In this day and age, it seems like not as many people are going to the doctor or taking their health seriously. While there are many different approaches to getting yourself checked out, paying attention to the things your body is doing will never cease to be important.
While there isn’t always a need to panic, some pretty tiny things can end up being very serious issues healthwise. When we notice changes in our bodies and how we function, those changes shouldn’t go overlooked. Ignoring something today could mean something devastating in the future, and we want no part in that.
Below I am going to go over some of the more commonly overlooked things that people experience. These are things that most would not think twice about, but that could also turn out to be something very dangerous/serious. You should always keep these things in check so that when you do have to see a doctor you can explain your problems and pinpoint the issue before it progresses further.
12 Changes In Your Body You Should Never Overlook:
1. Fatigue
We all experience fatigue at some point in our lives but if you’re going through it day in and day out you should not be ignoring it. This could be stemming from a number of health issues. It could have something to do with your thyroid or even liver failure.
2. Unexpected Weight Loss
We don’t just drop weight for no reason. If you’ve done nothing to change the way you’re presenting yourself, you should be concerned. You might have diabetes, cancer, or something just as dangerous.
3. Headaches
Headaches when constant and unmoving should be looked into. This could be due to some kind of inflammation within the blood vessels in your brain, a tumor, or perhaps some type of serious injury you’ve managed to overlook. If you’re also feeling nauseated or unable to function due to these headaches, a GP should be seen as soon as possible.
4. Moles/Other Skin ‘Differences’
If you’ve suddenly found a mole or freckle that you otherwise did not have you shouldn’t be waiting around to find out if it is skin cancer. With this kind of thing, time is of the essence. If it seems to be getting bigger or changing at all something has got to be done about it. Sure, moles and so forth can be harmless but not all of them are.
5. Snoring
Yes, snoring can be caused by some kind of serious issue whether you want to accept it or not. If you’re not usually a snorer but suddenly become one you need to think about the fact that it might be related to some kind of health issue. Perhaps it’s due to being a bit overweight, heart disease, or even just some kind of nasal issue, finding out is important.
6. Female Thinning Hair
As a woman when your hair begins to thin out it is most likely for a reason. We, unlike men, don’t usually just ‘go bald.’ You could be suffering from some kind of deficiency or worse, don’t waste any time in getting it checked out as damage in some cases cannot be repaired.
7. Thirst
Being thirsty all the time is a sign that there is something lacking within your body. You are not being hydrated properly and could be suffering from kidney problems. There could be a lot wrong here if you’re being forced to drink more frequently than usual about two liters a day is ideal.
8. Pain After Exercise
If you are facing pain after exercising that does not go away then you’re hurt in some way and need to get things situated. While muscle-soreness is normal, remaining in pain long after your work-out isn’t. Something might seriously need healing.
9. Persistent Bloating
While going in about this can be embarrassing it could be stemming from a life-changing issue. If you’re feeling and appearing bloated it could be coming from a lot of different places. If you’re bloated and facing abdominal pain, discomfort, or loss of appetite you should hurry to the ER.
10. Chest Pain
Chest pain could stem from a wide range of issues but most of them are extremely serious. Whether you’re facing heartburn, a potential heart attack, or something else you need to be in the know. Without your heart, you will not get far at all.
11. Leg Swelling
If your legs are becoming swollen you are already at an increased risk of cervical cancer. That being said, there are tons of factors related to this kind of fluid build up. You could be facing cirrhosis, kidney failure, heart failure, or even pericarditis.
12. Confusion
If you are suddenly becoming confused or lost in your own mind then there could be a reason behind it. While a moment here and there is nothing to be concerned about, if you’re having trouble thinking frequently there could be some kind of infection or other issue present. Our minds are not off limits and can come down with symptoms just like the rest of our bodies can.
