His Covid-19 symptoms didn't stop at cough, fever and tiredness. On May 9, he had to be put on a ventilator and under a deep sleep. He stayed in the ICU for another two weeks.
Mohanan said he couldn't forget that certain day - while he was heavily sedated - when he suffered a major heart attack.
Nurses and doctors were calling out his name to wake him up. "I wanted to say 'yes I am here'. But I couldn't speak," he said.
It was the toughest time, he thought. Half of him was fighting hard for his life, while the other was deeply worried about his family. Thankfully, his wife and daughter recovered quickly and had to spend only seven days at the hospital.
"Since my wife was also admitted and then quarantined, I was worried about my recovery. But I am extremely grateful to the doctors and nurses at NMC Hospital. I received a very personal care," said a thankful Mohanan.
Recuperating from the virus at his home in Sharjah for a month now, the expat plans to get back to work in a month.
Dr Srinivas Rao, internal medicine specialist at NMC Speciality Hospital, said: "Mohanan's infection was serious, and the monitoring of his vital parameters required a constant watch.
"The interesting part in the case is that there weren't any co-morbid conditions putting him at high risk: No diabetes or hypertension or history of smoking, while the other angle is he remained negative for about 15 days while his symptoms kept mounting all the time. It is generally the other way around."
