List of medical symptoms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medical symptoms refer to the manifestations or indications of a disease or condition, perceived and complained about by the patient.[1][2] Patients observe these symptoms and seek medical advice from healthcare professionals.
Because most people are not diagnostically trained or knowledgeable, they typically describe their symptoms in layman's terms, rather than using specific medical terminology. This list is not exhaustive.
