Physical Warning Signs No Woman Should Ignore

Dizziness Upon Standing Up

Everyone has experienced dizziness when they stand up a little bit too quickly at least once throughout their life. But if the problem is recurring, it is worth checking out as this may be a sign of a serious medical condition such as orthostatic hypotension, which occurs when the body is having trouble controlling its blood pressure levels. Dizziness upon standing could also be triggered by certain medications, such as antidepressants and high blood pressure medication. Anemia due to an iron deficiency and dehydration can also bring on a dizzy spell. Even if the issue is a mild one and can be solved quite easily, it is crucial for women to get an accurate diagnosis and treat the cause, since dizzy spells can be dangerous if they cause falls and fainting in dangerous locations.

Vision Changes

Vision changes tend to come on slowly, which, unfortunately, makes them easy to overlook, as the eyes always try to adapt as much as they can. If cell phones or computer screens suddenly become harder to read, it might be time to see the eye doctor. Vision loss may also be a symptom of a more serious condition. The sudden and painless loss of vision is a common symptom of a stroke. Women must pay attention to large floaters that occur more than once or twice a week, as this can be a sign of retinal detachment.
