Malaise
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
A healthcare provider may want to know several things when a person complains of malaise, such as:
how long the person has had the feeling
whether it occurs every day or only some days
whether it is getting worse, better, or staying the same
whether the malaise seems more mental or physical in origin
whether the feeling came on slowly or happened suddenly
whether the person has been or currently feels sick
the number of hours of sleep the person gets every night
the amount of stress in the person's life
the amount of activity or exercise a person engages in
what the person's diet is like
Other symptoms may be important in determining the cause of the malaise. For instance, the provider may want to know about fever, weight loss, or pain.
