PAINS YOU SHOULD NOT ENDURE

Here is a list of potent pains you ignore at your own risk:

SEVERE HEADACHE

If you were to say ?that is the worst pain of my life?, it could be related to a brain aneurysm rupture which can be quickly fatal according to doctors.

 

A brain aneurysm is a swelling of an artery due to weakness in its wall. Anyone at any age can have them but they are most common in adults between ages 30 and 60. If an aneurysm should burst and bleed into your brain, it may cause hemorrhagic stroke, permanent nerve damage and death.

In addition to the headache, other symptoms of may include nausea, vomiting, drooping eyelid, light sensitivity, and a change in mental awareness. If you experience the worst headache of your life especially combined with any of the other symptoms, you should go immediately to a doctor.

 

CHEST PAIN

If you ever have the feeling of having an elephant in your chest-intense chest pressure, pain or squeezing sensation- you could be having a heart attack which can also be quickly fatal.

 

Doctors describe the feeling as ?uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain? in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back. Other parts of your body may be affected as well including pain in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach. You may also feel short of breath, lightheaded, nauseous or break out in cold sweat.

 

Do not delay for an instant if you think you are having a heart attack.

 

OTHER CHEST PAINS

 Sharp, stabbing chest pain of sudden onset with or without shortness of breath could be a pneumothorax (a collection of air or gas in the space surrounding the lungs) or blood clot in the lung.

The latter condition is called a pulmonary embolism, a sudden blockage in a lung artery, usually from a blot clot that traveled from the lung to the leg. 10% of those who experience this die from it. Fatalities usually occur within an hour after the symptoms begin, so time is of the essence. Pulmonary embolism is often found in people who live sedentary lives. With this finding why don?t you get up and walk around for a while.
