5 Health Signs to Look Out for in Your Partner

Jennifer Thompson

You love your partner, and you understandably want to make sure they are happy and healthy at all times. It’s important to be able to recognize early signs of health issues so that not only can you make sure they’re well, but if there are any issues, you can get early treatment. So, let’s take a look at some of the tell-tale signs that something might be wrong with your partner.

Change in sleep patterns

We all have sleepless nights from time to time, but a big and permanent change in your partner’s sleep patterns could be a sign of something underlying. If you notice your partner struggling with insomnia or notice that they’re more sleepy in the daytime, it’s important to take them to a Doctor for a check up. It could be something as stress from work, but it could also be sleep apnea or depression. The earlier you get a diagnosis, the sooner their sleep patterns can get back to normal.

Unexplained weight changes

If you’ve noticed your partner has lost or gained a lot of weight, it might be indicative of underlying health issues like depression, diabetes, or even thyroid problems. Weight changes can be a sensitive subject, so make sure you talk to your partner delicately and help them get an appointment to find out what’s wrong.

Signs of hearing loss

If your partner has been having the TV at an unusually loud volume or often mishears what you’re saying, they may be experiencing hearing loss. No matter what age you are, it’s important to get it checked out, as hearing loss can happen to anyone. Sit with your partner and explain the importance of routine hearing checks. Again, this can be a touchy subject, so make sure you explain that you’re concerned and want to help them regain their quality of life. 

Mood swings

We all have bad days that lead to a bad mood, but if you’re noticing that your partner has regular mood swings or even changes in their personality, it could be indicative of some underlying mental conditions. Make sure you’re supportive, and encourage them to get checked out as it could be depression, anxiety, or even a neurological condition like early Alzheimer's.

Skin changes

Finally, if you’ve noticed some skin changes, it’s important to encourage your partner to get them checked out as soon as possible. Look out for signs like:

•           New or enlarged moles

•           Unexplained rashes

•           Liver spots

•           Regular skin lesions

While there’s a good chance it’s nothing to worry about, there’s always a risk of skin cancer or other conditions which could affect their daily life. Eczema is also a common issue when we age. If this is the case, eczema cream can be applied to treat it.

While your partner is probably very capable of taking care of themselves, sometimes when it comes to your own health you overlook small details. However, by being vigilant, you can make sure they continue to lead a happy and healthy life. Remember that approaching your partner about your concerns should always be in a delicate manner to avoid embarrassment and arguments.
