01. Hypothyroidism → depression, aging
The disease is caused by abnormally reduced thyroid production. Symptoms include sadness and fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, muscle aches and stiffness, constipation, and dry skin. Because doctors judge by symptom, it can unexpectedly be misdiagnosed as depression and aging. Diagnostic tests include TSH blood tests. And thyroid hormone replacement can easily be cured.
02. Parkinson's disease → Alzheimer's, stroke, stress, traumatic head injury, essential progress
Parkinson's disease is a disease in which the dopaminergic neurons of the brain are destroyed. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that acts on the basal ganglia of the brain, allowing the body to move as precisely as desired. In Parkinson's disease, a lack of dopamine leads to impaired movement. Symptoms of this disease are hand, arm, leg or head tremors, stiff muscles, balance or walking problems. Doctors can be misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's, stroke, stress, traumatic head injuries. There are no tests that can confirm Parkinson's disease. The diagnosis is the most important diagnostic method. Parkinson 's syndrome, often called Parkinson' s cousin, is an important disease to distinguish from Parkinson 's disease. Parkinson - like syndrome includes progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple nervous system atrophy, vascular parkinsonism, and normal pressure hydrocephalus.
03. Fibromyalgia → rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome
Fibromyalgia is a disease that causes systemic pain, tenderness in several places, stiffness in the morning, fatigue and sleep disorders. It is a common disease of systemic muscular pain and fatigue. It means the pain of fibrous tissue such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It can occur in any age group but is common in the middle-aged between the ages of 30 and 50. Symptoms include anxiety or depression, increased sensitivity to pain, and fatigue. Doctors are unexpectedly misdiagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic fatigue and systemic pain accompanied by tenderness in body-specific areas can be diagnosed and distinguished from other illnesses in history and physical findings. If necessary, blood tests and thyroid function tests can be performed. Antinuclear antibodies, radiography and electromyography can be performed when there is specially suspicion.
• Globally, 200 million to 400 million people have fibromyalgia, which is 2 to 4 percent of the total population.
• 7 times more likely than men to be women.
• It takes an average of five years to get the correct fibromyalgia diagnosis.
04. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) → Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a disease that occurs mainly in the elderly people over 60 years old. The enlargement of the ventricle is a disease with dementia, gait disorder, urinary disorder (urinary incontinence). It most commonly occurs after head injury due to stroke or falls. In most cases, however, the cause is unknown. Doctors can be misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Diagnostic tests include brain scan, intracranial pressure monitoring, spinal tap or lumbar catheter, and neuropsychological tests. The disease is most common in aged people aged 70 to 75.
05. Multiple sclerosis (MS) → viral infection, Rufus, Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder
It is an inflammatory disease that leads to dehydration and scar formation due to damage to the surrounding parts of the locus around the axons of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include muscle cramps, lack of coordination, balance problems, blurred vision, and cognitive impairment. Doctors can be misdiagnosed as a viral infection, Rufus, Alzheimer's, or bipolar disorder. Diagnostic tests include MRI, spinal tapes, and induced latent tests that are used to detect MS in 90% of patients. These tests can indicate problems along the path of a particular nerve. Multiple sclerosis is generally diagnosed between the ages of 18 and 40. Children with MS are more likely to have seizures than adults (2 to 3%) (5%).
06. Celiac disease → irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis
Celiac disease is an allergic disease that occurs in the small intestine. It is caused by the susceptibility to gluten which inhibits absorption of nutrients in the intestines. Celiac disease is known to be inherited, is an autoimmune disease and can occur at any age. It usually appears as a start of ingestion of gluten from a 2-week-old infant to a 1-year-old infant, and rarely appears for the first time after becoming an adult. Symptoms include vomiting, abdominal pain and swelling, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and leg cramps. If the doctor is misdiagnosed, there are irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis. Diagnostic tests include antibody blood tests and intestinal biopsy. Approximately 3 million people in the United States are infected with celiac disease. Women are also two to three times more likely to get sick.
07. Heart attack → anxiety, indigestion
It is a serious emergency that suddenly blocks blood supply to the heart due to blood clotting. Symptoms include discomfort, pressure, heaviness or pain under the chest, arms, and chest bones, indigestion or choking sensation (you may feel heartburn), sweating, vomiting, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing. This can be misdiagnosed as anxiety and indigestion. The diagnostic test has an electrocardiogram. A blood test can check if there is a cardiac enzyme in your blood. These enzymes are usually found in the heart, but they are released into the bloodstream if they are damaged. Therefore, by measuring the levels of enzymes in the blood, your doctor can determine the size and origin of the heart attack.
