Beware of these 7 minor symptoms before serious illness

Hoarseness and Laryngeal Cancer

Many people take hoarseness lightly, thinking that it will be fine if they give their throat a rest. Teacher Ouyang is one of them. He has been teaching for more than 20 years and has an inseparable relationship with tobacco and alcohol. Half a month ago, he had difficulty speaking and his voice was hoarse when he was giving a lecture. He thought it was due to overuse of his voice, so he made tea with Plantago ovata. But more than half a month passed, and my throat became worse and worse, even to the point where I couldn't make any sound. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem and went to the hospital to see a specialist. After examination by experts, it was found that something had grown on his vocal cords, which was confirmed to be cancer by the pathologist. Fortunately, it was still in the early stages and was cured after surgical removal.

Loss of smell and stroke

Mr. Zhao has suffered from hypertension for many years and has been taking antihypertensive drugs, and his blood pressure is well controlled. I received a call from my son that day, saying that my grandson had tuberculosis. Mr. Zhao couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. Then he felt that something was wrong with his nose and he couldn't smell the fragrance of the tea when he drank it. His wife, a retired nurse, felt something was not right and urged him to go to the hospital immediately. An MRI scan revealed a small hemorrhage in his brain - Mr. Zhao had suffered a stroke!

Significant weight loss and dementia

It is said that "money can't buy slimness in old age", so when Aunt Liu lost weight three years ago, she was not worried at all, but felt fortunate instead. But soon after, some abnormal changes began to appear, such as: forgetfulness. She often forgets things, is nagging, and cannot express herself clearly. When she walks on the street, she cannot call out the names of acquaintances. When she goes to the market to buy vegetables, she has a hard time calculating simple bills, or sometimes cannot calculate them at all... Her family did not dare to slack off and took her to the hospital for examination. The doctor wrote the words "Alzheimer's disease" on the diagnosis.

Hiccups and Myocardial Infarction

Hiccups, commonly known as "burps", are often related to a cold stomach or emotional fluctuations. They can be stopped by drinking some hot water or taking a short rest. But Master Guo, who just turned 50, was an exception. One day while at work, he suddenly had hiccups. After taking measures such as resting and drinking hot water, there was no sign of improvement. He was later sent to the emergency department of the hospital by his co-workers. The electrocardiogram showed inferior wall myocardial infarction, and the doctor rescued him from danger.

Calf cramps and arteriosclerosis

Engineer Zhang, who works for a joint venture, is in his 50s. He is thin but energetic. In recent months, he often felt some pain in his calves and had cramps from time to time, which made him quite uneasy. I heard that this was a sign of calcium deficiency, so I bought some calcium supplements. Unfortunately, there was no effect and the pain and cramps in my calves persisted. He had no choice but to go to the hospital. To his surprise, the doctor diagnosed that it was not a calcium deficiency, but rather "ischemic spasm" caused by arteriosclerosis leading to obstruction of blood supply to the legs.

Anal Itch and Rectal Cancer

Professor Hua, who has been teaching at the university for 30 years, suddenly suffered from anal itching more than three months ago. Because he was busy with teaching and academic research, he could not spare time and had not gone to the hospital for a check-up. By chance he met a high school classmate who is now a surgeon and told him about his own situation. His classmates told him not to be careless and to go to the hospital for a check-up when he had time. In the outpatient clinic, only an extremely simple examination was done - a digital rectal examination, and the diagnosis came out. Professor Hua was suffering from rectal cancer. Fortunately, it was not too late.

Hypotension and Parkinson's disease

When you feel your body is stiff and your arms don't swing when you walk, do you think it is a normal aging phenomenon and even sigh "I am too old"? When your blood pressure remains low for a long time, do you secretly feel lucky that you will not suffer from high blood pressure in this lifetime? If so, you are wrong! Because these symptoms indicate that Parkinson's disease has already targeted you.
