What Is Havana Syndrome: Symptoms And Cause, All You Need To Know

A joint media investigation implicated a Russian military intelligence unit in the mysterious health condition known as Havana syndrome, which affected US diplomats and spies.

Havana syndrome, also known as anomalous health incidents, is a medical condition reported by US and Canadian government officials and military personnel in overseas locations.

The first Havana Syndrome case was reported in 2016 in Havana, Cuba.

The condition expanded in 2017 to affect more individuals, including US intelligence and military personnel, in locations such as Washington, D.C.

The symptoms of Havana syndrome range from pain and ringing in the ears to cognitive dysfunction.

Symptoms of syndrome also include dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, anxiety, cognitive difficulties, and varying degrees of memory loss.

Some patients experienced a sensation of pressure in their heads, leading to concerns about the nature and cause of the syndrome.

Some individuals with this syndrome have had to leave active service due to complications from the condition, such as cognitive impairments and memory loss.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can arise from Havana syndrome in certain cases.
