Most aches and pains aren't a sign of
something serious, but certain symptoms
should be checked out. See a doctor if you
feel any of these things:

(1). Weakness in Your Arms and Legs: If you get weak or numb in your arm, leg, or
face, it can be a sign of a stroke, especially if it's on one side of your body. You could also be having a stroke if you can't keep your balance, feel dizzy, or have
trouble walking. Get help quickly if you suddenly can't see
well, get a bad headache, feel confused, or have problems speaking or understanding. "Caught early, it is often reversible," says
internist Jacob Teitelbaum, MD. Get help or See a doctor immediately. If you get
a clot-buster drug within 4.5 hours of your
first symptom, you can lower your risk of
long-term disability from stroke.

(2). Chest Pain: When it comes to chest pain, it's better to be safe than sorry. "Any chest pain, especially accompanied by sweating, pressure, shortness of breath, or nausea, should be evaluated by a medical professional right away," says Shilpi
Agarwal, MD, with One Medical Group in
Washington, DC. Chest pain or pressure can be a sign of heart disease or a heart attack, particularly if you feel it after being active. It may also mean
that you have a blood clot moving into your lung, Teitelbaum says. If your chest feels tight or heavy, and it lasts
more than a few minutes or goes away and
comes back again, get help. Don't try to tough
it out.

(3). Tenderness and Pain in the Back of
Your Lower Leg: This can be a symptom of a blood clot in your
leg. It's called deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. It can happen after you've been sitting for a
long time, like on a long plane ride, or if
you're sick and have been in bed a long time. If it's a blood clot, you may feel the pain
mostly when you stand or walk. You may
also notice swelling. It's normal to feel tenderness after exercise. But if you also see redness and feel heat
where it's swollen or painful, call your
doctor. Teitelbaum says you can also check for
what's called the Homans sign. "If you flex
your toes upward and it hurts, that's also
suggestive of a blood clot," he says. "But don't
rely on that. If it's hot, red, and swollen on
one side, go to the ER (emmergency room)." It's important to catch a blood clot before it can break off and block your blood flow, which can lead to complications.

(4). Blood in Your Urine: Several things can cause you to see blood
when you pee. If you have blood in your urine and you also feel a lot of pain in your side or in your back,
you may have kidney stones. A kidney stone is a small crystal made of minerals and salts
that forms in your kidney and moves through the tube that carries your urine. Your doctor may take X-rays or do an ultrasound to see the stones. An X-ray uses radiation in low doses to make images of structures inside your body. An ultrasound
makes images with sound waves. Many kidney stones eventually pass through your body when you pee. Sometimes your
doctor may need to remove the kidney
stone. If you see blood in your urine and you also
have an increase in feeling that you urgently
need to pee, make frequent trips to the
bathroom, or feel burning when you urinate,
you may have a severe bladder or kidney infection, Teitelbaum says. Don't wait to see your doctor, especially if you have a fever. If you see blood but don't feel any pain, it
may be a sign of kidney or bladder cancer, so visit your doctor.

(5). Wheezing: Breathing problems should be treated right away. If you're wheezing, or hear a whistling sound when you breathe, see your
doctor. "Without urgent evaluation, breathing can
quickly become labored, and it can be
catastrophic if not evaluated and treated
quickly," Agarwal says. It may be from asthma, a lung disease, a severe allergy, or exposure to chemicals. Your doctor can figure out what's causing it
and how to treat it. If you have asthma, an allergist will create a plan to manage it and
reduce flare-ups. Wheezing can also be caused by pneumonia or bronchitis. Are you coughing up yellow or green mucus? Do you also have a fever or
shortness of breath? If so, you may have bronchitis that's turning into pneumonia. "Time to see your doctor," Teitelbaum says.

(6). Suicidal Thoughts: If you feel hopeless or trapped, or think you
have no reason to live, get help. Talking to a
professional can help you make it through a
crisis. Go to a hospital emergency room or a walk-
in clinic at a psychiatric hospital. A doctor or mental health professional will talk to you, keep you safe, and help you get through this
tough time.. It's confidential, so you can feel safe
about sharing your thoughts.
