Covid, even though mild, may affect people for a longer duration up to a year and create increased incidents of heart attacks and strokes." "We know that Covid itself in the acute phases causes incidences of strokes and clots in the lungs.

But we are concerned about long-term effects also as patients with mild symptoms can face heart attacks," he added. The expert asked the people not to ignore the symptoms if they arise and said that it is important to get a checkup done by a doctor. "The first important step is that all Covid-infected patients should not ignore the symptoms.

Even if, you've recovered from mild Covid, which means that if you feel breathless if you feel chest pain if you feel discomfort or palpitations, it's important to get a checkup," he said.

Dr Seth further stressed that people with pre-existing diseases must get their checkups done regarding the functioning of their hearts. "Secondly, we say that those who with multiple risk factors have Covid, who's known to have pre-existing heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, its important for them to understand to get a check-up done like ECG, Eco cardiogram which tells about the functioning of the heart and ECG tells about any palpitations," he said. "Thirdly, for those who want to get back to active life or those who are exercising prior to covid and say that they are recovered.

Steve Thompson's documentary called Head On: Rugby, Dementia and Me will air on BBC Two tonight (October 5) and the former rugby star will go into detail about his dementia diagnosis and how he struggles to remember some of his finest sporting moments.The former rugby union player played in the position of hooker for Northampton Saints and England during his career, and he was once England's most-capped hooker.However, his dementia diagnosis has caused the rugby star to lose his memory of his sporting achievements, including his MBE and 2003 World Cup win.But when was Steve Thompson diagnosed with dementia and what other health battles has he faced?Here's everything you need to know:Steve was initially forced to quit rugby in 2007 after picking up a neck injury during a match against Biarritz for Northampton.The rugby star went on to receive a second opinion from doctors about the injury, and he then returned to rugby a short while later.However, Steve's sporting career ended for good in 2011 after he endured a second neck injury, causing him to experience numbness and dizziness after hitting a scrum machine.The injury came just two days before his debut with the London Wasps.The rugby player attempted to carry on training despite the injury and played for an hour in the 14-12 win at Worcester, which was his only game for the club and his last in professional rugby.He told the BBC: I went to the specialist and he advised me it isn't safe to carry on playing."It just went. I was gutted.

Sri Lanka central bank to hold rates as inflation worries persist

(Reuters) – Sri Lanka's central bank is likely to maintain interest rates on Thursday in an effort to get a grip on inflation which has remained stubbornly high despite a sharp contraction in the crisis-hit economy.Nine out of 14 economists and analysts polled by Reuters said they expect rates to remain unchanged as the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) waits for the effects of its earlier hikes to filter through to the economy and for inflation to stabilise as the economy cools."The pace of inflation appears to be slowing but it is also largely cost push inflation caused by depreciation and global commodity prices, which a rate hike would have limited impact on," said Dimantha Mathew, head of research for Colombo-based investment firm First Capital.The CBSL has raised rates by a record 950 basis points this year to battle high inflation which is adding to the country's economic woes.However, inflation has remained high, hitting a record peak of 68.9% in September with food inflation climbing to 93.7%.Sri Lanka's economy shrank 8.4% in the quarter through June from a year ago in one of the steepest declines seen in a three-month period, amid fertilizer and fuel shortages.
