If you feel irritated and depressed for no reason, you should listen to your ‘body’s signals.’ If you ignore the health signals your body gives you, something serious can happen.[사진=게티이미지뱅크]This is the season when diseases that afflict the respiratory system, such as colds, flu, and COVID-19, are especially prevalent. You may suddenly feel cold, shiver, or suffer from body aches. If there is no improvement even after resting and taking medicine, you should quickly go to the hospital. The American health portal ‘Thehealthy’ introduced ‘6 danger signs that you are sick’.

You have chills and your symptoms become increasingly severe

Chills are a symptom of feeling cold and shaking. Dr. Stephen Lamb (Director of the Men’s Health Center at Langone Medical Center in New York, USA) said, “Feeling cold and shaking are typical symptoms of influenza.” If you have the flu, you may start feeling tired, cold, and shivering. Of course, even if you catch a common cold, you are likely to feel mild fatigue or a sore throat. However, symptoms appear more slowly than the flu. Sudden shaking, chills, and fever are usually signs of influenza or a bacterial infection. It is best to get tested and receive a prescription quickly.

I’m sweating profusely

Sweating on the body (sweating) occurs when a person is infected with a virus or bacteria. You may feel both heat and cold. Sweating usually comes on quickly and can be an early sign of some illness. Sweating can be caused by cancer, heart disease, blood sugar control problems in diabetics, and lung disease. However, this type of sweating is usually chronic. It can also occur with certain medications.

I have an upset stomach.

Nausea, stomach cramps, or diarrhea are early signs that something is wrong with your stomach. If you have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the lining of your gastrointestinal tract due to bacteria or viruses, you may experience nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. In most cases, recovery is relatively easy. Dehydration is common, so drink plenty of water.

I have a fever

If you sneeze, have a headache, or feel low energy in the fall, it is a clear red flag for your health. When you catch a cold or flu, you feel sick and usually have a mild fever. If you have allergic rhinitis or hay fever, your nose may become stuffy and you may sneeze repeatedly. If these symptoms appear in the spring and fall and your body temperature does not drop, it is likely a seasonal allergy.

I lost my appetite

If you have gastroenteritis, you may feel bloated (abdominal fullness) and have no desire to eat. If you have lost your appetite or do not like the foods you normally eat, you should suspect various infections such as colds or pharyngitis.

I feel irritated and depressed for no reason

You may feel irritated and depressed for no apparent reason. People who often exercise in the morning may not want to get out of bed. If these signs appear along with symptoms such as fever or chills, it is a sign that you are sick. Dr. Lam said, “When I’m sick, I don’t want to go out with close friends, go shopping, or do things I like. Everything feels bothersome and mild depression also occurs. “It is a dangerous sign that something is developing,” he explained.

Dr. Lam pointed out, “If you don’t listen to what your body is telling you, it can lead to health problems.” If the symptoms you feel are sudden, severe, and last for a long time, you should be especially careful. When you are unwell, you need to focus all your energy on your immune system and healing. You should rest leisurely, drink plenty of water, and eat a balanced diet. If you experience sudden changes in your body, it is best to see a doctor and receive treatment.
