1. Chest pain - the chest pain that doesn't go away, varied shortness of breath, and any upper body pain that hasn't occurred before and if you experience any of these symptoms, he says, you should call your doctor or 911 immediately.
2. Severe head pain - chances are, it's a migraine, but if it isn't accompanied by other migraine symptoms (such as a visual aura), sudden, severe head pain can signal a brain aneurysm, and a burst aneurysm can cause brain damage within minutes, so you need to call 911 immediately.
3. A throbbing tooth - it's likely that the tooth's nerve has become damaged, probably because the surrounding pearly white enamel is cracked or rotting away, and unless you get it patched up quickly, bacteria in your mouth can invade the nerve.
4. Sharp pain in your side - if you feel as if you're being skewered in your right side, and you're also nauseated and running a fever, you could have appendicitis.
5. Abdominal discomfort with gas or bloating – if you've felt gassy and bloated more days than not, and it takes fewer slices of pizza to fill you up than it once did. If the symptoms are new, the worst-case scenario is ovarian cancer.
6. Back pain with tingling toes - one of your discs (the spongy rings that cushion the bones in your spine) could be pressing on the spinal nerve, and without proper attention, you risk permanent nerve damage.
7. Leg pain with swelling - your calf is extremely tender in one location, noticeably swollen, and red or warm to the touch and you might have deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), commonly known as a blood clot.
