On what day after infection with the emerging corona virus may a person have a stroke?

What are its symptoms?

What are its types?

What are the reasons for their occurrence in a Covid-19 patient?

Over the past months, doctors have noted several data indicating a link between Covid-19 and stroke.

Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off, such as when a blood clot or blockage occurs.

This leads to an ischemic stroke, or when an artery in the brain ruptures and bleeding occurs, and then it is called a haemorrhagic stroke.

Ischemic strokes are the most common.

And the effects of Corona are not limited to the lung, as the virus causes changes in the work of organs and cells in several places of the body, and it also stimulates the response of our immune system, which naturally produces chemicals in our bodies, which causes more changes in the way cells work, these biological changes It can increase the risk of developing a blood clot, which increases the risk of stroke.

One possible explanation is that severe cases of Covid-19 can lead to the failure of many organs, including kidney failure.

Having serious disease and the failure of many organs can increase the risk of stroke.

Covid-19 is also believed to affect the blood clotting system in the body, and it appears to promote clot formation, according to the Weillcornell Medicine website.

According to the Stroke website, the Corona virus may cause a stroke, about 9 days after the onset of symptoms on a person.

Stroke symptoms

A stroke can happen to anyone of any age and at any time, and it is important to know how to spot the warning signs of a stroke.

Signs of stroke and dealing with them, according to the Struk website:

Face: Can a person smile?

Did his face slip on one side?

Arms: Can a person raise and hold their arms?

Speech: Can the person speak clearly?

Is his words unclear?

Time: If you see any of these three signs, it is time to call 911 immediately.

Other symptoms of stroke

The FAST test helps detect the three most common symptoms of stroke, but there are other signs you should always take seriously, including:

Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, including the legs, hands, or feet.

Difficulty finding words or speaking in clear sentences.

Sudden blurred vision or vision loss in one or both eyes.

Sudden memory loss or confusion, dizziness, or sudden falls.

Sudden, severe headache.

Also, corona may be associated with the occurrence of a transient ischaemic attack, which is a type of temporary stroke that occurs as a result of an interruption or a temporary decrease in the brain's blood supply, and lasts at least 5 minutes, and then the blood supply returns to normal, so it does not happen Permanent brain damage.

And if you have had a stroke, this means that you are at greater risk of having another stroke.

Transient stroke, also known as mini-stroke, is the stroke itself, except that the symptoms last for a short period.

And if you also develop symptoms, call 911, as you may have a stroke.

Experts say that stroke can occur in any patient with Covid-19 regardless of his age, and even those with few or no symptoms.

Many people with Covid-19 under the age of 30 have suffered strokes even when their symptoms were mild.

And it has been proven that the Corona virus may cause the development of micro-clots or "small clots" (microthrombi), and these clots can travel to the lung and impede blood flow to it, which is called a "pulmonary embolism", or move into the blood circulation of the brain and cause brain attack.

According to data, there are categories of Corona patients who are more likely to have a stroke, and they are:

People with health conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

Those who have severe symptoms of Covid-19 disease, and the Corona virus may cause a stroke about 9 days after the start of symptoms in people who still have symptoms at this time.
