Health Signs You Should Not Ignore.

Every day, our body experiences little aches and niggles, and we tend to ignore many of them in an effort to fulfill daily responsibilities such as work and family. However, the symptoms of many serious diseases start off as minor twinges, and sometimes it is important that we take a step back from our daily routine, analyze how long we have been suffering from an ailment, and decide whether to consult a doctor or not. Many people put off going to see a doctor because they consider it highly inconvenient. Nevertheless, it is always a good idea to get checked out in order to avoid bigger problems in the future. Here is a look at 6 health signs you should not ignore!

#1 – Persistent Coughing

Coughing is a natural process which clears the respiratory tract of foreign particles and normal secretions. Everyone is susceptible to coughs from time to time, especially when exposed to air pollution, pollen, etc. However, if you have been coughing for over two weeks, and you haven’t been influenced by common causes like smoking, it could be a symptom of a greater problem including bronchitis, pneumonia, and in rare cases, lung cancer.

Gut Fermentation Syndrome

This may sound Wonderful on the surface. Eat anything you want, and that food will make you Drunk—very Drunk, if you eat as much carbohydrates as most of us. But extreme Drunkenness precedes extreme hangovers. Add in the Erustration of Everyone thinking you’ve been drinking and are lying about it, and you have the case of a 61-year-old Texas man from earlier this year. For five years, he’d routinely gotten drunk without actually imbibing any alcohol at all. 

His and his wife were both baffled and even bought their own home Breathalyzer test.
In September, he checked into the Emergency room with a blood alcohol level of 0.37, nearly five times the legal level for intoxication. He insisted he was a teetotaler, and the doctors laughed, but they placed him under observation. Twenty-four hours later, having had no alcohol, he was still falling-down drunk.
Then the doctors found out why. His stomach does not digest the sugars in carbohydrates; it ferments them. Excess yeast grows in response to any starchy food and then converts the starch into ethanol before his stomach digests it. Assuming a healthy diet, this would enable a person to stay drunk almost all the time without developing a beer gut from booze’s empty calories. Alcohol’s effect on the liver, however, would very much still be a problem.
For now, “auto-brewery syndrome” syndrome is so rare that the few papers written on the subject have to specifically request that doctors take it Seriously.

Encephalotrigeminal Angiomatosis:

This is also called Sturge-Weber syndrome, and although doctors know precisely what causes it, they are powerless to stop it from happening. A gene mutation hits the sufferer while still in the womb, leading to excess blood vessels just under the skin on the side of the face. The classic symptom for a newborn is a “port wine” birthmark across the forehead and one eye (similar to Mikhail Gorbachev’s famous birthmark, though he does not have this disorder).

The extra blood vessels under the sufferer’s skin surround the trigeminal nerve, which happens to be the primary nerve responsible for headaches. Other symptoms include excess blood vessels in the brain’s inner lining, severe mental retardation, and intense glaucoma in about half of cases. Glaucoma is excessive pressure in the eyes, which eventually leads to blindness by squeezing the eyeball. In cases of Sturge-Weber, the pressure can become so great that it forces the eyeball out of the socket.

The excess blood vessels over the brain kill large tracts of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex. This causes severe convulsions that can make the victim to “jackknife” or bend sharply backward, risking damage to the spine and back muscles. The only treatment to combat these convulsions is surgery to remove the affected brain areas.
