New Delhi: Those who have contracted the corona infection are aware of the problems that may arise after recovery from COVID-19. From fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, sleep problems to lack of energy, there are many symptoms that people are experiencing after suffering from a viral infection. But if you are experiencing symptoms like joint pain, memory problems, extreme fatigue or insomnia, you may be suffering from fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia or fibromyalgia syndrome is a condition that causes pain and fatigue throughout the body. Fibromyalgia symptoms can often be confused with arthritis or joint inflammation. However, like arthritis, it has not been found to cause joint pain or swelling and muscle damage.
Dr. Bipin Jibhakate of Wockhardt Hospital Mumbai says that Fibromyalgia is a painful condition, and the pain usually occurs in the muscles, soft tissues and nerves of the body, with pain being the most common symptom in this condition.
What are the causes and symptoms of fibromyalgia?
According to the doctor, the main symptoms of this condition include sleeplessness, muscle and joint pain and fatigue. In addition, this condition is often accompanied by anxiety and depression, trouble concentrating, frequent stomach upsets, pain, numbness in the hands and feet.
The exact causes of fibromyalgia are not clear, with different causes for different people. The reasons behind this can also be genetic. There are also some risk factors that can trigger the development of this condition.
How to recognize fibromyalgia?
Bipin Jibhakte says that it is not easy to diagnose the disease as there is no specific test for it. But a doctor can learn about fibromyalgia based on your symptoms. He says the main feature of fibromyalgia is pain all over the body, so the doctor will ask you to describe your pain in order to differentiate between fibromyalgia and other diseases with similar symptoms.
Is fibromyalgia a treatable disease?
Fibromyalgia can affect your quality of life, but it is still a treatable disease. The doctor explained that fibromyalgia is not a life-threatening disease, but it can take time for the patient to recover. Therefore, the patient should not miss the treatment in between, otherwise it may worsen your symptoms.
