Common Health Issues symptoms

Everyday symptoms that can have many causes and may need a general medical check.

• Dizziness Dizziness can mean feeling light-headed, unsteady, faint or like the room is spinning. It can come from dehydration, inner ear problems, low blood pressure, heart rhythm issues, stroke-like problems or anxiety, so red flags matter.
• Fever Fever means the body temperature is higher than usual. It is often linked to infection, but it can also happen with heat illness or inflammation, so a clinician may need to check the cause.
• Headache Headache is pain or pressure in any part of the head, face or neck. Most headaches are not dangerous, but sudden severe headache or headache with neurological symptoms needs urgent care.
• Migraine Migraine is commonly used for repeated headaches that may come with nausea, light sensitivity or sound sensitivity. Similar symptoms can happen for other reasons, so new, severe or changing headaches should be checked.
• Sore throat A sore throat is pain, scratchiness or irritation in the throat, often worse when swallowing. It is commonly linked with viral infection, allergies, smoke or tonsil problems, but breathing or swallowing difficulty needs urgent care.
