#SmaarthHealth: Medical Symptoms You Must Not Ignore! Once in a while as individuals, we feel sick with constant symptoms. Most times, the cause cannot be far-fetched. We’ve caught a cold or the flu. We over did it under the sun. The usual ache or body pain, an unpalatable throat or a general sense of the blahs is normal and unavoidable. It’s a part of life. But there are times – and signs – when your body is telling you (insisting really) that now is the moment to pay attention, that something is seriously wrong and you need to see a doctor immediately. Below are symptoms that should not be ignored. They are signs you urgently need medical attention without delay. Don’t dismiss them. These symptoms may turn out to be something very serious, but you won’t know that for sure without seeing a physician. They may signal serious disease or even a looming threat to life or eventually lead to death if not tackled on time. Chest pain: Extreme discomfort that feels like squeezing, pressure or tightness. May be accompanied by pain radiating down an arm, nausea, vomiting, sweating or difficulty breathing. What it might mean: A heart attack. Other possibilities include gastrointestinal reflux or GER (sometimes called acid reflux), which happens when stomach contents flow back up into the esophagus. GER isn’t life-threatening, but it can become a chronic condition. Shortness of breath: A sudden feeling that you’re breathing faster than usual, without obvious explanation, and without good effect. Worsens when you lie flat or exert yourself. Wheezing or gasping. What it might mean: A blood clot or embolism has lodged in the lungs or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, both very serious. Other possibilities include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and extreme emotional distress or anxiety. Sudden intense headache: This is head pain unlike anything you’ve felt before, peaking in seconds or minutes. What it might mean: An aneurysm or burst blood vessel in the brain. Immediate medical attention is required. Other possibilities include meningitis or shingles. Unexplained weight loss: Losing more than 5 percent of your body weight without trying in less than six months. What it might mean: Cancer. Many types of cancer are characterized by severe, unwanted weight loss. Other possibilities include endocrine disorders, diabetes and clinical depression. Unusual bleeding: For example, rectal bleeding or black or tarry stools. Or bloody vomit. What it might mean: Ulcers and colon cancer can cause rectal bleeding; stomach, lung and esophageal cancers can trigger bloody vomit. Other possibilities include hemorrhoids. Coughing up blood may be linked to bronchitis, pneumonia or tuberculosis. Blood in urine can be the result of bladder or kidney infections. Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding may be due to the growth of polyps or fibroids. High or persistent fever: Anything 103 degrees Fahrenheit or higher warrants an immediate trip to the doctor, without exception. A low-grade fever (somewhere around 100 degrees) for several weeks with no obvious cause should also be checked out. What it might be: Fever is part of your body’s infection-fighting defenses, but an extremely high fever may signal severe illness, from a urinary tract infection and pneumonia to endocarditis (inflammation of the heart lining) and meningitis. A persistent low-grade fever could be a sign of a sinus infection or of some cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia. Other possibilities include a viral infection, which depending upon the bug and general health of the person might require hospitalization. Sudden confusion: Or inexplicable changes in personality, aggression or an inability to concentrate. What it might be: Worst case scenario – a brain tumor or bleeding in the brain. Stroke is another possibility, especially if confusion is combined with numbness or weakness in the face, hands or legs and slurred speech. If so, immediate medical attention is essential to reduce the chance of irreversible brain damage. Other possibilities include reactions to new medicines or interactions between medicines or alcohol. Abnormal blood pressure, low blood sugar and dehydration may also be causes. Swelling in the legs: Persistent, accumulated fluid (edema) in the extremities. What it might be: Swollen legs are a symptom of many conditions, but perhaps most worrisome is heart failure. The heart just isn’t adequately circulating blood through the body, causing some blood and other fluids to back up in the limbs. Other possibilities include vein problems and hypothyroidism (not enough of the thyroid hormone). Sudden or severe abdominal pain: Centralized around the belly button. Sharp and unexpected. What it might be: An aortic aneurysm or rupture, which is a bulge in the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Alternatively, it could be a perforation of the viscus (stomach, intestine or other hollow organ), usually due to an ulcer. Or intestinal ischemia, which means blood flow slows or stops to the intestines, causing oxygen starvation in affected tissues. Other possibilities include gallstones, diverticulitis (inflammation in the large intestine), irritable bowel syndrome or appendicitis. Flashes of light: Bright spots, flashes or other visual disturbances. What it might be: A detached retina, which means immediate medical care is needed to prevent permanent vision loss. Lights can also signal the coming or arrival of a migraine. How do I diagnose any of this symptoms on my smartphone? With smaart Health Artificial Intelligence powered smartphone app, you can diagnose or seek for Medical Consultations Via your smartphone in less than 2 minute while you receive instructions on what to do next. With Smaart Health, users can also carry out on demand Medical Consultations, connecting with foreign based doctors from Uk and US from the comfort of their homes in a cost-effective manner.

