turn anyone into a hypochondriac and I was no exception. But I quickly learned the challenge with self-diagnosis is the sheer number and variety of ailments that share symptoms. As a layman, I can fi gure out what might be causing my aches and pains, but without medical expertise, it’s diffi cult to know what is worth spending a co-pay to see a real expert.
SYMPTOM You feel a strange pain in the upper back accompanied with nausea and you are breaking out in a cold sweat. Is it the fl u?
DON’T IGNORE Could be a heart at- tack. The problem is that up to 37 percent of women and 27 percent of men don’t experi- ence chest pain during a heart attack accord- ing to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Instead, you might feel shortness of breath, pressure or pain in the lower chest or abdomen, jaw pain, pressure or pain in the upper back, lightheadedness or extreme fatigue.
SYMPTOM You have pain in your abdo- men with nausea and possibly vomiting. Is it a stomach bug?
DON’T IGNORE Could be appendici- tis. About seven percent of Americans will suffer from appendicitis in their lifetime and it usually happens between the age of 10 and 30. The key is to fi gure out where that pain stems from. The appendix is on the lower right side, but that doesn’t mean that’s where you will feel the pain initially. Pain often starts in the center of your stomach, above your belly button, and gets worse when you cough, move or take a deep breath. You might also experience symptoms associated with an infection, like fever, vomiting or lack of appetite.
Do you feel pain if you lie on your left side and someone presses on your right knee as your try to lift your right thigh? Try lying on your back and lift your right leg, do you feel pain if someone moves and rotates your low- er leg? If you answer yes to either of these, you should see a doctor.
SYMPTOM After sitting for a long time, your leg hurts when you stand up. It looks red and feels warm to the touch. Is it pins and needles?
