As living conditions get better and better, people should be better, but unhealthy lifestyles and eating habits have brought many problems to our physical health. Some chronic or acute diseases have also begun to threaten human health and even take the lives of many people.
At the same time, this phenomenon also shows an aging trend. In fact, when there is a problem with our body and there is a disease, the body may send out various "distress signals". If you can understand these signals, you may be able to save your own life.
Reminder: When our body has these abnormal manifestations, or the body is "alarming", we should pay attention in time
1. Pale toes
If you notice that your toes are pale and bloodless, you also need to be vigilant, as this may be a sign of decreased liver function.
Generally speaking, when the liver is in a healthy state, it can maintain the body's circulation, provide blood to our body in time, and at the same time, the toxins and waste products in the body will also be excreted from the body in time. So when the body is running smoothly, our toes and toenails should remain rosy.
However, many people may experience pale toes due to certain liver diseases that affect their blood supply. If this phenomenon is already present, coupled with the fragility of the toenail and the ability to break easily, it may be a sign of cirrhosis and requires immediate improvement.
2. Chest pain
Chest pain is a very common symptom of heart disease. When our heart doesn't get enough oxygen and nutrients, a feeling of chest pain can occur.
This type of pain is also usually located behind the sternum and sometimes radiates to the shoulders, arms, neck, or jaw. The pain that occurs in the chest may be dull, tender, etc., and sometimes it can be a sharp stabbing pain. If chest pain is often felt, immediate medical attention is recommended.
3. Walk with scissor steps
The scissor step is an unusual gait characterized by inward toes, a bent stride, and even cross-legged legs. This is due to excessive tension in the muscles of the patient's lower limbs, stiffness, etc., resulting in a scissor-like gait.
This gait is more common in patients with sequelae of cerebral infarction. However, scissor step problems often occur in conditions such as cerebrovascular disease, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and spinal cord injury, which can lead to symptoms of motor dysfunction, such as weakened leg strength.
In addition, the scissor step may also indicate that the patient has experienced a problem with stroke, and it is necessary to assess the condition of the blood vessels in a timely manner and actively prevent the occurrence of stroke problems. For the elderly, if there is a change in limb muscle strength or muscle tone, especially a rapid change, scissor steps may occur, and the occurrence of acute cerebrovascular disease is also vigilant.
4. Abnormal fever
Many people with liver disease may have a low-grade fever that does not go away. In general, the body temperature will continue to be around 37.5°C, and some patients may also have a high fever, which may reach 39°C.
In such cases, taking antibiotics and cooling medications is generally ineffective. The cause of this abnormal fever phenomenon is most likely the necrosis of a liver tumor, which causes the release of heat from the body's blood circulation. At the same time, it may also be caused by the "invasion" of the body by the virus due to the decrease of its own resistance.
5. Dizziness and headache
In everyday life, if you always feel noticeable dizziness and unexplained headaches, you should also be alert to vascular diseases. This is because blood vessels are very widely distributed in the human brain, so in order to maintain brain function, it is necessary to ensure the health of blood vessels in brain tissue.
If you have a cerebral infarction, blockage or narrowing of a blood vessel in your brain, it can affect our blood flow back to the brain. When blood cannot be transported to the brain in time to provide local nutrients, then it will lead to dizziness and headaches, which are also the distress signals sent by blood vessels to us. Therefore, when detecting such abnormalities, it is also necessary to be alert to the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases.
In short, in daily life, if you find that your body has the above abnormal manifestations, you should pay attention to it in time and do an examination to prevent the condition from worsening. At the same time, we should also develop a regular lifestyle, good eating habits and moderate exercise in our daily life, which are all tips to maintain our health and longevity.
