Six Medical Symptoms
that you should not ignore
 By
Dr. Narinder Saini M.D.
1. Slurred speech, paralysis, weakness, tingling,
burning pains, numbness, and confusion are signs
of a stroke, and you should get to an appropriate
emergency center immediately. Early treatment may
prevent permanent damage to the brain or even save
your life.
2. Black, tarry stools may indicate a hemorrhage
from an ulcer of the stomach or the intestine. It
is important to stop the bleeding and to rule out
cancer as a cause.
3. A headache accompanied by a stiff neck
and fever is an indicator of a serious infection
called meningitis.
4. A sudden, agonizing headache, more severe
than any you have felt before, could mean you are
bleeding in the brain. Go to an emergency room immediately.
5. For women: Vaginal bleeding after menopause
is a warning sign of possible cancer.
6. For men: A lump in your testicle with or without
a small lump in the groin could be serious.
Testicular cancer is more commonly found in testicles
that did not naturally descend from the abdomen
to the scrotum.
