Issues That Can Go Wrong With Your Senses
Your health is important, and while people that have no issues with all of their senses may take them for granted, there are problems that can happen. You are lucky to see and hear clearly, and it can be very traumatic to lose any of your five senses. But how is it that people can lose things like smell and taste?
Well, it is possible. Your hearing and sight aren’t the only senses that can be lost or diminished. Here are some of the things that can affect your senses.
Hearing
You use your hearing everyday, from listening to the people around you to listening to the television. Without hearing, you would not be able to listen to music, TV, other people, or anything, for that matter. Whole plenty of people survive in the world without hearing, why not work to protect yours.
That means wearing earplugs when you will be around loud noises, and learning the safe and proper way to clean your ears. If you experience ringing in your ears or any amount of hearing loss, talk to your doctor.
Eyesight
For most people, eye problems come with age. However, some people are born blind, and some children need glasses at a young age. People are born with lazy eye issues, and more. These are things you deal with as they come along.
You do want to get a yearly eye exam though, to make sure that your sight is good, and to allow your eye doctor to look behind your eye at all the components that keep you seeing, Eye exams to help with early detection of blindness, glaucoma, and other eye issues.
Touch
There are illnesses that can cause you to lose your sense of touch. Most commonly, though, an injury to your nerves, such as a broken limb or spine, or trauma of some sort, can cause loss of feeling. If you have nervous system issues, this too can be an issue.
Smell
If you are not smelling things normally, or at all, it could be something as simple as a cold or sinus infection affecting you. However, it could also be something more major, such as tumors, polyps, or even something wrong within your brain. If you don’t have a cold and you’re sense of smell is gone, or not normal, talk to your doctor.
Taste
If there is something wrong with your sense of smell, then it will commonly affect your sense of taste as well, since they both work together. But you can also lose your sense of taste on it’s own. As you get older both of these senses can wane some as well, just like your other senses.

Dealing with Diarrhea or Loose Bowel Movement (LBM)
Digestive disorders that would come normal would include that of consuming something that the stomach would not like. In other cases, it would include food intake of something that may have been already spoiled thus leading towards discharge of wastes and toxins that may become uncontrollable.
Loose Bowel Movement (LBM) is a natural occurrence where much of the body minerals would be affected as well. Changes in the bowel movement are sure to occur in bad digestive instances. Experiencing stomach cramps, slight chills and the usual uncomfortable feelings are among the things to watch out for in such cases.
The best way is to continuously drink water as a form of therapy since LBM drains the body of its liquids at times. Gatorade has been known to be a good alternative to drink up because of its amino acids that would ensure that the body would still have the necessary proteins and to avoid dehydration.

The Irritating Sound of Snoring
For a person that pushes himself hard to be able to do all the things that need to be done, it will always come to a point where he would be looking for rest and naps to be able to temporarily recharge his energy. Some people grab any opportunity, even short naps to revitalize their tired bodies. One thing noticeable is that even in short naps, a person would tend to snore, something that would be irritating to people who would be around at that time.
Snoring is natural for people who are really tired. Snoring may be irritating, but it is also a bad sign since it means some disorders for the human body, particularly the cardiology parts of the human body. Heart problems and abuse of health has been found to contribute to snoring, meaning that at some point, people may need to consult their physicians and most probably need to have check-ups to get an overall assessment of their health status.
Snoring may not be immediately noticed by people since they are most of the time unaware of it. People around them would be the ones to hear it, and once they do and inform them about it, it would be best to take note and be more cautious.
