The seemingly small health symptoms doctors say you shouldn't ignore
Sign up to our free Living Well email for advice on living a happier, healthier and longer life Live your life healthier and happier with our free weekly Living Well newsletter H ave you ever had a weird ache that had you umming and ahhing about whether to book a doctor's appointment? Or wondered if you need to get this probably minor thing checked out? Our modern lives of overworking, poor sleep routines and general life stress all exacerbate a wide variety of symptoms. However, there are some things that, though seemingly small, may require a second opinion. The Independent spoke to Dr Lori Solomon, chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at New York Medical College, and Dr Estelle Williams, medical director for CityMD for the southern New Jersey region to get their thoughts on which symptoms should really not be ignored. Going to the bathroom too frequently Waking up in the middle of the night needing to pee is totally normal, Solomon tells The Independent. But if that's something you're doing two or three times per night – every night – that might be indicative of a more serious problem. Over-frequent urination can be a symptom of diabetes. 'When your sugar is high, one of the ways the body tries to get rid of the sugar, is to get rid of it through the urine,' Soloman says. 'During the day, you just go to the bathroom more often, but at nighttime, you often have to wake up.' Simple things such as needing to go to the bathroom frequently at night, or pain that causes you to wake up, may be a sign of something more serious that should be checked out by a medical professional (Getty/iStock) Williams agrees, adding that other worrying signs can be feeling more thirsty and a significant increase in appetite. 'Those are the types of things I think need to be checked sooner rather than later,' she says. Pain in the night Any pain that wakes you up during the night could be a problem. While pulled muscles, physical injuries, or other discomforts may hinder someone getting to sleep – they shouldn't be disturbing you once you're asleep, Solomon says. 'If you're waking up in the middle of the night with a headache, you've got a problem… because usually we don't wake up with headaches in the middle of the night,' she says. 'If that's waking you up at night – I'm a little bit more worried about that.' Sudden headaches Headaches are 'super common,' and shouldn't necessarily be considered worrisome, Solomon says. However, if a headache is accompanied by other things such as vision changes, nausea tingling in the extremities, weakness – those may be a sign that something neurological is going on. Williams cautions those who jump to label sudden, severe headaches as migraines. 'A migraine is actually a very specific diagnosis and headache pattern, requiring neurologic evaluation,' she says. 'It's good that you get evaluated if you're having a headache that's unusual for you, if it's very intense.' Headaches are super common, but if you're experiencing extra symptoms including nausea, vision changes or weakness this can be a sign of something else. Sudden, intense headaches, known as 'thunderclap headaches' should definitely necessitate a trip to the emergency room (Getty/iStock) Such high-intensity episodes, coming on quickly and out of nowhere, can be what is known as 'thunderclap headaches' should definitely necessitate a trip to the emergency room, says Solomon. Shortness of breath or fatigue Another symptom that crops up fairly frequently that shouldn't be ignored is sudden shortness of breath – especially if it's not something you've experienced before, says Williams. 'If you're like, 'that's weird. I was just doing my regular activities and I became very winded and short of breath,' get that checked,' she says. 'I would also say, if you take a deep breath and you develop pain in your chest or your back that you've never had before, that can sometimes be a soft sign for a blood clot in the lungs, called a pulmonary embolism, that we certainly want to see for sooner rather than later. Fatigue too – while common in many people due to hectic work schedules or other lifestyle commitments – should not be significantly interfering with things you would do day-to-day such as exercising, Solomon adds. In very severe cases, fatigue can be symptomatic of heart disease, sleep apnea, and even some cancers. Indigestion There is one less obvious and very typical symptom of heart disease. 'It's very common for people who are having a heart attack to think they're having indigestion,' Solomon says. 