Covid 19 and blood clots

I was symptomatic about 5 weeks ago and had stroke last week ???

DG, The News has lots of speculative articles. I believe this might happen when the virus attacks the inside of the lungs. Check with your doctor rather than thinking the worst. Stroke has several different causes.

Thanks John, I'm due to call GP this week 

Hi Dg

I too had corona symptoms 2-3 weeks before I had a stroke, I don't lead the healthiest of lifestyles but would be good to know if covid-19 was the actual cause. I wasn't tested when I was admitted to hospital. I'm 39 years old
