Do you take your­self for granted? Many peo­ple seem to do that and they don’t pay atten­tion to sub­tle signs or warn­ings their body gives them — mild headaches, body ache, feel­ing dizzy and other such things. If you are one of those peo­ple take this test and find out what those small warn­ings might be lead­ing up to.

Top med­ical experts were asked to sug­gest 5 ques­tions that one could ask them­selves and based on results can deter­mine is he needs urgent check-up or not. If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the fol­low­ing ques­tions, call your doc­tor NOW!

Do you sweat heavily?

Peo­ple who are obese sweat heav­ily. Sweat­ing heav­ily espe­cially at night, indi­cates falling lev­els of testos­terone. And if accom­pa­nied with irri­tabil­ity, depres­sion and loss of morn­ing potency, it is time to pause. Dr. Rajan Bhon­sle, con­sul­tant in sex­ual med­i­cine, explains,

“Testos­terone secre­tion increases dur­ing ado­les­cence and young men sweat pro­fusely. How­ever, dur­ing mid to late 40s, tes­terone lev­els start drop­ping phys­i­o­log­i­cally, once again caus­ing exces­sive sweat­ing. Other causes include male hypog­o­nadism and even the ‘male menopause’ syn­drome.“

Checkup: You should urgently visit a physi­cian or sex­ol­o­gist, instead of blam­ing it to stress. While testos­terone fluc­tu­a­tion may not be the only cause of sweat­ing but get your­self checked.

Can’t drive prop­erly at night?

How many of you blame the road or other vehi­cles if you are feel­ing uncom­fort­able in dri­ving at night? Don’t blame any­one but your­self. You might just be in for an early cataract. Dr. Pree­tam Samant, con­sul­tant oph­thal­mol­o­gist, says, “Even those on the right side of 50 or 40 are risk. In your 40s, if you com­plain of the glare of the vehi­cles oppo­site, you might be hav­ing cataract already. The chances are higher if you have high neg­a­tive power in your spec­ta­cles.” Other symp­toms include see­ing halos around the lights fac­ing you or hav­ing to change your glasses many times which could be due to glaucoma.

Checkup: Cataract surgery is the best option. How­ever, even if your tourine vision hasn’t been affected, make a trip to an ophthalmologist.

Tem­po­rary dou­ble vision?

If yes, then it could be a sign of Tran­sient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) — or a ‘mini stroke’ — where the brain’s blood sup­ply has been inter­rupted briefly. “It could also be a neuro-muscular dis­or­der such as myas­the­nia gravis,” feels Dr Samant. Par­a­lytic squint or eye palsy too could be a pos­si­bil­ity, espe­cially if you suf­fer from high BP or cholesterol.

Checkup: Dou­ble vision could sig­nify fluc­tu­at­ing thy­roid lev­els or may occur if you have sus­tained an injury. Con­sult a neu­ro­sur­geon or get MRI or CT scan done.

Feel­ing Breathless?

“Blame it on your body fat, age, hyper ten­sion or undi­ag­nosed blood pres­sure — your heard needs to pump harder to per­form tasks, in turn mak­ing you feel breath­less” states Dr Shoaib Padaria an inter­ven­tional cardiologist.

Checkup: Even if your BP and ECG are nor­mal, don’t take things lightly. 70% of heart ail­ment vic­tims show nor­mal reports initially.