'If you're taking a walk and all of a sudden you feel like, 'Oh, I've got some indigestion', and then it gets better when you stop walking, that's your heart.' A combination of fatigue and indigestion, unconnected to a big meal, is something that people should see the doctor about, she says. It could be due to a lack of blood flow to the heart. Williams says that bouts of indigestion-like symptoms – pressure or tightness – that last for 15 minutes or 20 minutes can be telling, especially for those who do not typically suffer from indigestion or heartburn. 'Sometimes people think 'Oh, I just ate something weird, and I must have a bubble of gas in my chest,' she says. 'That sensation of indigestion is something that can be an indicator of heart disease… It can be a masker of something more serious.' Blood in your stool Monitor your bowels, says Williams, because being constipated or having diarrhea is something that's different is worth getting checked out. And while it may seem obvious, seeing blood in either your poop or pee is definitely something to see a doctor about. 'If you're having a change of bowel habits – if you see black stool or a lot of blood when you're using the restroom, I feel like that's perhaps not a subtle sign,' William says. 'That's something a little more concerning that means you should come in.' People often associate blood in the stool as a hemorrhoid, but should not be ignored as it can be a common presentation for colon cancer, according to Solomon. 'In general you generally don't want to see blood in the urine either,' she says. 'But that's usually kidney stones or urinary tract infections.' Persistent symptoms Solomon also warns people to pay attention when things just don't clear up on their own. 'If there's a cough lasting more than four weeks, you generally want to see somebody about that,' Solomon says. 'There's lots of reasons you can have a cough, but generally, if you have a cough after a cold, it generally goes away in a few weeks. So if it lasts longer than a month, we generally want to know about that.' Williams agrees, adding that things that have been happening for months that may seem innocuous may still be worth investigating. Losing weight unintentionally is definitely something worth mentioning to your primary care doctor. There are many reasons that a person can get a cough, though most generally go away in a week or so following a cold. Any longer, and it might be worth booking an appointment to see your doctor (Getty/iStock) Above all, Solomon recommends that to avoid anything too concerning, take regular visits to your primary care physician, who is better qualified to notice any changes, concerning or otherwise. She encourages people to be over, rather than under-cautious. 'Sometimes people feel silly about coming in with all these different symptoms, but I don't think we could expect that people are going to know everything that doctors know,' she says. 'I'd rather say it's nothing and reassure them than miss something that could be really serious if we didn't catch it in time.'

Need Another Reason to Love Ginger? A New Study Shows It Can Provide a Major Health Benefit
A new study published in medical journal Cureus reveals numerous health benefits ginger can provide, including its ability to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. The many health benefits of ginger led researchers to conclude that the ingredient is a viable tool for assisting in treatment of cardiovascular disease. Ginger can also aid in digestion, boost immunity, and reduce is a welcome addition to many recipes. It's aromatic, spicy, and carries a hint of earthy, citrusy flavor. But aside from its zesty taste, recent research published in medical journal Cureus discovered that the flowering spice is a natural way to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. The 2025 study analyzed the potential health benefits of ginger in cardiology, with a focus on how it can impact diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Beyond this, the review also investigated the health benefits of gingerol and shogaol, two phytochemicals — naturally occurring chemicals in plants — found in ginger that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. According to the report, ginger contains numerous bioactive compounds that decrease inflammation, lower blood pressure, enhance vascular health, and improve lipid profiles. Related: 3 Superfoods You Should Be Using in Italian Dishes, According to Giada De Laurentiis Together the many health benefits of ginger led scientists to conclude that 'due to the biological functions and cardioprotective properties of ginger and its constituents, it may serve as a new therapeutic agent for various CVDs (cardiovascular diseases).' Researchers also confirmed that ginger has few adverse effects, deeming the superfood a worthwhile nutraceutical as it provides health benefits beyond basic nutrition, helping to prevent or manage disease. Ginger has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting characteristics, primarily due to its phenolic compounds, gingerol and shogaol, says Srihari