Autoimmune Diseases: A Serious Health Concern For All 20-Somethings

When To Seek Help

Contact a doctor immediately if any unusual or unexplained symptoms occur. A physician will be able to determine what the cause is by performing certain tests. Tell a doctor if there is a family history of autoimmunity as this may increase the risk of developing a condition. A doctor should be able to advise how to avoid developing autoimmunity in the future, such as getting enough sleep at night, eating a healthy diet, avoiding smoking and excessive drinking, exercising regularity and finding healthy ways to deal with stress.
