7 Pains You Shouldn’t Ignore
7 Pains You Shouldn’t Ignore and should consult medical attention.
No. 1: Worst Headache of Your Life
Get medical attention immediately. “If you have a cold, it could be a sinus headache,” says Sandra Fryhofer, MD, MACP, spokeswoman for the American College of Physicians. “But you could have a brain hemorrhage or brain tumor. With any pain, unless you’re sure of what caused it, get it checked out.”
Sharon Brangman, MD, FACP, spokeswoman for the American Geriatrics Society, tells WebMD that when someone says they have the worst headache of their life, “what we learned in medical training was that was a classic sign of a brain aneurysm. Go immediately to the ER.”
No. 2: Pain or Discomfort in the Chest, Throat, Jaw, Shoulder, Arm, or Abdomen
Chest pain could be pneumoniaor a heart attack. But be aware that heart conditions typically appear as discomfort, not pain. “Don’t wait for pain,” says cardiologist Jerome Cohen, MD. “Heart patients talk about pressure. They’ll clench their fist and put it over their chest or say it’s like an elephant sitting on their chest.”
The discomfort associated with heart disease could also be in the upper chest, throat, jaw, left shoulder or arm, or abdomen and might be accompanied by nausea. “I’m not too much worried about the 18-year-old, but if a person has unexplained, persistent discomfort and knows they’re high risk, they shouldn’t wait,” says Cohen. “Too often people delay because they misinterpret it as [heartburn] or GI distress. Call 911 or get to an emergency room or physician’s office. If it turns out to be something else, that’s great.”
He tells WebMD that intermittent discomfort should be taken seriously as well. “There might be a pattern, such as discomfort related to excitement, emotional upset, or exertion. For example, if you experience it when you’re gardening, but it goes away when you sit down, that’s angina. It’s usually worse in cold or hot weather.”
“A woman’s discomfort signs can be more subtle,” says Cohen, who is director of preventive cardiology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. “Heart disease can masquerade as GI symptoms, such as bloating, GI distress, or discomfort in the abdomen. It’s also associated with feeling tired. Risk for heart disease increases dramatically after menopause. It kills more women than men even though men are at higher risk at any age. Women and their physicians need to be on their toes.”
No. 3: Pain in Lower Back or Between Shoulder Blades
“Most often it’s arthritis,” says Brangman, who is professor and chief of geriatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y. Other possibilities include a heart attack or abdominal problems. “One danger is aortic dissection, which can appear as either a nagging or sudden pain. People who are at risk have conditions that can change the integrity of the vessel wall. These would include high blood pressure, a history of circulation problems, smoking, and diabetes.”
No. 4: Severe Abdominal Pain
Still have your appendix? Don’t flirt with the possibility of a rupture. Gallbladder and pancreas problems, stomach ulcers, and intestinal blockages are some other possible causes of abdominal pain that need attention.
No 5: Calf Pain
One of the lesser known dangers is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that can occur in the leg’s deep veins. It affects 2 million Americans a year, and it can be life-threatening. “The danger is that a piece of the clot could break loose and cause pulmonary embolism [a clot in the lungs], which could be fatal,” says Fryhofer. Cancer, obesity, immobility due to prolonged bed rest or long-distance travel, pregnancy, and advanced age are among the risk factors.
“Sometimes there’s just swelling without pain,” says Brangman. “If you have swelling and pain in your calf muscles, see a doctor immediately.”
No. 6: Burning Feet or Legs
Nearly one-third of the 20 million Americans who have diabetes are undiagnosed, according to the American Diabetes Association. “In some people who don’t know they have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy could be one of the first signs,” says Brangman. “It’s a burning or pins-and-needles sensation in the feet or legs that can indicate nerve damage.”
No 7: Vague, Combined, or Medically Unexplained Pains
“Various painful, physical symptoms are common in depression,” says psychiatrist Thomas Wise, MD. “Patients will have vague complaints of headaches, abdominal pain, or limb pain, sometimes in combination.”
Because the pain might be chronic and not terribly debilitating, depressed people, their families, and health care professionals might dismiss the symptoms. “Furthermore, the more depressed you are, the more difficulty you have describing your feelings,” says Wise, who is the psychiatry department chairman at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, Va. “All of this can lead the clinician astray.”
Other symptoms must be present before a diagnosis of depression can be made. “Get help when you’ve lost interest in activities, you’re unable to work or think effectively, and you can’t get along with people,” he says. “And don’t suffer silently when you’re hurting.”
He adds there’s more to depression than deterioration of the quality of life. “It has to be treated aggressively before it causes structural changes in the brain.”

Your Eyes as You Age
The eyes are the "window to the soul." This has been said countless times by numerous people and it definitely holds some truth. Women have it rough however. As women age, their eyes become a sign of that aging. Women develop fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. This can occur from a full life of laughing and sleepless nights with children. While it is an indicator of age, it is also an indicator of a life filled with stories and memories. That does not mean that women should display these signs proudly if they choose not to. There are ways to reduce these signs of aging from around the eyes with proper eye cream and care.
