Consult Your Doctor If You Have These 11 Health Symptoms

Many of us tend to put our needs aside so we can give our best as mums, wives, caregivers, bosses and daughters. But where your health is concerned, suffering in silence (or worse, wearing your symptoms like a badge of honour) isn’t such a good idea.

Some health problems might be signs of something more serious, and turning a blind eye to them could prove detrimental down the road. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t ignore them or pass them off as insignificant – see your doctor right away.

We ask two Singaporean experts – general practitioner Dr Shiv Gill and Dr Choo Chee Yong, a consultant at the Changi General Hospital’s Department of Anaesthesia – for the unexplained and persistent health problems to watch out for.
