Headaches are among the most common symptoms of a coronavirus infection – both during the acute phase of the illness and during long COVID. They can be extremely distressing and significantly limit quality of life. Learn more about the underlying causes, what to look out for, and when supplemental oxygenation may be beneficial.

Typical symptoms of headaches in COVID-19

  • Dull, pressing pain throughout the head
  • Photosensitivity and general fatigue
  • Accompanied by fever or shortness of breath possible
  • Often associated with Long Covid

Why do headaches occur with Corona?

Several factors can contribute to its development:

  • Inflammatory reactions in the nervous system
  • Reduced oxygen saturation due to lung involvement
  • Fever and dehydration
  • Stress and tension caused by the disease itself

Careful monitoring of oxygen supply is particularly important in cases of respiratory symptoms.

When to see a doctor?

  • For very severe or sudden headaches
  • For neurological symptoms such as visual disturbances or speech problems
  • If symptoms persist for weeks (Long Covid)

A pulse oximeter can help monitor oxygen saturation.
