What are the warning signs?
Some warning signs include: • Asking people to repeat themselves • Missing large parts of conversations when there is a lot of background noise • Finding it hard to understand dialogue at the movies or the theater • Complaining that people around you are mumbling when they speak • Inability to hear common sounds like doorbells or alarm clocks If you think you have a hearing loss, take the 5 minute hearing test developed by the American Academy of Otoloaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
The severity of infliction depends both upon the species of bird it infects, as well as the strain of virus. Birds infected with HPAI (Highly pathogenic avian influenza) may die suddenly or show a range of clinical signs such as swollen heads, respiratory signs and loss of appetite. Strains with mild lower pathogens often cause milder symptoms or even none at all. Some birds especially waterfowl can be infected without showing any signs of illness.
There are certain warning signs that go along with worsening gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. A sudden weight gain can be a result of your body holding fluid because of the effects of high blood pressure on the kidneys. This weight gain may be seen as swelling, which is called edema. You may see it most in the fingers, face and above the ankles. Because the kidneys may not work as well, protein may spill into the urine. This condition is called proteinuria. Severe headaches, blurred vision and pain in the upper abdomen are also signs that may mean you are getting sicker. • Edema. Most women have some swelling of their feet during pregnancy. But swelling of the face, hands or feet early in the morning should be reported to your doctor. • Headache. Headaches can be caused by stress, too much reading, close-up work or not eating. A headache that does not get better after taking an over-the-counter analgesic is a cause for concern. Severe headaches may be because of fluid (edema)