Naidu, MD, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at New York Medical College. Phenolic compounds are a diverse group of natural molecules widely found in plants and known for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Research shows that gingerol specifically can inhibit inflammation and protect the body from damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules that destroy cells and DNA). As Mohanakrishnan Sathyamoorthy, MD, the chair of internal medicine at the Burnett School of Medicine at Texas Christian University explains, shogaol is derived from gingerol, and other studies suggest it carries many of the same health perks as this compound, but it's also known to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which are key markers for a stable cardiovascular system. Additional research in the peer-reviewed journal Biomolecules indicates that ginger favorably affects hallmarks of aging at a cellular level. This is likely because ginger is a natural antioxidant, which can help neutralize free radicals that cause premature aging. However, Naidu says more research is needed to determine ginger's exact effects on longevity and aging. 'Ginger has anti-inflammatory effects which help lower inflammation throughout the body, and decreased inflammation of the blood vessels helps improve blood pressure regulation and prevents plaque buildup in your arteries,' says Rohit Vuppuluri, DO, an interventional and vascular cardiologist at Chicago Heart and Vascular Specialists. The ingredient's blood-thinning properties may also help prevent blood clots, ultimately reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular ginger consumption can significantly reduce triglyceride and LDL cholesterol (often known as 'bad' cholesterol), while increasing HDL (or 'good') cholesterol, says Sathyamoorthy. This is especially beneficial for heart health as high levels of LDL cholesterol are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, he explains. Lower triglyceride levels are connected to better health of the inner lining of the blood vessels (endothelium), which is important for overall cardiovascular functioning. Most research on the benefits of ginger involves daily consumption of anywhere from 500 milligrams to two grams, according to Naidu. 'I would recommend staying within the lower dose, or around 500 milligrams a day, as higher doses can cause gastrointestinal side effects — such as abdominal discomfort and gas — and possibly increase bleeding risk, especially for those on blood thinners,' he says. The National Library of Medicine recommends no more than four grams of ginger a day. Some people report heartburn or stomach upset with ginger intake, so those with ulcers should avoid regular consumption in any dose unless cleared by a doctor, says Naidu. When it comes to the type of ginger, Vuppuluri recommends the raw ingredient because it's the most potent, leading to maximum antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Related: These Nordic Berries Are Antioxidant-Rich Superfoods With a Deep-Rooted History Pickled ginger, as seen at Japanese sushi restaurants, is another great, less bitter option. Ginger tea and ginger powder are other accessible ways to incorporate the spice into your routine, though Naidu says more research is needed on the efficacy of both compared to its raw, unprocessed form. However, keeping ginger consumption consistent is the most important factor for those seeking to take advantage of its benefits. Naidu also cautions consumers to be careful with ginger supplements, because they are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. If you prefer a supplement, your doctor can guide you on the best option, but one helpful tip is to seek out a product that has been third-party tested (for example, NSF-, USP-, or GMP-certified). This means an unbiased party has tested the product and confirmed it only contains the ingredients listed on the label and in the amounts stated. Aside from supporting cardiovascular health, ginger is a digestion superstar. Gingerol is found to stimulate the gut and improve gastrointestinal mobility, which means it helps food move efficiently through the digestive tract. Related: A New Study Says When You Eat Is More Important Than When You Sleep Plus, thanks to ginger's ability to increase digestive responsiveness and speed up stomach emptying, it may calm nausea from motion sickness, pregnancy, and chemotherapy, per Naidu. Those same gingerols have antimicrobial and antifungal properties to help fight infection and boost immunity. The anti-inflammatory agents in ginger may also soothe irritated skin, ease menstrual cramps, and reduce joint pain. Read the original article on Food & Wine

The Best Makeup Removers That Won't Destroy Your Skin, According To Dermatologists
