Do Not Ignore These 23 Minor Health Issues As They Could Be A Signal Of Something Serious (2 of 5)

Metallic taste in the mouth

There is no food that can account for the metallic taste in your mouth. The only way to explain it is either kidney disease or an accumulation of waste in the body. As many as 90 percent of those having a kidney disease are unaware that they have such an ailment because its symptoms are very mild and easily ignored.

Neck pain

Nowadays, neck pain has become so common that nearly everyone over 30 seems to be afflicted with it. Of course, keeping your neck crouched for hours in front of a laptop screen or sleeping with a hard pillow will cause it to ache and make you feel restless. But when the pain is so extreme that you cannot move your head from side to side, you may want to get yourself checked for meningitis. When the membranes which cover your brain and the spinal cord have an infection, your neck tends to become stiff restricting its movement. If left untreated, meningitis can permanently damage the neurons or even lead to death.

Double vision

Double vision happens for people who are too old or for a few seconds after you’ve strained your eyes working too long on the computer. But, if you begin to notice this change and can’t figure out the cause, we advise you get checked for brain aneurysm.

Fatigue

You have to understand the difference between feeling fatigued after working for hours without any break and being breathless when you take stairs just to get to the next floor. If you sleep for a sufficient number of hours and eat well, you have no reason to feel energy-drained all day long. It’s a common sign among diabetics or those with heart disease.

Persistent coughing

Coughing that doesn’t go away in a week becomes irritating not only for you but also for those around you such as family and co-workers. It comes in the way of you getting a good night’s sleep, interferes with your social life, and much more. If it is followed by a feeling of tightened chest and difficulty in breathing, there may be an issue with your lungs.
