New Omicron sub-variants are rapidly becoming widespread, although compared to a year ago, there is significantly less concern related to Covid-19 because the symptoms of Omicron have generally been minor.
Beginning in 2022, Omicron surpassed the Delta variety and took over as the dominant strain, allaying people’s concerns. While Covid may have changed over time and appear less hazardous in its current form, the likelihood of a new wave is always a cause for worry because Omicron, mild or not, also has a profound and harmful impact on human health that may not be obvious at first appearance.
The most recent variety, Omicron XBB, is very contagious and immune-evasive, yet it only causes minor symptoms in people who have received vaccinations. It has reached the Indian states of Rajasthan, Karnataka, West Bengal, Odisha, Delhi, Puducherry, and Tamil Nadu. According to a recent assessment by an expert panel, Indian patients who tested positive for the Covid-19 Omicron sub-lineage XBB had moderate symptoms and no worsening of their condition.
Omicron variation may not now be causing many people too much concern, but over time, experts warn, it may have a number of negative effects on human health.
Omicron is influencing people’s health in the following 5 ways:
1. Chronic fatigue: After recovering from Covid, if you have been exhausted for months, you should see a doctor right away. Particularly in the current wave, people are arriving with chronic fatigue syndrome after getting better from Covid.
2. Muscle or joint problems are sometimes disregarded and treated slowly, but restless leg syndrome should be taken seriously because it might make it difficult to fall asleep.
3. Cardiac problems have increased as a result of Covid and Omicron use. Omicron can cause coronary artery blockage despite having very minor symptoms, which might result in an unexpected heart attack and serious complications.
4. People are arriving with stroke and its associated consequences. More people suffer these issues since Covid tends to clog veins and arteries.
5. Lung issue: Issues similar to chronic bronchitis are affecting the lungs. Patients are presenting with persistent coughs and breathing pain due to excessive pollution levels and the continuing Covid wave.