Mobility in #Healthcare — Why It Matters. Healthcare providers constantly faces some difficulties in providing quality and accurate healthcare to patients, while complying with the strictest of privacy safeguards. The journey of a patient usually starts with an initial diagnosis, then followed by a treatment, which often involves transfers between acute care, post-acute care, ambulatory care and home healthcare. If patient’s diagnosed and treated timely at each and every stage, it can have a detrimental effect on the patient’s health and quality of care. In such case, mobility in healthcare can help both healthcare providers and patients by offering a Universal Access to Healthcare. Mobility in healthcare helps both healthcare providers and patients by facilitating secure and accurate exchange of Medical diagnoses in healthcare. By creating an Artificial Intelligence mobile apps for healthcare, providers can improve the process of transitions of medical care, which will improve quality of healthcare with fewer re-admissions. Mobility in Healthcare – The Advantages Mobility in healthcare helps streamline workflow and fosters clinical collaboration between the providers and patients. By providing timely access to personal health information (PHI), it helps doctors to make timely critical care decisions. Mobility in healthcare is improving the reach and accessibility of critical/expensive business and clinical systems. These days, medical devices are moving closer to patient’s point-of-care. Patient’s medical record retrieval has become hassle free with the advent of handheld devices such as tablets, smartphones and PDAs. Doctors are not dependent on bedside workstations or terminals anymore to communicate and diagnose patient’s symptoms. Due to enhanced security, integration and coverage, mobility in healthcare has transformed how healthcare is conceptualized and delivered. Healthcare providers can now utilize handheld mobile devices for remote monitoring, charge capture, ordering, results viewing, dictation, diagnosis and Consultation etc. The healthcare industry is without a doubt one of the vertical that will extensively benefit from mobile apps and mobile medical devices. However, the key challenge still remains to find the right balance between allowing access to highly confidential medical records through mobile apps and devices, while keeping the patient’s data secure. Wearable devices can significantly improve the quality of healthcare by providing real time health information to patients as well as doctors. Generally speaking, by adopting Artificial Intelligence mobile phone apps, doctors can speed up diagnoses and treatments of patients. We cannot overlook the benefits mobility offers to hospitals, patients and doctors. Access to Universal Primary Healthcare will be prominent in our society which will save many lives. Maintaining detailed medical records of patients would become much easier and organized regardless of where patients, and doctors are carrying out diagnosis. By analyzing the information collected through the use of Artificial intelligence apps on mobile phones, it would be possible for healthcare experts to devise improved treatment options for chronic diseases. When it comes to mobility, there is still lots that can be accomplished in the healthcare professionals and patients. The enthusiastic and rapid adoption of mobility in the healthcare industry is growing globally. Healthcare providers need to incorporate mobility in the delivery of healthcare and wellness to patients, which would further make it easy for Medical care delivery remotely. It cannot be denied any more that in the currently and globally, we’re truly witnessing a healthcare industry transformed by mobility. #HealthcareprovidersinNigeria #smaarthealth |

What Everyone Should Know About Heart Attacks. Did you know that heart disease is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States? Typical symptoms of coronary artery disease include pain in the middle of the chest while walking, lifting something heavy or climbing stairs. If it's a warning sign of an impending heart attack, this pain will eventually go away with rest. But if it's a life-threatening heart attack, the chest pain will persist. The classic scenario of a heart-attack case is a slightly overweight, sedentary, middle-age man who smokes and ventures out daily "Classic," however, does not mean "always," and there are a few things everyone should know about heart-attack symptoms: 1. Chest pain does not have to be "pain," and it doesn’t have to be in the chest. The pain can feel more like a pressure, tightness or squeezing sensation. This pain, pressure or tightness can also be in the left shoulder, left arm, throat, jaw or back. 2. You don't have to have chest pain or pressure to be suffering from a heart attack. Although pain or pressure in the left-side shoulder, arm or jaw is most common, some people may experience nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, hiccups, sweating and/or sudden trouble breathing. Overall, there's a sudden sense of not feeling well, and the time frame is usually anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours. People with diabetes (high blood sugar) and of older age may have milder symptoms. 3. Heart disease does not discriminate and can strike even in people at low risk. You don't have to be overweight, sedentary or a smoker to have a heart attack. 4. Heart disease doesn't just affect men. Heart disease is also the number one cause of death in women across all races. In fact, death from heart disease is more than 10 times more likely than death from breast cancer. Like men, women may present with vague symptoms like nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, hiccups, sweating and/or sudden trouble breathing. However, more often than not, women present with the classic chest pressure and, unlike men, symptoms are missed simply because of lack of awareness. Heart disease kills more women than men every year, and women are more likely to die within a year of their heart attacks than men. However, compared to men, women have underlying differences in the structure and function of the arteries of their heart and the sequence of events in the body that lead to their heart attacks. 5. There's an art to exercise. Anyone over the age of 40 should be cautious when exercising — even relatively healthy people shouldn’t suddenly exert themselves more than usual. All exercise should start slowly and gradually increase in pace, duration and resistance. And it's always a good idea to talk to your physician before starting a new exercise regimen.
