Gun. there you go. and there s the camera. all right. i ll look into that, flipper. 24 minutes after the hour. we ve all had headaches or stomach aches, but the ailments we may consider to be minor could be signs something is far more serious with our health. here to reveal the five red flags we should not ignore is dr. kelly powers. first up, you say jaw pain. it s not something we ought to ignore because it could be a sign of a heart attack. absolutely. warning sign, huge red flag that your body is telling you. jaw pain, although it could be other things, related to dental pain or trauma, but if it comes with left arm pain or chest pain, don t ignore it. and family history plays a huge role. specifically, if it s moving around where you can t pinpoint where it is, and if it waxes and wanes. so strong and sharp, then dull. bring yourself to the er, get tested. okay. next up, morning headaches.
So we have it? you can have chest pain, arm pain, indigestion, just not feeling well, shortness of breath, getting sweaty. those kind of things. don t ignore those things even if you live a healthy lifestyle, sometimes you have bad genes. we can t pick our relatives. jenna: that s true. and get into the doctor sooner. that is the take-home. healthy lifestyle. jenna: cholesterol or otherwise. doctor, that would be whole another segment. right. jenna: nice to see you. important information for us today, dr. vinocur. thanks very much. thanks for having me. jon: police say a man apparently pretending to be a police officer may have killed, may have pulled over two drivers and shot them dead. new evidence just uncovered in the mississippi murders and now why the feds are getting involved.