Confession: I've been using makeup wipes to remove my makeup for years. They're convenient (I'll admit I'm a little lazy when it comes to my beauty routine), cheap and popular — but this convenience can come at a cost. And after talking to dermatologists, I'm convinced I need to make a switch. Amazon 'The best makeup removers are ones that are great at breaking down heavy and/or waterproof makeup while being gentle on the skin,' Dr. Shoshana Marmon, a board-certified dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at New York Medical College, told us This criteria, unfortunately, does not align with most makeup wipes, according to both Marmon and Dr. Asmi Berry, a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles. 'Makeup wipes are one of the worst options because many contain ingredients such as alcohol, fragrance, and preservatives that can irritate the skin and disrupt the skin barrier,' Berry said. 'They also don't thoroughly remove makeup and often leave behind residue, which can contribute to breakouts or dryness.' I've definitely noticed my skin feeling dry and overworked after rubbing away at it with a wipe. But if makeup wipes are out, what's in? 'The type of makeup remover that works best for you depends on your skin type and the makeup you wear,' Berry said. Both she and Marmon recommended oil-based removers for dry and sensitive skin because they can keep the skin hydrated with its natural oils intact while they cleanse. On the other hand, micellar water or gel-based water cleansers are good choices for oily and acne-prone skin that get the job done without the residue and harsh rubbing of makeup wipes. 'While these water-based removers are gentle, they may not be strong enough to remove products that are long-wear or waterproof,' Berry added. 'If you wear full-coverage foundation, waterproof mascara, or heavy sunscreen, you may need an oil-based cleanser or a double-cleansing routine to ensure everything is fully removed.' She recommends a gel- or oil-based cleanser first, and micellar water second for people who wear heavier makeup. It's also important to pay attention to ingredient labels on makeup removers. 'Glycerin, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and plant-based oils help hydrate and protect the skin,' Marmon told us, while 'fragrance, alcohol, sulfates, and certain preservatives like parabens can cause dryness and irritation' and should be avoided. Berry agrees, adding that fragrances and alcohols can even 'disrupt the natural protective barrier, leading to increased skin sensitivity over time.' If you're overwhelmed about the amount of options for makeup removers out there, Marmon and Berry have helped me round up some picks that they recommend to their patients. These work for different skin types and many are just as convenient as makeup wipes without the harsh ingredients. 1. Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water Amazon "For my patients, I often recommend fragrance-free and gentle removers that effectively cleanse without disrupting the skin barrier," Berry says. "Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water is a good choice for sensitive skin because it removes makeup effortlessly without irritation." Marmon similarly recommends this micellar water, as it's gentle and non-stripping. The first micellar water ever created, according to the brand, this product has a no-rinse formula so you can just apply it with a cotton pad and then go about your day. It works on face and eyes, is fragrance-free and the bottle comes in several different sizes, including a 3.4-ounce bottle that's great for travel. Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six sizes and a multi-pack). 2. Amazon "The E.l.f. Cosmetics cleansing balm is great for dry skin as it melts away makeup while nourishing the skin, and contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides," Berry said. The balm is oil-based and transforms from a solid to an oil when you apply it to the skin, making it a good choice for double cleansing as well — just cleanse with micellar water or a water-based cleanser afterward. The tub comes in three sizes, and a little product goes a long way. You only need about a dime-sized amount to get off most everyday makeup. Get it from Amazon for $4.24+ (available in three sizes). 3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane micellar cleansing water Amazon You may have heard of La Roche-Posay's Toleriane line, which includes a reader-favorite moisturizer. Marmon likes this micellar cleansing water from the same line because it's "oil-free, won't clog pores and contains glycerin for hydration." The oil-free formula is both cleansing and toning and is so gentle you can use it on your eyes, lips and entire face. Plus, like the other micellar waters, it's no-rinse, so it doesn't take any more time to apply than a makeup wipe would. Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 4. