30 Seemingly Innocent Symptoms That Always Require Immediate Medical Attention

29. You have mood swings

Just like the vast majority of symptoms listed here, mood swings can be several root causes. From thyroid, medications, and some mental health conditions to diet, poor sleeping habits, and even stroke, mood changes deserve a call.

A healthy diet, meditation, enough sleep, and stress management could make your mood shifts vanish.

30. You’re wheezing

That high-pitched whistling sound you hear when you breathe could indicate a wide range of health concerns. In most cases, wheezing means asthma, but it can also be a pretty common sign of an allergic reaction to certain medication or an insect bite.

However, many severe underlying health conditions can be behind your wheezing, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, pneumonia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, heart failure, and even lung cancer.

Yeah, a seemingly innocent symptom like wheezing could translate to cancer; that’s why you should never assume that everything is perfectly fine (unless you’re a doctor and you know what you’re saying).
