En este libro, los doctores Christopher Kelly y Marc Eisenberg recorren las dolencias más frecuentes que solemos padecer, desde los dolores de cabeza hasta las náuseas, pasando por el estreñimiento y la presión en el pecho. Por el camino, nos ofrecen una completa guía con consejos para reconocer la gravedad de nuestros síntomas y saber hasta qué punto debemos preocuparnos: ¿qué hacer? ¿relajarnos, pedir cita a nuestro médico o irnos corriendo a Urgencias? ¿Saldré de esta, doctor? sustituye a la alarmante búsqueda en internet y se convierte, gracias a su tono sencillo y ameno, en un recurso básico para cualquier hogar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION As featured on CBS This Morning, The Dr. Oz Show, and Lifehacker. A comprehensive, light-hearted resource for the hypochondriac in all of us, from two Columbia University doctors who review dozens of symptoms and offer advice on when to chill out, make a doctor’s appointment, or go to the hospital. Cardiologists at Columbia University Medical Center, Christopher Kelly, MD, and Marc Eisenberg, MD, FACC, are both highly accomplished physicians and health experts. Though they treat people of all ages with diverse health concerns, the one question most patients really want to know is, “Am I dying?!” Most new symptoms turn out to be minor. Most likely, that stuffy nose isn’t a sign of cancer. But sometimes a headache isn’t just a temporary nuisance; it could be a sign of a serious condition. None of us wants to ignore a problem that could harm our health or even cause death. Though the internet offers a wealth of data, it can also be a source of harmful misinformation. So if you have a new symptom, how worried should you be? In Am I Dying?!, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Eisenberg walk you through the most common symptoms—from back pain, bloating, chest pain, constipation, and forgetfulness to fatigue, rashes, shortness of breath, and weakness— and provide helpful, conversational guidance on what to do. Organized in a humorous, easy-to-access format and packed with practical information and expert advice, Am I Dying?! is an essential resource every household needs.
