10 Body Signs That Can’t Be Ignored
Your body has a way of speaking to you and it’s important to listen carefully to what it tries to tell you. The ways to do that would be to pay attention to signs that it gives you, such as changes in the color of your body parts or sensations and desires that you find uncommon.
Clamotion advises you to listen to the signals of your own body no matter how strange they may seem.
10. Pink feet
The manufacturers of foot lotions often promise that you will have “baby feet.” But if you noticed that your feet are really pink and the skin looks thin and wrinkled, you should get a blood test done to check your blood sugar levels. This symptom may indicate a metabolic problem, including diabetes.
The doctor you should see: endocrinologist.
9. Hugging sensation
Hugging is not always nice. If you sometimes feel as if someone is hugging you really tightly or tying you up around the waist, the body, or the legs, you should have a few tests done to exclude the risk of having multiple sclerosis. You might also have unpleasant sensations in your arms and legs — you might feel as if you are wearing gloves or heavy shoes. The feeling may vary from irritating to very painful, but anyway, you should pay attention to it.
The doctor you should see: neurologist.
8. Thinning eyebrows
If you notice that your eyebrows are becoming thinner, you should see a doctor and have your thyroid checked out. This may be one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
The doctor you should see: endocrinologist.
7. Swollen toes
Even if you have clear skin, no irritation, no itching, but your toes resemble sausages, you should see a doctor. This symptom might signal psoriatic arthritis.
The doctor you should see: dermatologist; rheumatologist.
6. Loss of appetite
Not wanting to eat shouldn’t be considered a gift from the fitness gods. If you’re experiencing a sudden loss of appetite and notice that you’re losing weight, it may be a symptom of some metabolic disorder. If you also have acid reflux, this may be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The doctor you should see: gastroenterologist.