Opting out of Surgery
Many women are choosing to undergo surgery in order to reduce and remove the fine lines and wrinkles that naturally occur around the eyes. Others are opting for injections such as Botox. Both of these are pricy solutions that can be avoided if a woman is prepared to make eye care part of her daily routine. It takes mere minutes to apply an eye cream that can effectively hide these signs of aging from around the eyes.
The Daily Routine for Eye Care
Every woman has a daily routine. It ranges drastically from woman to woman, but generally involves applying something to her face. There are creams available that will cover those fine lines and wrinkles as well as covering sagging, puffiness, and dark circles under the eyes. Many manufacturers claim that their product will perform these eye care essentials; however few actually do so satisfactorily. It is important to find a reputable manufacturer and retailer to ensure that a product is going to do what it claims to do.
The right cream is going to offer certain guarantees. It should guarantee the product to work for at least eight hours. This gives every woman enough time to put her best face forward. The eye cream should be applied under regular cosmetics. It should effectively cover up the signs of aging that the eyes often give away as well as hiding under eye puffiness caused from lack of sleep. It is easy to add this simple step to a regular beauty routine and the results are worth the extra minutes needed to apply eye cream.
Using an Eye Cream Regularly
Those eye creams that offer lasting results, after prolonged use, usually do not work as well as those that offer quick results. These eye care products are also upfront about the time constraints of the product. An under eye cream that works for eight hours may need to be reapplied prior to an evening out. This should not be considered as a sign of an inferior product, but proof that the product works effectively, even if for a limited time.
An under eye cream can be used at any time. It can be used prior to going out for a night on the town, or used the next day to hide the effects of the previous evening. A woman can add this to her beauty routine for any time of the day and for any occasion. It does not need to be applied every single day in order to see results. If a woman is spending the day at home, why should she have to go through the trouble of remembering to put on eye cream? Instead, she can take the time to relax and not worry because she need only apply her eye cream on occasions that she chooses. It is not necessary to apply it every day or more than once a day in order to obtain the best results. Women need to be careful about the products they choose to apply to their face. An eye cream is going to help reduce the natural signs of aging that are noticeable around the eyes. Dark circles, sagging, puffiness, wrinkles, and fine lines can all be fixed by applying the right eye cream!

Natural Ways to Improve Mobility
How many arthritis sufferers does it take to open a bottle of pain reliever? Two - 1 to grab the jar while the other one smashes it. And since 1 out of 3 Americans suffers from arthritis, it shouldn't be hard to find a bottle-opening partner. Now that was a joke, but it wasn't very funny. Arthritis is now thought to be the number one reason for disability in the United States. And, it's not only painful, it can also be extremely frustrating. Even the most mundane of tasks, like walking up steps, buttoning a shirt or opening a bottle of pain reliever becomes a major chore. In the past, many medical practitioners advised us that we'd just have to live with the pain of arthritis and then they prescribed painkillers which turned out to have serious side effects. But more recently, and as a result of a lot of recent research, many physicians are now recommending diet and lifestyle changes to help prevent arthritis and lessen the symptoms. If you are suffering from joint pain or stiffness, it's important for you to exercise. I know it's probably one of the last things on your mind when your joints hurt, but the benefits it brings will far outweigh the temporary discomfort. Now this exercise does not have to be strenuous to do its job. Walking is good for you as well as swimming, stretching, tai chi and yoga - anything that helps you to stay active and loose without stressing you out. Swimming, for example, is an excellent form of exercise because it's non-weight bearing and the buoyancy helps to support your limbs and joints. Another thing you can do to give yourself some natural relief from joint pain is to add whole grains, colorful fruits and vegetables and oily fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel to your diet. In order to put less stress on your hips and knees you'll want to maintain a healthy weight, eliminate sweets and keep your fat intake below 30% of your calories. And, drink lots of pure, clean water - at least eight glasses a day - while eliminating colas and caffeinated drinks. You'll also want to reduce the amount or even eliminate red meat from your diet. Many nutritional studies have recently shown that people who eat red meat every day have double the risk of arthritis as those who eat red meat no more twice a week. And finally, whole food nutritional supplements are also essential to good health. Even the American Medical Association is now recommending supplementation. Because as well as you may eat, it's next to impossible to get everything your body needs daily from your foods. Here's a list of some nutrients arthritis sufferers have found helpful: omega 3 fish oils to help decrease inflammation, vitamin C for building strong healthy collagen, Vitamin D for strong healthy bones and glucosamine hydrochloride for strong cartilage. Arthritis doesn't have to be the end of the world. With a few changes you just mind find it a little easier to deal with on a daily basis.
