can lead to an exacerbation of chronic ailments, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, chronic diseases of the broncho-pulmonary system. Therefore, the patient or his relatives should carefully monitor the symptoms of the disease.
“If a patient older than 70 develops pathological drowsiness, confusion, refusal to eat, severe weakness, a person stops caring for himself, moves, he falls, this is a cause for serious concern,” Runikhina emphasized.
