Anti-aging news from Europe and around the World

One of the main problems of the modern society is that its elder members do not pay enough attention to their bodies. As people get older they take such things as frequent attacks of fatigue, headaches, dizziness, etc. for granted. They wait and wait until it is too late to address their health problems without serious medical intervention and even hospitalization.

But it should not be the case. Human bodies have enough capacities to sustain their proper functioning over years if they are treated carefully. In the first place, people need to listen to them, to the signals they send. Symptoms can say a lot about condition of organisms and thus should not be neglected. There are nine simple symptoms that need to be remembered. This will be useful for another category of people as well, i.e. for those who having heard about some symptoms from mass media sources start unreasonably imagining that they have rare diseases.

So, the symptoms to care about include:

1) Stethalgia or chest pain- it should not be disregarded especially if it lasts for more than a half of an hour as this might indicate a heart attack.

2) Difficulty of respiration – it not the same thing you encounter after 3-4 km of jogging, no, this respiratory distress might shows that there is either some blood in the lungs or a derangement of heart function.

3) Blood elements in stool or urine – these might indicate either gastrointestinal disorders or kidney infection; if they are observed together with pain and unexpected exhaustion an examination for cancer is recommended.

4) Severe and unexpected tiredness – there are a number of disorders that have this syndrome, e.g. different types of anemia, depression, etc. It would be better to check it with a doctor.

5) General weakness in limbs – if accompanied by itchiness or lack of sensation it might be a sign of a mini stroke. If this syndrome persists for more than a day there is a risk of a real strike.

6) Cephalalgia or persistent and severe headache- if it happens periodically will need an urgent treatment as there is a danger of going blind. Otherwise it might be a sign of arthritis or aneurism.

7) Yellowish colour of skin or jaundice could be indicative of such unpleasant diseases as hepatitis, presence of gallstones or cancer in the abdominal area.

8) Impotence or erectile dysfunction – it might show shortage of blood and vascular disorders in any part of an organism and should be definitely examined by a doctor.

9) Acute abdominal pain – it may signal about appendicitis if it is felt on the right side of a belly alongside diarrhoea, fever or vomiting. It is quite dangerous as a rupture of appendicitis can lead to a massive infection of an organism.
