As I grow older, I beginning to experience more and more new pain, discomfort and irritation. All these health symptoms could be indications of some kind of sickness or disease hidden somewhere in your body.
As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. Never mistook a splitting headache, it could be the first sign of a brain cancer. We should always consult a doctor at the first hint of these symptoms. From what I read, here are six health symptoms we should never ignore:
1. Severe Back Pain
It could be a tear in the inner wall of the large blood vessel aorta. When blood rushes through the tear, into the middle layer of the aorta, it causes the inner and middle layers to separate or dissect. As a result, you could feel back pain which runs down the back. Or it could be osteoarthritis or pneumonia too.
2. Weakness, Numbness & Slurring
It could be an impending stroke. The signs are sudden weakness or numbness in half the face or on one side of the body, slurred speech, double vision or combination of all of them.
3. Chest Pain
It could be blocked coronary arteries or a heart disease and a possible heart attack. I know this sign because I already had a coronary bypass surgery. When you feel a squeezing or tightness pain in the middle or lefty side of your chest and radiates to your left side of the neck, arm or jaw. This is telling you that you have a blocked coronary arteries. As for a possible heart attack, you feel the way as just mentioned, plus shortness of breath, cold clammy perspiration and dizziness.
4. Spit With Blood
Coughing out blood is because there is bleeding in your respiratory tract. It can come from your pharynx, larynx or lungs. Chances you could be suffering from tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, bronchitis or tumors. Other than respiratory problems, it could be bleeding disorders, heart failure, leaking aortic aneurysm and pulmonary hypertension.
5. Stool or Vomit With Blood
It could be bleeding from the oesophagus, stomach or the early part of the small intestine.
6. Wheezing
When you hear a wheezing sound when exhaling, you could be suffering from asthmatics. Other symptoms are coughing, shortness of breath, fast breathing, fatigue and chest tightness.
So always look out for these signs or health symptoms. They could save your life. [source: healthtoday.net]
