British doctors called indigestion a false symptom of “omicron”. According to them, this problem is almost unrelated to the coronavirus, according to the ZOE COVID Study.
As experts explained, most often people mistake indigestion for COVID-19.
“When we looked at the results of PCR tests, we found that although a significant proportion of people with gastrointestinal symptoms test positive for covid, a proportion of people with these symptoms do not have coronavirus,” experts say.
Doctors noted that problems with the gastrointestinal tract occur with “omicron” no more often than with other variants of covid, and suggested that the reason lies elsewhere.
For example, norovirus is very common at this time of the year – hence its nickname “winter vomiting,” experts say.
To avoid such diseases, doctors recommended washing hands more often and maintaining general hygiene.
