4 WARNING SIGNS You Need To Go To Your DOCTOR! | Dr. Steven Gundry
- Choking or other difficulty breathing
- Loss of consciousness or change in mental status
- Heart attack symptoms, such as pain, pressure or tightness in your chest, arms neck or jaw; shortness of breath; and sudden lightheadedness or dizziness
- Injury to the head or spine, or other severe injury
- Stroke symptoms, such as sudden numbness, confusion, speech problems, trouble walking, or vision changes
- Suicidal thoughts
A stomach bug or occasional heartburn are common, but when digestive symptoms persist longer than two weeks, a doctor should evaluate you to ensure you don’t have a more serious condition. Talk to your doctor if you experience these persistent symptoms:
- Frequent or worsening heartburn
- Vomiting blood
- Feeling full before eating very much
- Constipation; diarrhea; or bloody, black or tarry stool
- Difficulty swallowing
The common cold is exactly that—common, and usually not serious. But when respiratory symptoms persist longer than 10 days, it’s time to call your doctor to make sure you don’t have bronchitis, pneumonia or something worse. Watch out for these persistent symptoms, especially if accompanied by a fever, muscle aches or fatigue:
- Cough that lasts a month or longer
- Wheezing or shortness of breath that doesn’t go away with rest
- Excessive mucus
- Coughing up blood
Occasionally forgetting where you put your keys usually isn’t something to worry about. But when memory or other cognitive issues begin to regularly affect your everyday life, you may need to see a doctor. It may be friends or family members who first notice these signs and symptoms of cognitive changes:
- Frequently forgetting things, such as appointments, important dates or belongings
- Difficulty concentrating or losing your train of thought
- Trouble making decisions, making plans, or understanding directions
- Showing poor judgment
- Behavioral or personality changes
