Healthcare professionals share common symptoms that patients often overlook, emphasizing the importance of seeking medical attention promptly.
Labor and delivery nurse here. If you think something is off, and you feel weird like your baby isn't moving, you get swollen, you have persistent pain on your right side under your ribcage, a headache that just won't go away, spotting, weird discharge colors, smells, leaking fluid — call or come in! We'd always rather see you and it be nothing than have you delay, and it results in a tragedy. Maybe you just peed yourself or maybe your water broke. Better safe than sorry. \Doctor here.
Here are my main symptoms that are worth a check-up. Weight loss without any cause. It can be from diet, side effects from medications, or preexisting conditions, like thyroid problems. It is worth a checkup if you see some drastic changes in your clothes. Losing your appetite with weight loss can raise some red flags. Another symptom is being tired. A simple blood test can tell us so much about this and hopefully get you back on track to feeling better quickly. \Pediatric nurse here. If an infant is under three months and has a fever, they must be seen immediately. For those older than three months, fevers are not as big a deal but don’t ignore fevers under three months. Also, kids are a lot more affected by dehydration than adults. If your kid is vomiting/diarrhea and can’t drink and is not peeing, they need to go to the ER. \Registered nurse here. If you take an ACE inhibitor for blood pressure (lisinopril, enalapril, basically any -pril) and have noticed random, intense gastrointestinal issues, it might be the meds. Every so often, ACE inhibitors can cause wicked side effects on your gut, resulting in everything from diarrhea to ascites (a that occurs when fluid collects in the spaces in your belly). It’s easy to ignore as 'I ate something bad' but can have long-term effects
