Be careful of these 9 kinds of sudden pain that may kill you

Introduction: Have you ever experienced sudden pain? A piercing headache or a vague chest pain? What exactly is wrong with your body? Our bodies often experience some pain symptoms. Don't ignore these pains, as they may be symptoms of physical illness.

1. Pain in the big toe joint at night

Fear Factor: Gout

The cause may be: pain in the big toe at night may also be caused by rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis, but most of the time it may be a gout attack, especially eating beer, seafood, soy products and other purine-containing foods as inducing factors. Most patients have no obvious signs before an attack, or only experience fatigue, general malaise, and joint pain. A typical attack often begins with awakening the patient in the middle of the night due to joint pain. The pain progressively intensifies, reaching a peak in about 12 hours, and feels like tearing, cutting, or biting, which is unbearable. The affected joints and surrounding tissues are red, swollen, hot, painful, and have limited function.

Gout is a crystal-related arthritis caused by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU), which is directly related to hyperuricemia caused by purine metabolism disorders and/or decreased uric acid excretion. It specifically refers to acute characteristic arthritis and chronic tophi disease, mainly including acute onset arthritis, tophi formation, tophi-induced chronic arthritis, urate nephropathy and uric acid urinary stones. In severe cases, joint disability and renal insufficiency may occur.

Be sure to go to the hospital to see a doctor, do uric acid and other tests, and follow the doctor's instructions for prevention and treatment.

2. Back pain after sitting for a long time

Factors of concern: Lumbar disc herniation

The causes may be: cold waist, excessive sexual activity, frequent driving and sitting for long periods of time are all the culprits that cause waist pain. Inflammations such as salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease are also prone to complications such as low back pain. In addition, retroverted uterus is also the cause of low back pain in many women.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: If you find that your legs have numbness, heaviness, fatigue and other sensations when you stand up from a chair, and even the flexion and extension of your waist are affected, you should seek medical attention in time.

3. Abnormally heavy menstruation or particularly large blood clots

Fear Factor: Uterine Cancer

The cause may be: If your menstrual period lasts longer than 7 days and you use 30 sanitary napkins, you may have excessive menstrual flow. In fact, factors such as catching cold and irregular lifestyle can cause the hormones that control the menstrual cycle to become disrupted, often leading to problems with excessive menstruation.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: If excessive menstruation is accompanied by dysmenorrhea and severe fluctuations in the menstrual cycle, a gynecological examination should be done in time.

4. Severe headache

Fear Factor: Brain Tumor

The causes may be: Many reasons can cause headaches, such as irregular life, excessive smoking and drinking, and lack of sleep; some strong people in the workplace often forget to eat and sleep, and excessive fatigue can also cause headaches; lesions in the eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, teeth, etc. can spread or reflect to the head and cause headaches.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: If the headache has affected your work and life, and does not get better after rest, and the headache has lasted for more than a week, it is recommended that you see a doctor.

5. Joint pain

Fear factor: Rheumatism

The causes may be: bone hyperplasia and bone spurs in the joints, which can cause joint pain. In addition, people who love sports have relatively large amounts of activity in their joints, which can cause strain on soft tissues such as muscles around the joints, which can also cause pain.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: Rheumatoid arthritis often has migratory pain (joint pain here, joint pain there), and rheumatoid arthritis often affects the interphalangeal joints. The clinical manifestations are morning stiffness and inflexible fingers. If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.

6. Often feel thirsty and go to the toilet frequently

Fear Factor: Diabetes

The cause may be: It may be due to the weather. If the weather is very cold, the secretion of diuretic hormone in the body will increase, which is why you always want to go to the toilet in winter; in addition, drinking too many sweet drinks will also cause thirst and frequent visits to the toilet.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: The typical symptoms of diabetes can be summarized as "three mores and one less", namely, drinking more, eating more, urinating more and weight loss. If several symptoms occur at the same time, you should seek medical attention in time.

7. There are lumps in the breast, which sometimes hurt.

Fear Factor: Breast Cancer

The cause may be: common benign fibrocysts or fibroadenomas in women feel like lumps to the touch. Fibrocysts can also cause pain, and the pain they cause is mostly located on the outside of the breast near the armpit.

The cause of these benign lumps is unclear, but it is generally speculated that they are caused by hormonal imbalance or excessive stimulation. Some women's breasts become very sensitive before menstruation. In addition to the feeling of fullness and heaviness, they may even feel stinging when touched lightly. But once the menstruation ends, the pain disappears.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: If there is no pain or itching, the lump on the breast feels hard and rough, and it feels fixed when touched, or the skin on the breast appears to be sunken or has orange peel-like changes, you should seek medical attention immediately.

8. Dull chest pain or sudden palpitations

Fear factor: Heart disease

Causes may be: Chest pain may also be caused by digestive tract problems. If gastric juice or duodenal secretions reflux into the esophagus, it can also cause chest pain, accompanied by heartburn, heartburn and other discomforts. In addition, if there is a problem with the spine, chest pain may also occur.

Don't think that only lumbar discs can herniate. The thoracic spine can also herniate. When the thoracic disc herniates and then compresses the chest nerves, angina pectoris may also occur. In addition, diseases such as soft tissue inflammation of the chest wall, chest wall injury, intercostal neuritis, and herpes zoster can also cause chest pain.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: If the chest pain radiates to the shoulder and inner upper arm, it is very similar to angina pectoris. If the pain does not improve after more than 2 hours and there is chest tightness and shortness of breath, please go to the hospital for examination immediately.

9. Needle-like pain in the right abdomen

Fear Factor: Appendicitis

The cause may be: In the female body, in addition to the appendix, there are also the right ovary, fallopian tube, and right ureter in the right lower abdomen. Therefore, if you have abdominal pain on the right side, in addition to appendicitis, you should also consider whether there are other problems.

If this pain occurs in young women and occurs around the 14th day after menstruation, the possibility of premenstrual corpus luteum rupture should be considered, which manifests as right lower abdominal pain, which is very similar to acute appendicitis. However, this type of abdominal pain occurs more suddenly than acute appendicitis. It will be severe at the beginning and then turn into persistent pain.

Be sure to go to the hospital for medical treatment: Generally speaking, many symptoms of appendicitis are metastatic right lower abdominal pain, which means that at the beginning it may be pain in other parts of the abdomen, and then transfer to the right lower abdomen. If the pain does not occur during menstruation and is unbearable, seek medical attention promptly.
