While many signs of potential health
problems are well known -- for example, sudden chest pain, a fever,
etc. -- many other equally important signs are more subtle and
frequently go unrecognized by most people, even those who pride
themselves on their medical knowledge, and who try to take good care of
their own health.
For example, would you or your family
know what potentially serious health problems each of the following
might indicate?:
■ dry brittle hair or nails
■ tingling feet
■ losing hair on your toes
■ bleeding gums
■ small yellow bumps on the eyelid
■ eyebrows that no longer extend over
the corners of the eyes
■ a diagonal crease in the earlobe
■ darkened skin patches on the neck
and underarms
■ a horizontal line through the middle
of the fingernails
If you don't, it could be very important for you to find out, because
many of them indicate potentially serious but undetected medical
conditions, and all may indicate some kind of medical problem.
