There are a number of signs that indicate that a person may have serious health problems. About them in a conversation with the agency “Prime” told general practitioner, nutritionist “SM-Clinic” Elena Tikhomirova.
According to her, a sudden change in weight can speak of the disease.
So, rapid weight loss can be a signal of tuberculosis, oncology or thyrotoxicosis, so this condition requires urgent specialist advice. An examination is also recommended if a person has loss of appetite and nausea. These signs, as the doctor emphasized, speak of systemic intoxication.
Rapid weight gain, in turn, can speak of all the diseases that are associated with excess nutrition, which is also a health hazard.
Tikhomirova drew attention to the fact that overweight and constant thirst can be signs of diabetes. Rapid weight gain along with numbness in the legs in smokers can indicate chronic narrowing of the arteries, and together with changes in behavior or loss of consciousness, indicate multiple sclerosis or brain cancer.
