Rare Long Covid symptom identified as man's legs turn purple after standing up
dailyrecord.co.ukA new symptom of Long Covid has been identified by medical experts after a man began to notice his legs changing colour after he stood up.
The 33-year-old, who contracted coronavirus twice in the space of a year and a half, found that his legs were turning from white to purple just 10 minutes after going from sitting to standing.
As well as the rapid colour change, he'd also reported his legs feeling "progressively feel heavy, tingly, itchy, and become dusky in colour" every time he stood up over the past six months.
