10 Symptoms When You Need A Doctor – Part 1
Category: Health, Lifestyle
Some of us are hypochondriacs and seek a doctor for every cold, every headache, and every imaginable symptom, which others avoid checkups and refuse to see a doctor until nearly on their deathbed. For those less prone to seek medical advice, please read these ten symptoms and learn when to abandon your doctor-avoidance regimen:
1. Feeling full after eating very little
Feeling full sooner than normal after eating and having persistent nausea and vomiting that last more than a week are warning signs that should be checked by your doctor. There are many possible causes, including pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer and ovarian cancer.
2. Unexplained weight loss
If you find you’re losing excessive weight without intending to do so, see your doctor. Unintentional excessive weight loss is considered to be a loss of more than:
- 5 percent of your weight within one month
- 10 percent of your weight within six to 12 months
An unexplained drop in weight could be caused by a number of conditions, such as an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), depression, liver disease, cancer or other noncancerous disorders, or disorders that interfere with how well your body absorbs nutrients (malabsorption disorders).
