How often do we take our symptoms for an erroneous disease - have any of you ever asked this question? If not, then it's time to do it.
For example, we feel pain in the neck as if we were bleeding due to an open window or a fan turned on, but pain can occur for a completely different reason.
In this article, we will just consider the most common imaginary diseases, so as not to make mistakes with the conclusions, diagnosing ourselves not what it really is.
10. Delirium tremens - severe poisoning
People who drink alcohol for a long time are credited with delirium tremens. A person behaves unstable, he is mentally unstable and can commit rash impulsive acts.
If you drink alcohol for a long time, then the level of the hormone (ADH) decreases, it is responsible for regulating the excretion of water by the kidneys.
If ADH is at a low level for a long time, then after the cessation of binge, the hormonal level increases. The kidneys retain moisture, and with it all the decay substances of ethanol are retained.
After a long binge, the sober has not saved the situation, and severe poisoning occurs.
9. Produlo - uncomfortable sleeping position
When a person is tormented by pain in the back or neck, he believes that he was blown if he was sitting by the open window or walking in the wind. Nobody excludes this reason, but hypothermia is far from the only pain factor.
Most often, pain occurs due to muscle microtraumas, and they occur when a person is in an uncomfortable position - for example, sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress or often sitting in an uncomfortable position.
In addition, if a person makes a sudden movement, injury can also occur.
6. Rheumatism - a disease of the young
Usually this word is associated with a problem associated with the back, because of which it is impossible to get up, sit down, especially not engage in any physical activity.
But real rheumatism has nothing to do with the back - it is inflammation that affects the lining of the heart. Our immune system thus responds to infection by microorganisms (they belong to the group of streptococci).
Elderly people usually do not have this disease, rheumatism is a disease of young people.
It is important to understand that the same symptoms can be signs of different diseases.
7. Migraine - a hereditary disease
When a person "breaks up" his head, the first thing that comes to his head is that he has a migraine. A person thinks that he "went over" the excess or some external stimuli caused this pain.
In fact, if excruciating pain is repeated constantly - about a couple of times a month, then we are talking about heredity.
Migraine is accompanied by nausea and fear of bright light. Neurological disorders can also occur: numbness of one of the limbs, a change in vision, in this case it is a question of migraine with an aura (paroxysmal primary cepaogia).
6. Sclerosis is a symptom, not a disease.
If a person (mainly elderly people suffer from sclerosis due to cerebral arteriosclerosis) forgets important dates, does not remember the names of what happened 10 minutes ago, people around him think that he has sclerosis.
But in fact, there is no such disease, there are many similar diagnoses, and all of them involve fibrosis (pathological proliferation of connective tissue).
Sclerosis is the final phase of the disorganization of connective tissue. Decreased memory is a symptom, not a disease.
5. Osteochondrosis of the spine - muscles and ligaments
Osteochondrosis is a rare disease. Doctors make this diagnosis for almost everyone who has changes in the intervertebral discs. The main reason, according to doctors, is that people walk straight.
In fact, people over 40 have osteochondrosis, but they don’t know anything about it because they don’t feel pain. But the diagnosis sounds so scary that people are ready to give money for tomography to find out if there is a hernia or not. It is not cheap, and they make a lot of money from it.
But almost always the pain that a person feels in the back speaks of muscles and ligaments.
4. Cellulitis - inflammation of adipose tissue
In the case of an orange peel that occurs on the skin (usually in the buttocks and thighs), a person is prescribed expensive anti-cellulite procedures and creams are prescribed.
However, this is not true - cellulite speaks of panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) that microbes cause. The disease progresses rapidly and causes the destruction of fatty tissues.
In the internal form, fat cells of organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines suffer. Panniculitis is a serious illness, and self-medication is prohibited.
3. Vitamin deficiency - terrible consequences
When people hear this word, they immediately remember the early spring, which caused vitamin deficiency. They call it a mild ailment, which will pass after some time, you just have to take vitamins and include more vegetables and fruits in your diet.
What can really happen? Vitamin deficiency can lead to scurvy (a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C), pellagra (due to prolonged malnutrition), rickets. Due to the lack of vitamins, people in Africa suffer.
2. Vegetovascular dystonia - neurological diseases
Some symptoms, such as a slight tingling in the chest or panic attacks, are called vegetovascular dystonia.
But there is no such diagnosis in the whole world as VVD, if doctors still say the opposite, it only speaks of their incompetence.
A disease hides a real problem - it can be a disease from a neurological field or a mental disorder.
You can take to treat a disease that is not there, and the existing one will progress in the meantime.
1. Depression - a hormone disorder
Depression usually means sadness, apathy, unwillingness to rejoice even at the good.
In fact, depression is basically a physical illness in which the hormone serotonin (a hormone of good mood) is disrupted.
The following products must be included in your menu: low-fat fish, beef liver, cottage cheese containing tryptophan amino acid (mood regulator).
If you often have a cold, a bad mood, then this indicates depression - you need to bring the hormone serotonin back to normal.
