Omicron is more and more widespread and predominant, but there is a new symptom that seems to occur while you sleep: night sweats.
Covid-19 infections continue to rise, but in recent days some patients have reported one strange new symptom, we are talking about the night sweats. (Read also: New worrying nocturnal symptom of the Omicron variant reported, what’s true?)
Commonly associated with other conditions, such as flu, anxiety, and even cancer, night sweats were, at least until now, less associated with the coronavirus. Now with the propagating of Omicron, many patients have reported this strange new symptom, but what is true about all of this? What we do know is that the scientific community has not exposed itself to this, and is investigating what the actual symptoms of the South African variant are.
Episodes of night sweats are reported in various newspapers (attention, not scientific sources) and on social networks; especially on Twitter, several tweets have spread where we talk about this new symptom.
I love how now the new Omicron symptom is night sweats. What can cause night sweats, let’s count the ways:
The Flu
Menopause
Anxiety
Panic Disorder
A fever from any number of diseases
A heart attack

Episodes of night sweats have been described as very extreme to soak clothes and sheets and, acurrently, this is one of the few distinct symptoms that seem to separate Omicron from the other variants; for example, in fact, unlike Delta and the original strain that hit for the first time, Omicron does not appear to be associated with a loss of smell and taste and it would seem to stop at the throat without reaching the lungs.
The Dr. John Torres, NBC News Senior Medical Correspondent, he stated in the program Today that:
“Night sweats are a ‘very strange symptom’.
Furthermore, the Dr Amir Khan of the UK National Health Service he has declared:
“Watch out for night sweats as a sign to undergo a molecular swab.”
So, although it is now the dominant variant, there are still many unknowns about Omicron. Even less is known about its long-term effects, and early research on the South African variant suggests it can lead to less severe illness. However, theWHO World Health Organization he said it was still too early to say whether Omicron could cause less severe disease or not, as there is currently insufficient data to analyze how the virus particularly affects those most at risk.
