The movers from Black Tie Moving just delivered the last of your furniture to your new apartment when you notice a slight headache coming on. You may wonder what’s going on when your body isn’t acting as it normally does.
Here are 4 subtle signs your body is trying to tell you something.
1. Headaches
Headaches are caused by a number of reasons – some more serious and threatening than others. However, you want to make sure you pay attention to the frequency and intensity of your headaches.
If you’re experiencing a headache, your body is undoubtedly trying to tell you something is going on in there. It could be as simple as being dehydrated, which is one of the most common reasons for headaches. In that case, be sure to fill up on your H2O.
However, there are more sinister and serious reasons you may be having a headache. If you experience other bodily changes alongside your headaches, you’ll want to visit your doctor. Or, if the intensity or frequency of your headaches increase, you’ll want to seek medical help as soon as possible.
2. Discolored Nails
Did you know that if your nail beds have a strange color to them like pale or yellow, it could be a sign of disease? While there could be simple explanations for it like a stubbed toe or worn off nail polish – you want to make sure you get to the bottom of why your nails have a different color to them.
Diseases like psoriasis or kidney failure could both cause your nails to be discolored. If you notice any changes to your nail bed, you’ll want to consult with your doctor. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!
3. Brittle Hair
Have you noticed your hair starting to thin out or your shower drain getting clogged more often than it used to? This may be your body trying to tell you something is going on. Like most changes in our body, it could be due to innocent and mild reasons. For example, perhaps you’ve been washing your hair too much or going overboard with your hair dryer.
However, there are some reasons to be concerned if you’ve noticed brittle hair if it isn’t due to washing or drying too much. Brittle hair could indicate some pretty serious issues such as malnutrition, hormone dysfunction, or an underactive thyroid.
As always, you want to make sure to take note of the changes you experience when it comes to brittle hair and visit a medical professional when necessary.
4. Acne
As teenagers, there are many of us who experience acne. Yet, what if it extends into adulthood? If you have consistent breakouts over the age of 25, it may indicate you have something going on with your hormones.
While adult acne isn’t typically a cause for major concern, it is something you want to get checked out by a dermatologist and medical professional. Usually,adult acne is caused by a hormonal imbalance. Breakouts are unfortunate, but issues with your hormones could lead to more serious complications down the line.
