Your body often sends you subtle messages about possible health problems. Recognising these messages can help you avoid or treat underlying conditions. Here are 10 signs that you might not expect to see:
Restless leg syndrome can make you feel like your legs are moving, which makes you want to move them all the time. This strange feeling could be a sign of a deeper problem.
Skin that gets thicker can be a sign of hormonal problems, acne, or an allergic reaction. To find out what’s wrong, you need to see a doctor.
Parkinson’s disease may be present if your handwriting changes, you lose your sense of smell, or you move or speak more slowly. Early discovery is very important for good management.
Depression doesn’t always show up as sadness, so aggressive behaviour can be a surprise sign of it.
Hypersomnia, or sleeping too much, can be caused by autoimmune diseases or other underlying problems.
People younger than 45 may have high cholesterol if they have a white or grey ring around their eye.
It’s possible to have iron deficiency, anaemia, dehydration, or premenstrual symptoms if you only want salty foods.
Low libido and feeling tired all the time may be signs of problems with your thyroid hormones.
Too much thirst may be caused by eating salty foods, having diabetes, or being pregnant.
Chewing ice over and over again could be a sign of iron shortage or anaemia, which calls for blood tests.
Paying attention to these strange signs can give you the power to take charge of your health and well-being.
