A doctor has shared four important reasons why a person must visit their GP.
Doctor Amir Khan, a GP, said he would: “want to see someone who has had an unexplained cough, especially if they are a smoker”.
The doctor has also urged anyone over the age of 55 who has new unexplained symptoms of acid reflux to book an appointment, which is described by the NHS as “heartburn is a burning feeling in the chest caused by stomach acid travelling up towards the throat (acid reflux). If it keeps happening, it may be called gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)”
He also said that any woman who has been through menopause and not had a period for a year, but then has a bleed, should also call to make an appointment.
Then he urged people with a mole that is big or itchy to get in contact with your GP.
He said: “if a person has a mole that is new or has changed by getting bigger, feels itchy, bleeding or looks or feels different, a GP needs to see it.”
