4 Health Warning Signs To Never Ignore

There are many small health conditions or irritants that may be worth looking into, but can also be familiar enough to “wait and see.” For example, if you’re encountering the symptoms of the flu, you may be happy (if not super pleased) to wait it out and see an improvement. If symptoms worsen, that’s when you’ll visit the doctor.

Now, in this post we’ll give no medical advice directly. If you’re at all concerned, a visit to your medical practitioner is essential, no matter the condition. It’s also important to take any guidance you read on the internet outside of official channels (including this post), as secondary. 

However, we can responsibly make a few suggestions regarding health conditions you shouldn’t ignore, even if it turns out to be nothing. Without further ado, let’s explore those symptoms:

Unexplained Weight Changes

Our weight can fluctuate for many different reasons. Sometimes, even stress can cause it. That being said, weight change is mostly understandable. If you’ve bene working very had over recent weeks, that could be a cause. But if you notice your weight growing or lessening in a short amount of time without major changes to your lifestyle, it’s important to have that investigated.

Sudden Changes In Vision

​Not everyone has perfect vision and many people use visionary aids to live life comfortably. That being said, a dramatic reduction in your vision, blurry vision, disorientation or a lack of balance can all be signs that you need medical attention immediately. This could point to a neurological issue.

Chronic Fatigue Or Weakness

Life can become so busy and intensive that many people live in a state of persistent tiredness. But if you notice growing chronic fatigue or weakness, despite otherwise being “healthy” or not in your advanced years, this could signify a health condition. This could indicate a mental health issue, a dietary problem, or a physiological issue that needs emergency attention. Make sure to discuss your issues with your doctor and give them a timeline of how long you’ve experienced these problems.

Unusual Bleeding Or Bruising

Unexplained bruises can sometimes occur through the general wear and tear of life - perhaps you bumped your leg against a table a few days ago and forgot all about it. But if bruises seem to occur without any identifiable cause, if you’re having regular bleeding issues such as nosebleeds, bloody stools, throwing up blood or irregular menstrual cycles, it’s worth being checked out by your doctor immediately, or even contacting emergency services. You may gain immediate treatment or could be referred to clinics like vein experts. This way, the source of your bleeding or bruising can be attended to and treated at the source.

With this advice, we hope you can use any of these symptoms as an indication to seek official healthcare. It’s important to remember that this list is far from an exhaustive one, meaning that if you suspect medical care is needed, you should contact your physician as soon as possible.
