Tooth decay, dry eyes, shoulder pain, throat dumb, toothache, and oral ulcers are all common problems, but for older people, attention is also needed because some serious illnesses can easily be confused with these small problems, leading to Misdiagnosis.
Shoulder pain are not all frozen shoulder
Fifty years old, it is easy to have shoulder pain, which is a 50-year-old high incidence of disease: frozen shoulder, because of the characteristics of age, also known as 'Fifty Shoulders' trouble is that lung cancer is also at this age In the high segment, many people who went to the orthopedic department because of shoulder pain were eventually referred to surgery and oncology. Some of them had shoulder pain called 'extrapulmonary symptoms' of lung cancer (eg, cancer of the lung and cancer of the lungs) It is because the age of onset of the two diseases coincide, similar symptoms, so easily misdiagnosed.
It is worth mentioning that the early periarthritis of pain is not severe, and there are fixed tenderness point, short-term pain rarely increased, while lung cancer, severe pain, and there is no specific pain point.In fact, the identification of these two diseases, Only need to take a chest X-ray is not a problem in the lungs, ruled out after treatment for the shoulder is not too late.
Long 'insects' not because of eating more sugar
If you are over forty women, before the teeth well, or even been to the dentistry, but in a very short period of time one after another 'insects', do not think it is sugar to eat more, or no teeth Brush clean, there is no reason or even concentrated attack 'insects' medicine called 'rampant caries' Most of these people suffer from autoimmune diseases Sjogren's syndrome, is a serious lack of saliva in the mouth lead to the disease is generally Appear after the age, and women are too much, in various organs and tissues appear dry at the same time, there are fatigue problems, although with lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis are autoimmune diseases, but the prognosis of Sjogren's syndrome Better, as long as the proper treatment can be well controlled.So if you want to see Chinese medicine, you need to be confirmed by Western medicine.
Not dry eyes are overuse
Ms. Chang, who had been over Pentecost, had a very dry eyes recently and she thought it was because of chasing the drama that she used tea with Chinese wolfberry to relieve it slightly after eye drops, but after a few days she was dry and her eyes were open when it was severe. Also afraid of light, multiple departments in the hospital for treatment, eventually diagnosed as rheumatoid disease in the Department of Rheumatology.My doctor said that more than 50-year-old female is a high incidence of this disease.External studies have shown that such patients, the secondary stem The proportion of eye patients reached 46.7%.
If you are over forty women in the use of eye strength did not change significantly, there dry, photophobia, foreign body sensation, severe pain, recurrent congestion and other eye discomfort, to think of the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome is also the initial symptom of dry eyes and dry mouth, but many people easily think they are 'lit up' or 'dry weather, less water' and delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Not all toothaches are exposed from the tooth nerves
One out of 100 myocardial infarction patients has a toothache.
An office worker who went to work to catch a toothache while trying to catch a bus had always thought that his nerve was exposed. The cold stimulation caused a toothache and later inadvertently went to the hospital for examination to discover that it was a coronary heart disease. In fact, each of his toothaches was in fact an angina The attack.
Angina pectoris and myocardial infarction are two manifestations of coronary heart disease. Angina pectoris is a myocardial infarction that has been miscarried and survived. However, not every angina can be so lucky.
Ordinary toothache, upper abdominal pain and pain caused by angina, the differences are as follows: If the angina is caused, generally have incentives, such as fatigue, cold, meal, after drinking or extremely excited, because these activities will cause an increase in cardiac oxygen consumption, heart rate Acceleration, the original coronary artery has been less blood supply more dereliction of duty, the heart muscle because the blood can not be fully supplied and ischemic pain.
Therefore, even if the toothache, abdominal pain, or in front of these types of myocardial oxygen consumption increased, or no reason for stomach pain, no reason, no indigestion, unclean diet, and you are still a fat person, High blood lipids, high blood pressure, diabetes, any one of the underlying disease, to be highly vigilant, at least make a ECG to exclude, if necessary, to be a myocardial enzyme test.
Not all the oral ulcers get angry
Oral ulcers are common, people generally regarded as 'lit.' In fact, 'lit' self-diagnosis can not easily.
Oral ulcers have good and evil points. The most common benign is recurrent oral ulcers, the incidence of about 20%, mild 3-5 ulcers in general, the diameter of less than 1 cm, healing without scar. The heavy diameter More than 1 cm, leaving a scar after healing. Malignant oral ulcer is mainly oral cancer, the most common is tongue cancer and leukoplakia.
There are some more serious systemic diseases, the earliest manifestation of oral ulcers, such as leukemia, malignant lymphoma, Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, shingles, Behcet's syndrome, and even syphilis, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Therefore, for more than 3 times a year, oral ulcers, and accompanied by general malaise, the best choice to the hospital's oral mucosa, rheumatology clinic treatment excluded.
Throat is not all chronic pharyngitis
Often smoking people are uncomfortable throat is commonplace, smoked more than a decade of smoke Mr. Zhao did not own voice dumb seriously, he thought it was chronic pharyngitis and committed, eat a few days of three yellow film, the first day a little bit Relieved, but after a few days to aggravate, and always cough, no sputum .Then rub a neck in the bath at night, Mr. Zhao touched a hard bulging mass, the next day, he was diagnosed with lung cancer in the hospital .
Mr. Zhao neck mass is caused by lung cancer, lymph nodes, it is the oppression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve led to Mr. Zhao voice hoarseness .Clinical, many patients because of throat and dumb lung cancer, and they even before the diagnosis and Do not cough .As smokers such as Mr. Zhao, once there is no reason to appear throat dumb not because of a cold, no pain in the throat, tonsils are not inflamed, should be highly suspected of occupying diseases of the lungs, because smoking makes them a high incidence of lung cancer .
