Unexpected weight loss

If there is unplanned weight loss, and you lose more than 5% of your total weight in one month or 10% in 6 months, or some sudden change, e.g. if you have been struggling with weight all your life and then you suddenly lose weight, you should see a doctor.

Persistent temperature

Some viruses can cause fever and usually if the temperature is not excessively high (up to 38°C) you are safe for a few days. However, if you have a high temperature (between 37,5 and 38,5) for longer than Sunday, you must contact your doctor. Fever can be a symptom of serious infections even though there are no other accompanying symptoms.

Short breath

If you are a healthy person who normally has no breathing problems, and you experience sudden difficulties or shortness of breath, you should contact your doctor immediately. If you have asthma or know what causes breathing problems, follow your doctor's advice.

Unexplained changes in bowel function

The key word is change. Some people have had intestinal problems for years and should not think that they need to see a doctor urgently because of constipation, even though they have already talked to him about the problem, but if there is a sudden change.

Change in mental state

Disorientation, confusion, hallucinations, or sudden aggressive behavior require immediate medical attention.

Short-term loss of vision, ability to speak, or paralysis of a part of the body

These can be early signs of a stroke, and the sooner you see a doctor, the better off you will be.

Flashes of light

If you experience flashes of light that are not caused by a migraine, contact your doctor. In addition, eye symptoms that require advice are a significant increase in dark spots that float in front of the eyes, a sudden "curtain" or a feeling as if you are looking through a filter.

Feeling full even though you have eaten a little

If you notice changes in your behavior at the table for a while, you overeat, e.g. earlier than usual

Hot, red and sweaty palms

In some situations (stress, nervousness) they are a normal thing in isolation, but if they appear together, see a doctor.
