Covid 19 cause stroke and heart disease
Im 21 years old female. I feel chill but not sure is it because of raining day recently. I feel my whole body is warmer than usual but no fever but my hands are hot .My head is jumping like a heart and my hands and foot sometime numb when i was sleeping. Today is the fifth day I have these symptoms. I saw the news that covid 19 will cause stroke and heart disease even for young people .Are the symptoms described above related to covid 19?

We understand your worries especially we’re now in the midst of COVID-19.
For you information, WHO listed common symptoms for COVID-19 infection as follows:
- Fever (more than 37.5 degrees celcius)
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Aches and pains
- Sore throat
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
So, from the complain above, it is not related to coronavirus.
However, are encouraged to answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories with appropriate steps that should be taken.This initiative is to reduce crowd coming to the hospital for screening in fear of coronavirus infection as well as to avoid you going out of the house unnecessarily.
For the meantime, I would suggest you monitor your symptoms first. If it gets any worse, I would suggest you visit a doctor to find out the cause and receive appropriate treatment for it.
You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you to stay put at home as ordered by the authorities. With everyone’s cooperation, I hope we can conquer this outbreak before it get any worse. Thank you.
