No one wants to be a person who needs to be in constant contact with a doctor. But sometimes it is difficult to understand some symptoms on your own and understand how serious they are. Doctors warn that in some cases it is better to play it safe and seek professional help. Doctors named the signs, when they appear, you should call the hospital, reports MSN.
Spots before the eyes
Spots or "flies" in front of the eyes most often do not indicate anything serious, but sometimes they are a symptom of a major vision problem. As a rule, from time to time they can appear in any person, but their regularity should be alarming. First of all, this may indicate detachment of the retina, its rupture or inflammation in the eye, said ophthalmologist JP Maszczak. "Retinal detachment, if it is not diagnosed and treated in time - within 24-48 hours - can lead to complete loss of vision," the doctor warned.
A high temperature that does not go astray
Constantly high temperature can be caused by any disease, but to rule out a serious problem, it is better to call a doctor. According to Dr. Ayoshi Chima, other accompanying symptoms, including cough, nausea, vomiting, and headache, should be alarming.
Sudden pain or "fog" in the eyes
Unexplained pain in the eyes can be a sign of conjunctivitis, which is an infectious disease and requires medication. It is possible that this is a sign of a complication of the disease. As for sudden vision loss, it can be caused by diabetes, high cholesterol, or be the result of a worsening of any condition. In some cases, "fog" in the eyes indicates the development of multiple sclerosis.
Sudden and severe pain in the shoulder
It can be a sign of a heart attack, as can a feeling of tightness in the chest. The latter may indicate aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, arrhythmia, and even pneumonia.
Weakness on one side of the body
Such a symptom indicates a stroke. In this case, doctors advise to react extremely quickly and not to delay the call to the doctor.
Pain in the leg or foot that worsens at night
This condition indicates a so-called stress fracture. It occurs as a result of fatigue destruction of the bone due to repeated loading. If you continue to walk, the condition will only worsen. Sometimes pain indicates the presence of a blood clot, which prevents blood circulation.
Profuse sweating
Often the condition appears against the background of a high temperature, but if it is normal, then you should call the doctor. The whole point is that this is how the body reacts to a heart attack, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism.
