10. Your Feet are Always Cold

Since your feet are farther away from the heart than any other part of the body, any problems with your heart will show up as cold feet first. If you have been experiencing heart palpitations, shortness of breath, pain in your left arm, plus having cold feet all the time, you should see your doctor as soon as possible to rule out heart problems.

 

11. Pale or Dark Fingernails

You might be surprised how many health problems can show up in your fingernails. If your nails are suddenly looking very white, you could be anemic, which means your blood does not contain sufficient amounts of iron. White lines across the nails are also  signs of cardiovascular problems. Dark — almost brown — colored nailbed arcs are often the first sign of kidney disease or kidney failure. If you think your nails are too pale, or any other abnormal color, see your doctor.

 

12. Swollen Neck

Although sometimes your ankles and feet swell when you have been walking or sitting for long periods of time, and your arms and fingers can swell when they are exposed to high temperatures or overuse, your neck is one part of your body that should never swell. The lymph nodes under your jaw swell when you are fighting an infection. If they stay swollen for more than three or four days, you should see your doctor, as this is sometimes a sign of leukemia. If the front of your neck is swollen, you might have thyroid problems.
