Our body sends us signals every day. Very often we neglect them and make mistakes. In some cases, in fact, we can speak of symptoms which, when they occur, indicate a potentially very serious situation. Let’s see some of them.
Wheezing
If, while making moderate efforts – for example a brisk walk to reach the workplace – you feel a feeling of breathlessness, then it is appropriate to contact the attending physician. In fact, shortness of breath is one of the main symptoms of heart failure, a condition that sees the heart unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs that the body has at that time.
Cough that does not go away and gets worse over time
The cough that does not go away if treated and which indeed tends to worsen over time represents a symptom that should not be overlooked. For what reason? Because it can represent the signal of the onset of lung cancer. This neoplasm, whose main risk factor is smoking, affected, in 2019, over 42,000 people in Italy.
In the early stages, the disease it evolves silently and, very often, is diagnosed too late. The continuous cough that does not go away is a sign that often arises in those who have to deal with this type of tumor. Not to be overlooked is also the onset of hoarseness, as well as the presence of traces of blood in the phlegm.
Weakness, confusion and mood swings
When dealing with the onset of weakness, confusion and mood swings and with the sudden and unexplained manifestation of these symptoms, it is very important to promptly contact your doctor.
Why? Because the signs we have just listed can represent part of the symptomatological picture of the brain tumor. In particular, let’s talk about some of the symptoms of frontal lobe brain tumor. In this case, you may also have to deal with difficulty moving a certain part of the body or speech disorders.
Sensitivity disorders of the face, legs and arms
Even in front of these signals it is appropriate to be alarmed, especially if they do not fade despite the passing of time. When they are named, they are in fact talking about some of the symptoms ofstroke, a condition in which part of the brain does not get adequate blood supply. Also not to be forgotten is the fact that, in these situations, if you try to smile, one corner of your mouth tends to hang down. In addition, it is often difficult to articulate words.
