Night sweats – an unusual symptom of Omicron infection

The first information about non-specific symptoms of coronavirus infection appeared in December. They were reported, among others, by British doctors, where Omikron arrived very quickly and equally efficiently displaced the Delta dominant there (today in Great Britain it already accounts for 96% of all COVID-19 cases). The first symptom of infection with the new variant that the patients observed at night was increased sweating. The patients described the ailment as extremely persistent, requiring the replacement of nightwear and bedding, and as significantly hindering sleep.

According to medics, night sweats are a new symptom of COVID-19 that was either absent or too rare to be considered common when infected with previous SARS-CoV-2 variants. In the case of Omikron, it occurs often, so if anyone notices this ailment, they should be vigilant – they may have been infected with the coronavirus.

Omicron symptoms that appear at night. A cough and a sore throat are effective in disrupting sleep

But excessive sweating is not the only sign of Omicron infection that can be seen at night. Patients also complain of bouts of dry cough that awakens them from sleep and does not allow them to go back to sleep for a long time. Coughing is currently not as common a symptom of COVID-19 as it was with previous variants (especially Alpha), but it can be a symptom of both Delta and Omicron. It is more common in children, and it becomes a barking cough, similar to that associated with a disease called croup.

A scratchy throat and sore throat caused by e.g. drying of the oral mucosa. This dryness increases your thirst and requires you to get out of bed to stay hydrated.

During our sleep, the immune system works hard

All of these symptoms cause severe sleep disturbance, which is very bad news because proper regeneration through sleep is crucial to fighting infection.

Scientists highlight the role of cytokines, the production of which is multiplied during sleep, which help to fight inflammation in the body and mediate the building of adaptive immunity. Except that, when we sleep, the immune memory is strengthened, thanks to which our body learns to recognize, remember and react to dangerous antigens.

Therefore, it is worth consulting a doctor on how to alleviate the nighttime symptoms of COVID-19 so that they do not disturb sleep and allow us to fully regenerate and increase the chance of quickly dealing with the coronavirus.

Insomnia as a symptom of long covid

Sleep problems don’t always end after you recover from COVID-19. Insomnia is one of the more common complaints of convalescentssuffering from the so-called long covid (COVID-19 long tail). As he said in an interview with WP abcZdrowie, prof. Konrad Rejdak, head of the Department and Clinic of Neurology at the Medical University of Lublin, the cause may be neurological, but sleep disorders may also be the result of stress.

– Sleep disorders of various types have definitely worsened during the pandemic. There are plenty of such cases and it is coupled with the entirety of neurological disorders, post-infection complications related to SARS-CoV-2 – spjega l-espert.

The professor also pointed out that insomnia is not the only sleep disorder experienced by long covid patients. Healers also dream nightmares and suffer from sleep paralysis and even narcolepsy.

What are the symptoms of Omikron?

Night sweats, coughing and sore throats are not the only symptoms of Omikron infection experienced by patients. Patients also often complain of a stuffy and / or runny nose, sneezing, headache, muscle pain and general weakness. It happens that the temperature is slightly elevatedhigh fever is less common than with previous SARS-CoV-2 variants.

In addition to these common cold symptoms, there are less specific symptoms, such as: intestinal ailments, back pain, enlarged lymph nodes, eye pain, lightheadedness or the so-called brain fog. Children sometimes develop a strange rash and loss of appetite. The latter symptom may mean that children are also experiencing a loss of taste, but are unable to verbalize it.