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Amazon This editors' pick, the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, is a reader favorite for its versatility. It's technically a moisturizer, but can also be used as a primer, cleansing milk and — you guessed it — makeup remover. Its formula contains hydrating natural ingredients like shea butter and aloe vera to nourish the skin. The multi-purpose product has garnered 4.5 stars on Amazon across almost 31,000 reviews, and multiple reviewers say they've been using it for years. Promising review:"This is truly my holy grail product. I was introduced to this brand through Birchbox in 2013 and it's saved my skin in more ways than one. I use this to remove my makeup, to moisturize, AND as a foundation primer. I have angry skin and I've never had an issue with breakouts or clogged pores from using it. I had a terrible problem with dry patches on my face and foundation would just stick to them and flake off. Since I've started using this, my dry patches are gone and my normally oily t-zone has normalized. This replaces several products because it truly is a multitasker." — Paula Downie Amazon As gentle as the Lait-Crème Concentré is on sensitive skin, it does contain a tiny bit of fragrance. So if you'd rather cut that out entirely in accordance with derms' suggestions or due to allergies, Embryolisse also makes a Lait-Crème Sensitive that's essentially the same product but fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. You can still use the cream for all the same purposes as the original, and it contains the same soothing and nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter and beeswax. Get it from Amazon for $32. 6. The cloth MakeUp Eraser Pro Amazon Another editors' pick, the MakeUp Eraser Pro is a great way to save some money: It's a cloth you can reuse and machine-wash again and again, meaning you won't have to restock as much as you would with something like a liquid cleanser in a bottle. Plus, the MakeUp Eraser cleans with just warm water. The soft surface and lack of harsh ingredients like alcohols make this a safer option for your skin than a makeup wipe. The cloth has two sides, one short-pile to loosen and remove makeup and one long-pile to exfoliate the skin afterward. You can get the Eraser in a range of different colors and patterns to add some fun personality to your beauty routine. Promising review:"This is my 3rd makeup eraser, I like to have multiples when they need washed. I'm not sure the magic but they remove makeup so well. Haven't used a makeup wipe in years thanks to this. I really appreciate the new design having a loop so I can easily hang it on a towel hook to dry. They hold up well in the wash, as I have washed mine several times and they still work great." — Amazon Customer Amazon Squalane, a lipid that is naturally found in your skin's oils, can be incredibly moisturizing for dry skin and is noncomedogenic. That's why we like The Ordinary's Squalane Cleanser, which moisturizes as it removes makeup and is alcohol-, fragrance- and paraben-free. The cleanser melts into an oil and protects the skin's natural barrier as it lifts makeup away. Some reviewers say they enjoy using this as a first cleanse in a double cleansing routine. Promising review:"My FAVORITE hands down cleaner EVER!!! Such a little goes so far and removes even my most ultra waterproof eye makeup in less that 5 mins. I love the cream to oil concept and I will never stop buying this" — Tiana Get it from Amazon for $10.50+ (available in two sizes). The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

The 3 Worst Drinks for Your Brain Health, According to Neurologists
We often think of our diet as a way to boost our physical health. By that, we mean keeping weight in check, our hearts healthy and our blood sugar levels within an optimal range. However, diet can also affect cognitive (or brain) health. "Our brain is an energy-intensive organ that relies on a steady supply of nutrients to function properly," explains , a cognitive-behavioral neurologist, chief medical officer of Isaac Health and a practitioner at NYU Langone Health. "What we eat and drink can influence brain function in both the short and long term." Dr. Salinas says some beverages boast essential nutrients that support our brain health, while others might contribute to "inflammation, oxidative stress or changes in brain structure over time." "By understanding these effects, we can make smarter choices to protect memory, focus, and overall brain function as we age," Dr. Salinas says. Dr. Salinas and other neurologists revealed the three worst drinks for brain health and suggested what to sip (and do) instead. Related: Sorry to burst your bubble: While diet soda is sometimes billed as a "healthier" soda than regular sugary versions, research and neurologists caution it