St. Petersburg explained: seasonal blues can hide a dangerous disease

With the arrival of autumn, St. Petersburgers begin to feel a decline in strength and drowsiness, writing it off as the usual seasonal blues. However, doctors warn that prolonged weakness can be a sign of serious disorders in the body. This was reported in the “Petersburg diary”.

The main way to distinguish normal fatigue from illness is to check if rest helps. If after a full sleep and a calm weekend, vigor has not returned, and problems with concentration persist for weeks, this is a reason to undergo an examination. This condition often indicates hidden pathologies.

Another alarm bell - poor tolerance of usual physical exertion. You should be wary if the usual actions, such as climbing stairs, suddenly began to give you noticeably harder than a couple of months ago.

At the same time, experts identified symptoms in which a visit to the doctor can not be postponed in any case. Dangerous signals of the body are shortness of breath and a strong heartbeat even with minimal activity, regular dizziness and darkening in the eyes, as well as pain, heaviness or a feeling of pressure in the chest.
