When you’re 40 or older, some of the signs your body presents may indicate that you need to see a doctor.

By the age of forty, we must learn to notice the changes that occur in the body and the state of the body, whose solvability task becomes available if we act quickly towards ourselves and our health.

British doctor Philip Kaye spoke about this in an interview with Express Health, and also listed the signs that you need to see a doctor.

What does the expert advise to pay close attention to in adulthood?

Headache
According to the doctor, headache with double vision requires a mandatory visit to the therapist. A brain scan may be required.

mouth problems مشاكل
Stomatitis that doesn’t heal within three weeks, and sore throat that lasts three weeks or more, is a warning sign to see a doctor.

Changes in the functioning of the digestive system
The affected person may feel abdominal pain that appears to accompany the movement of food through the digestive system. If this feeling lasts for three weeks or more, you should immediately make an appointment with a medical facility, especially when, in addition to pain, you notice other changes in bowel function or blood in your stool.

osteoporosis signs
Dr. Philippa points out that people over the age of 40 are also at risk of developing osteoporosis — weak bones due to low bone density. Here are the symptoms that can indicate a problem: there are characteristic sensations of reflux disease (heartburn, chest pain), the stomach begins to protrude forward, there are regular pains in the back and hip joints.

bad heart disease
The main cause of heart disease in people 40 years of age or older is a poor blood supply to the heart muscle due to a buildup of fat (cholesterol) in the blood vessels. One of the signs that the arteries are full with cholesterol and thus an increase in the load on the heart is unusually heavy sweating, which occurs without any connection to the air temperature or physical activity. If excessive sweating occurs at night, you should definitely see a doctor.
