The common cold is the common name for an acute infectious inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. It is almost impossible to distinguish between SARS, influenza and, now, covid on your own. This is the main risk: the influenza virus can penetrate into the heart muscle - the myocardium, and cause inflammation - myocarditis. 15% of all complications after influenza are precisely myocarditis, pericarditis and heart failure. What are you at risk of getting later? Interruptions in heart rate, shortness of breath with little physical exertion, swelling, sweating, etc. Decide for yourself whether you need it. If you find such symptoms after the illness, immediately consult a cardiologist.
