10 signs that are in vain mistaken for damage and the evil eye

Reading a prayer or paying a fortune teller is easier and faster than looking for a good doctor, taking tests and changing your lifestyle to a healthier one. Therefore, despite the development of science and medicine, people continue to believe in the supernatural causes of ailments and turn to healers and psychics.

Unfortunately, the placebo effect of aura cleansing or chicken egg manipulation will not cure the real disease. At the same time, fortunetellers and tarologists call damage and the evil eye signs of real diseases, sometimes severe and requiring urgent medical attention.

Below we list 10 signs of the "evil eye" or dark witchcraft, in which it is worth visiting the hospital.

1. Depression, apathy, unwillingness to live

These symptoms are often listed first, indicating that the mood is spoiling for no apparent reason.

Despite the fact that depression may begin due to the death of a relative or a traumatic event, this is not at all a necessary condition.

Among other reasons may beDepression / Cleveland Clinic genetic predisposition, disturbances in the chemical signals of the brain, medication intake, as well as the characteristics of the nervous system, susceptible to stress.

Symptoms of depression include feelings of sadness, anxiety, and hopelessness that last for more than two weeks.

There may also be problems with thinking, memory, appetite and sleep disorders, headaches and abdominal pain, lack of libido.

And all this is often considered a sign of damage and the evil eye, so that people who are prone to mysticism may postpone a visit to a psychiatrist. And it's absolutely not worth it.

Without treatment, symptoms can worsen and result in self-harm and suicide attempts.

2. Unexplained pain all over the body

Chronic muscle and joint pain can be symptomFibromyalgia / Cleveland Clinic fibromyalgia.

This condition is often accompanied by causeless fatigue, anxiety, depression and migraines, digestive problems may begin, including constipation or diarrhea. All this is usually listed in the lists of signs of damage and the evil eye.

Scientists still don't know exactly what causes fibromyalgia. Among the possible reasons calledCauses - Fibromyalgia / NHS:

• disorders of the central nervous system, as a result of which a person becomes especially sensitive to pain;
• hormonal imbalances, such as reduced production of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, increased levels of cortisol;
• genetic predisposition;
• stressful events - trauma, viral infections, childbirth, surgery, breakup, abuse, death of loved ones;
• psychiatric disorders - depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder.

And since doctors are still not sure what exactly triggers the development of the disease, and do not know how to treat it, you can take this condition for a curse.

At the same time, damage is unlikely to evaporate from changes in lifestyle and medication, but the symptoms of fibromyalgia may well be alleviated by choosing the right therapy.

Antidepressants, pain medication, muscle relaxants and sedatives, cognitive behavioral therapy, stress management techniques, increased physical activity and strength training - all this helps to get rid of the symptoms of the disease and improve the quality life.

3. Diarrhea, strange green stools

Diarrhea overtakesDiarrhea/Cleveland Clinic most people several times a year. The stool becomes liquid and watery, sometimes nausea, increased gas formation, and abdominal pain appear.

Most antibiotics can also cause diarrhea. The fact is that they kill not only harmful bacteria, but also beneficial microbiota. As a result, the intestines are colonized by pathogenic microorganisms, which cause loose stools.

So if you didn’t wash your hands before eating, violated the food storage conditions or bought something ready-made in the store, and even more so recently drank a course of antibiotics, you can forget about curses.

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, eat rice, potatoes, bananas and white bread, and keep an eye on your condition. If the stool becomes black, oily, there is blood and a strong unpleasant odor, go to a gastroenterologist.

Also, do not delay your visit if, in addition to diarrhea, you have a fever, pain and nausea occur, and symptoms of dehydration are observed: dark urine, headaches, palpitations, irritability, dizziness and nausea.

4. Sudden change in weight

Fortune-tellers call a sharp weight loss "damage to shrinkage" - a magical manipulation designed to make a person unattractive and ruin his relationship.
