Is Your Body Trying To Tell You Something? 4 Symptoms To Never Ignore!

Staying healthy isn't just about going to the gym. Our health is much more holistic than that. Of course, this means we need to keep an eye on our bodies and minds and how they function and get professional medical help when we notice a problem. Indeed, some symptoms could be messages from our bodies that something serious is wrong! The good news is that you can find out about some of the most common of these symptoms and what to do about them below. 

Chest pain 
You may not think that small or irregular pain in the chest could be something as serious as a heart attack. However, not all cardiac events are as dramatic as the ones we see on TV. Indeed some can be experienced as squeezing or pressure in the chest that dissipates after a few minutes. In contrast, other people report the pain being in the arm or even the neck.

Other symptoms related to a heart attack include vomiting, nausea, shortness of breath, and even jaw pain. Of course, because art attacks can be so serious, it is best not to give such symptoms the benefit of the doubt. Instead, if you suspect someone is having a heart attack, call 911 immediately.

Hearing loss

Many people regard hearing loss as a symptom of getting older than unavoidable. However, many people do not realize that loss of hearing can also be linked to other far more severe conditions, including issues of cognition such as dementia. 

To that end, It is crucial to get any hearing loss diagnosed and adequately treated. The good news is there are several treatments available, including having any excess was removed and being fitted for a hearing aid. Indeed even those with a hearing aid will benefit from a HIS appointment if they notice a decline.

A bad headache 

Whether it's because you had too many beers the night before or haven't given yourself a break to go out and get some fresh air, everyone gets a headache from time to time. However, there is a marked difference between the occasional headache and one so severe that it stops you in your tracks full stop. Such a severe headache can be a warning sign of a serious underlying condition that requires immediate treatment.

If a person suffers from a severe headache, watch out for additional symptoms like personality changes and stiffness in the neck. Even localized loss of function, such as a dropping on one or both sides of the mouth, can be a sign of something more serious going on. In cases such as these, immediate medical attention should be sought as they could be signs of conditions such as stroke, cancer, or serious infection. 

Additionally, if you are suffering from bad headaches regularly, it is also essential to seek medical diagnosis and treatment. This is because headache disorders such as migraines can severely impact your quality of life and limit your ability to thrive.
