New Covid XEC symptom 'severely impacts daily functioning' warns doctor

A doctor has issued a warning about the most common symptom of Covid XEC, which is causing severe disruption to patients' daily lives. As the variant continues to spread across the UK, medical experts are increasingly concerned about its impact.

Dr Snieguole Geige from the 'It’s Me and You Clinic' revealed that "insistent and persistent fatigue" is the most frequently observed symptom. She said: "From my clinical perspective, the most common symptom we're observing is an intense and persistent fatigue that seems to linger longer than with previous variants.

On the subject of the most serious symptom, however, Dr Geige explained: "The most serious symptom is the potential for sudden, acute respiratory failure in individuals who may have previously only experienced mild to moderate symptoms."

She described XEC as "particularly dangerous" because "patients can deteriorate quickly", reports Surrey Live. Another factor contributing to XEC's spread is its "unpredictable trajectory". Dr Geige explained: "Someone can appear to be recovering and suddenly face a rapid decline, often due to microvascular complications in the lungs, leading to severe oxygen deprivation."
