Many times, your body goes into immense pain, inflammation, and stress, which you tend to ignore since these tend to go away on their own. However, according to doctors, signs and symptoms of any disease should not be ignored, since they tend to only aggravate with time, and by the time you get a diagnosis, it becomes way too late.

Experts say it takes years for a disease to spread across your body, and in that time whatever symptoms you have are just indications that you need to see a doctor. Symptoms are referred to in three categories:

Symptoms that improve or go away completely

Symptoms previously experienced and resolved, but return again

Symptoms that are long-lasting

The following list of symptoms that indicate the possibility of a dangerous or life-threatening condition includes:

Pain in your chest, along with a feeling of pressure, heaviness, tightness, or squeezing, are classic symptoms of an impending heart attack or a cardiac arrest and require immediate medical attention.

If you feel like you cannot breathe or are not able to get enough air in your lungs, you must seek immediate help from your doctor. Experts say the condition could indicate dyspnea, which includes the possibility of asthma, heart problems, pneumonia, or even a blood clot in your lungs.

Even though headaches are common and can happen due to various reasons like fatigue, any sudden onset or headaches accompanied by other neurological symptoms like seizures or confusion need immediate medical attention.

Severe, sudden headaches could indicate a stroke, aneurysm, or even a head injury, which can be fatal.

If you have been losing weight without even trying, especially a significant decrease in weight in little time, it could be a symptom of something more serious. Experts say any loss of more than five per cent of your body weight without trying is reason for concern.

Many underlying conditions associated with unintended weight loss include type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases, overactive thyroid, cancer, heart issues, and kidney and liver problems. If you have experienced significant unintentional weight loss, make sure to talk to your doctor about it.

If you have a sore or a wound that does not heal within three months or keeps on reappearing, it is high time you get a blood test done to rule out any infection, cancer, or high blood sugar levels that need further investigation.

There can be many reasons for stomachaches, from constipation to chronic conditions. However, if you have had an accident or injury, or the pain is accompanied by pain in the chest, seek medical help.

According to doctors, abdominal pain can also be due to appendicitis, gallbladder inflammation, kidney stones, pancreatitis, or diverticulitis.

While there are many reasons why you may be feeling tired—not getting a good night’s sleep, serious diseases, or chronic infections—if it continues for a long time, it is not a sign of good health. Experts say it is natural to sometimes feel tired, but if your fatigue is ongoing, it could be a symptom of a deadly ailment.

If you are feeling low or worthless, do not feel like talking to anyone, lose interest in daily activities, and feel withdrawn, you must seek therapy from a mental health professional as you may have depression or anxiety.
