Unexplained Symptoms

I’ve been in the hospital all day. They ran tests, took blood and urine every 12 hours, and talked to specialists. At the end of the day they knew something was wrong, but didn’t know what it was.

This is the hardest type of situation for a patient to handle. You know you are not faking it. You go home and suffer, reluctant to return to the clinic next time there is something wrong. Some of the most dangerous problems, mild strokes, heart problems, etc. have vague problems with unassuming symptoms.

There are ways to make sure that you help the doctors solve your problem. The better you can explain your problem, the easier it is for them to diagnose.

Understand Your Symptoms

The first step is to make sure that you are not suffering from two problems. I once had a heart problem and accidental poisoning at the same time. There are several places on the net that will help you understand your symptoms. If you are in Canada, call the health hotline: 1-866-797-0000.

Understanding and focusing on symptoms will help you understand what is important, and what is not. This will help you focus on the things to tell your doctor. A look at the symptoms will also let you know if the problem is serious enough to contact the doctors, or if you can treat it yourself.

Be Honest

No one wants to admit they are having panic attacks, or are depressed. Most of us fear being slow of thinking or may be afraid of being told our problem is ‘trivial.’ However, a set of symptoms may point to one thing – but when adding panic attacks the problem can become life threatening.
