We have all at some point or another, experienced minor symptoms like brittle nails, stuffy noses, etc... and have brushed these symptoms off like they were no big deal. What the majority of people don't realize is that when these simple symptoms are persistent it could really mean something far more serious. Just to give you an example we've listed five things your body could be telling you about a more serious problem.

Five Things

1. Burping. Frequent burping could actually be sign that you may have gastro esophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD. This is a condition where your stomach acid leaks back into the esophagus, therefore causing a burning sensation in the chest. It can prove to be very important to get a diagnosis or DNA test early since medications can usually improve it and/or prevent other, more serious, conditions.

2. Changes in your nails. Pale colored nail beds could possibly be a sign of anemia, while blue-tinged nails could sometimes be caused by Reynaud's disease. Brittle nails on the other hand, could be a sign of an underactive thyroid or even a vitamin deficiency. Dimpled or pitted nails may even be an early sign of psoriasis.

3. Nasal Congestion. If you've had a persistent stuffy nose or pressure in your sinuses, you may have a low-grade infection. Any infection, as we know, can possibly lead to more serious problems.

4. Unexplained hair loss. Hair loss can be happening due to either an underactive or overactive thyroid. On the other hand, hair loss can also be attributed to some sort of nutritional deficiency.

5. Pain in Joints. It is important to notice whether or not when your joints are red and warm to the touch when they are aching. If they are it could be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis. Typically rheumatoid arthritis affects multiple joints and symmetrically. In other words, if your right knee is hurting then most likely your left knee is too.
