"Am I going to get well?" : Covid-19 patients testify to persistent symptoms after several months
"The symptoms were over and then it got worse"Julie, 40, noticed the first "harmless" symptoms in early April. A slight cold and sneezing, quickly accompanied by a loss of smell. "I had aches and fatigue, but nothing to do with what I know now," said this mother of two, "exhausted" after three months of illness. For this child protection professional in Ardèche, who tested positive, the situation went from a "little cold" to respiratory failure in mid-April. Then a relapse, less than a month ago. Julie now describes "migraines which do not pass", "incessant nausea".
Olivier's first symptoms, in March, also seemed "rather mild". Body aches, loss of taste and smell, chest pain and fatigue. "The turning point took place at the beginning of May", at the end of a lull of two to three weeks, tells this inhabitant of Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine), also tested positive: "A point in the heart with tingling in the brain made me fall. My body was shaking. I thought I was going to die. " A battery of examinations with a cardiologist does not indicate anything, but "leaps of heart" return for this 44-year-old man "three to four times a day".
These cardiac symptoms sometimes give rise to complications, as experienced by Philippe, a 33-year-old Parisian who also tested positive by PCR. "I was arrested on March 4 ... until last week," summarizes the thirty-something working in the insurance industry. In addition to the cough and shortness of breath "that did not go away", Philippe developed tachycardia - a symptom "quite common" among patients followed in Rennes, observes Pierre Tattevin. "I was already being treated for arrhythmia and hypertension, but after the tachycardia, I developed heart failure," reports Philippe.
