I think that is one problem when one becomes enlightened, they start
neglecting the body because they experience no attachment to it. I bet
quite a few here who have been meditating for years and have some degree
of enlightenment keep trying to remind themselves to look into some
medical problem even if it is just a toothache because they only
"witness" it and it is not as overwhelming as it would have been before
they were meditating.
