There is an increase in the number of patients with memory impairment and attention deficit after coronavirus infection. According to RBK, this was stated by Russian neurologists. According to them, problems of orientation in time and space, as well as cognitive dysfunction in general, have become more common in recent days. Health workers cited stress and fear as the main reasons for such results.
The second reason is the neurotoxic activity of coronavirus infection (impairment of motor, sensory functions, emotional status, integrative functions of the brain). It is emphasized that lung complications caused by coronavirus can lead to pathologies of the nervous system. The patient's weakened lungs are unable to function properly and provide the cerebral cortex with oxygen. To combat these consequences, scientists recommend avoiding stress and taking vitamin and mineral complexes high in B vitamins, magnesium and zinc.