may not be the best choice for your brain. "Numerous studies have indicated that aspartame may have a negative impact on brain health," warns , a neurologist and the vice chancellor at New York Medical College. Dr. Etienne points to a 2017 cohort study published in Stroke that found that artificially sweetened soft drinks were linked with a higher risk of stroke and dementia. There was no significant increase in either one with sugar-sweetened beverages (which isn't to say those are boons for brain health either—see No. 2). Dr. Salinas also mentioned the 2017 cohort study in Stroke. "While this doesn't prove causation, it raises concerns that artificial sweeteners may impact brain function," Dr. Salinas says. "One possible explanation is that they could alter gut bacteria, which in turn, affects brain health, or that they might influence insulin responses, potentially impacting cognitive function." Dr. Etienne said aspartame might also raise the levels of specific chemicals in the brain that can restrict the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. "These neurotransmitters play crucial roles in regulating neurophysiological activity," Dr. Etienne says. "Additionally, aspartame serves as a chemical stressor by raising plasma cortisol levels and promoting the production of excess free radicals." Dr. Salinas notes we still need more research to clarify whether and why aspartame might have long-term risks for brain health. Related: Getting your fruit fix in liquid form may carry brain health risks if it's loaded with added sugars. A 2023 study found that older adults who consumed the highest amounts of sugar were two times more likely to develop dementia than their peers with the lowest intake. Dr. Salinas points out that the study also specifically highlighted a link between fructose and sucrose, which are common in fruit juices, and a higher dementia risk. "These findings suggest that excess sugar intake may contribute to brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases, possibly due to inflammation, insulin resistance and oxidative stress," Dr. Salinas says. Dr. Etienne double-taps on the not-so-sweet issues with blood sugar. "When sugar levels fluctuate rapidly, individuals may experience increased fatigue, difficulty concentrating and brain fog," Dr. Etienne says. "These symptoms can lead to irritability and mood swings." Dr. Etienne says many of his patients returned to him and said their brain fog improved after reducing their sugar intake. Got a sweet tooth? "Since the body does require some sugar, I recommend consuming whole fruits instead, as they provide natural sugars along with fiber, which promotes better gut health," Dr. Etienne says. Related: Moderate drinking, especially red wine, has historically been linked to better health outcomes. While some experts we spoke with did mention that a few studies suggest there's a chance moderate wine consumption might improve brain health, they don't recommend testing the theory. For starters? "Let's be honest: Most people don't stop at just a glass a few times a week," says Jasdeep S. Hundal, Psy.D., ABPP-CN, the director of the Center for Memory & Healthy Aging at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center. "If you're drinking for the 'health benefits,' there are better ways to protect your brain." There's also growing research warning of alcohol's impact on overall health, including cognitive. A 2022 Natural Communications study of more than 36,000 people found that even one to two drinks daily can lower brain volume, especially in regions that affect cognition. "These structural changes suggest that alcohol, even in small amounts, may not be as harmless as once thought," Dr. Salinas says. Additionally, alcohol has immediate effects on your brain's capabilities. "Wine consumption can cause immediate effects by disrupting neurotransmitter regulation and cause impaired thinking, sleep difficulties, migraines and coordination issues," warns Dr. Jasmin Dao, MD, Ph.D., a California-based pediatric and adult neurologist at Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach and MemorialCare Long Beach. "It can cause mood changes with increased feelings of depression, anxiety and anger." Related: Plain water bores you, and the above bums you out. We get it. The good news? "There are many alternatives to sugary drinks," Dr. Dao says. Dr. Dao recommends sipping these drinks for brain health: Sparkling/bubbly water Vegetable Juices Water infused with natural flavorings, like fruit, vegetables and herbs Coconut water Green tea Kombucha tea What you eat is also essential. "Eat a brain-healthy diet, like the Mediterranean or MIND diet," Dr. Salinas says. "These diets emphasize whole foods, healthy fats and antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and support brain function." A 2023 Neurology study suggests he's right.
