Warning Signs You Cannot Ignore
Lately you have been burning the candle at both ends and you are feeling more than a little stressed out.
You are not sleeping very well at night, let's face it, you barely sleep at all.
From an engineering perspective, the human body is a marvel.
We can abuse it, ignore it and ask more from it than we give back and it will continue to deliver, for awhile.
Our body's are not without limits to their capabilities.
Knowing the warning signs your body is sending can mean the difference between good or poor health now and in the future.
Of course some of us do know the signs and we choose to ignore them to our peril.
Men are more likely, according to research, than women to do this.
Science tells us that women may be more likely to go to the doctor with unusual symptoms than men.
Often women are being seen for other regular check ups and this may be the key difference.
Regardless of why men and women differ in their willingness to make and keep exam appointments, both need to know the warning signs that your body is in need of help.
Common warning signs •Inability to sleep.
Often this is due to being over stressed and not being able to "turn off" thoughts at night.
•Unusual irritability.
Although this may be due to stress as well it could also be a warning sign.
For women it could relate to changes in hormones and seeking the opinion of your doctor is a good idea.
In men and women, this warning sign may be an indicator of a physiological problem.
•Continuous heartburn.
What you may decide is simply eating too much fast food or spicy food, could actually be a serious acid reflux or gastric problem.
•Hair loss.
In some cases, hair loss may indicate that your body is unable to keep nutrients and the symptom is loss of hair.
Finding out if you are depleted may require a visit to your doctor or a doctor of naturopathy.
•Chest pain.
Most of us know this already but often we deny that anything could be wrong and fail to consider our family histories of heart disease and our own lifestyle choices.
Do not ignore this.
•Tingling sensation or the feeling our limbs have gone to sleep.
While this may be simply because you spent too many hours without getting up from your chair at work, it could be an indicator of poor circulation and you should get it checked out.
•Blurred vision or changes in vision.
As we age, the muscles in our eyes also age.
It is a good idea to have your vision checked to determine if this is a natural side effect of aging or something more.
Any of these common warning signs, if caught early enough, can usually be managed successfully.
By listening to your bodies signals you may save your self serious damage later on.
