Life is becoming more convenient, technology is developing rapidly, and various diseases are also increasing. We have worked hard to get where we are today, but just one serious illness can almost completely destroy everything. However, if it's not in the late stage, cancer can be cured. Therefore, if you timely discover the early signs of the disease, there will be a great chance to eradicate it.
Listen to the sounds your body makes; they will tell you some symptoms that you rarely realize.
☆1. Drooling while sleeping is not just cute
Do you feel embarrassed about drooling in your sleep? It's not as simple as being cute or unhygienic. It may be caused by a nervous regulation disorder. The regulation of saliva secretion is entirely reflexive through nerves. The commonly said "quenching thirst by thinking of plums" is an example of conditional reflexive saliva secretion in daily life. In addition, poor oral hygiene can also cause drooling. The temperature and humidity inside the mouth are most suitable for bacterial reproduction. Inflammation and drooling during sleep also remind you to beware of periodontal disease and see a dentist!
☆2. Swollen feet? Don't ignore it
Recently, your feet have been swollen with pain and itching... This seemingly ordinary symptom cannot be overlooked. It is very likely telling you "there is a problem with your veins!" Swollen feet are often due to venous thrombosis. If you see a doctor in time, there won't be any issues. Otherwise, it could lead to leg swelling and even pulmonary embolism, endangering your life. Some small blood vessels in the veins are blocked, causing poor blood return, which leads to swollen feet. So you must not take this lightly. If your feet swell and massage doesn't reduce it but instead worsens the condition, you need to pay high attention.
☆3. The hidden culprit behind vision decline
Your recent busy work has made you want to vomit, and you've been working overtime at the computer all night, leading to a noticeable decline in vision. Be careful! Frequent blurry vision, dry eyes, and difficulty seeing clearly are precursors to liver dysfunction. If you press around the liver and feel bloated, it's highly likely that there's a problem with your liver. At this point, besides seeking medical attention promptly, you should also pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid overstraining your eyes. Improper use of eyes can affect the liver.
☆4. Changes in scars, a bad omen
If some chronic skin conditions on your body, such as keloids from burns or injuries, or chronic dermatitis, suddenly undergo inexplicable changes, you must be highly vigilant. If after treatment, these lesions increase in size, or ulcerate, harden, thicken, deepen in pigmentation, become excessively keratinized, or even bleed, you should be alert to the possibility of skin cancer. Additionally, if there are hard lumps appearing on your skin that don't go away, you must visit a specialized hospital for examination.
☆5. Beware of your drooping eyelids
Just reaching the age of 30, mature and sexy, why are your eyelids getting heavier and suddenly drooping? You should be concerned and not just think of going to a beauty salon. It is an early symptom of many diseases. The precursor to "myasthenia gravis" is the slow occurrence of drooping eyelids. It starts with one eye and then affects the other. It's milder in the morning and worse in the evening, fluctuating significantly within a day. More severely alarming is an intracranial aneurysm. If your drooping eyelid is unilateral and sudden, with dilated pupils, you should immediately seek emergency care in neurology. It sounds quite terrifying.
☆6. Colored rings - a precursor to blindness
When you look at lights and notice colored rings around them, don't find it novel. This isn't a special ability of yours. It indicates that you may have angle-closure glaucoma. Angle-closure glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to blindness. Early symptoms include seeing rainbow-like halos, which is this phenomenon of seeing colored rings. The colored rings appear smaller when seen up close and larger when viewed from afar, purple inside and red outside.
☆7. Hidden dangers of being a foodie
Amy suddenly developed a big appetite in the past month, but her weight decreased as she ate more, and her urine output increased with more drinking water. After checking at the hospital, it was found that the "big appetite" hid diabetes. Lisa also recently felt hungry shortly after eating, but she became noticeably thinner. After examination, the doctor found that Lisa had "hyperthyroidism." Additionally, conditions like Cushing's syndrome and obesity-related reproductive dysfunction can also cause a big appetite and a sharp increase in food intake. Therefore, if your appetite has been unusually good lately, it's better to get a comprehensive check-up at the hospital early.
☆8. Stomachache or heart disease?
You've had stomach problems before, so this time, you mistook the precursor of heart disease for a stomachache! Remember, this is an important warning. Unlike regular stomachaches, stomach pain caused by heart disease rarely involves severe or intense pain. There's usually no tenderness either, just a feeling of oppression and fullness, sometimes accompanied by dull pain, burning sensation, and nausea.
☆9. Quietly changing beauty moles
When our bodies change, there are always various signs, as long as you know how to cherish yourself. When moles undergo malignant transformation into melanoma, there are such warnings:
1) Moles grow rapidly in a short period;
2) The surface of the mole becomes eroded and may ulcerate with an itchy sensation;
3) Around the mole, which was previously flat and normal, new black spots or satellite nodules appear, or nearby lymph nodes swell with black coloration.
☆10. Don't let sweat wet your palms
Sweaty palms don't necessarily mean you're physically fit, especially for young people. Women with warm palms might possibly have chronic pyelonephritis. In the early stages, there's generally persistent or intermittent warmth and sweating in the palms, or accompanied by overall fever.
