Is headache and dizziness due to novel coronavirus pneumonia?

The main clinical manifestations of novel coronavirus pneumonia are fever, malaise, and dry cough. As for headache and dizziness, they are generally uncommon in patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia. However, in patients with fever, headache and dizziness may occur when the body temperature rises, so headache and dizziness are not specific symptoms, but are common to all patients with fever. If a patient with novel coronavirus pneumonia has an underlying disease, such as cerebrovascular disease or hypertension, there is a possibility that the underlying lesion may fluctuate during the course of the pneumonia. If blood pressure rises again, headache and dizziness can also occur. Therefore, headache and dizziness are not specific symptoms of novel coronavirus pneumonia, but may be complicating symptoms.
