Hi dr fowler. i dont think you got my initial question. i have a new question and other drs can also reply please. for covid 19 survivors that still experience headaches does this mean they are having a symptoms of a brain complication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID and headache: Thanks for clarifying that. No, headaches are a very common symptom with COVID 19. One study showed 13.6 % of COVID patients studied had a headache. Some people are worried about becoming hypercoagulable with blood clots to the brain but most people just have the type of headache that comes with upper respiratory infections. Hope this answers your question.
