Disease: Yips
Symptoms: The most common symptom associated with the yips is an involuntary muscle jerk, although some people experience tremors, twitches, spasms or freezing. Causes In some people, the yips are a type of focal dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions during a specific task. It's most likely related to overuse of a certain set of muscles, similar to writer's cramp. Anxiety worsens the effect. Some athletes become so anxious and self-focused — overthinking to the point of distraction — that their ability to execute a skill, such as putting, is impaired. "Choking" is an extreme form of performance anxiety that may compromise a golfer's or any athlete's game. Risk factors The yips tend to be associated with:  Older age More experience playing golf Tournament play

Disease: Diarrhea
Symptoms: Signs and symptoms associated with diarrhea (loose, watery stools) may include:  Abdominal cramps or pain Bloating Nausea Vomiting Fever Blood in the stool Mucus in the stool Urgent need to have a bowel movement
Disease: Pneumonia
Symptoms: I've been feeling really unwell recently. I've had a high temperature, chills, a cough, and I've been struggling to breathe. I've also been sweating a lot and feeling really weak and tired. I've also had some thick, red phlegm.
Disease: Dwarfism
Symptoms: Signs and symptoms — other than short stature — vary considerably across the spectrum of disorders. Disproportionate dwarfism Most people with dwarfism have disorders that cause disproportionately short stature. Usually, this means that a person has an average-size trunk and very short limbs, but some people may have a very short trunk and shortened (but disproportionately large) limbs. In these disorders, the head is disproportionately large compared with the body. Almost all people with disproportionate dwarfism have normal intellectual capacities. Rare exceptions are usually the result of a secondary factor, such as excess fluid around the brain (hydrocephalus). The most common cause of dwarfism is a disorder called achondroplasia, which causes disproportionately short stature. This disorder usually results in the following:  An average-size trunk Short arms and legs, with particularly short upper arms and upper legs Short fingers, often with a wide separation between the middle and ring fingers Limited mobility at the elbows A disproportionately large head, with a prominent forehead and a flattened bridge of the nose Progressive development of bowed legs Progressive development of swayed lower back An adult height around 4 feet (122 cm)  Another cause of disproportionate dwarfism is a rare disorder called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC). Signs may include:  A very short trunk A short neck Shortened arms and legs Average-size hands and feet Broad, rounded chest Slightly flattened cheekbones Opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate) Hip deformities that result in thighbones turning inward A foot that's twisted or out of shape Instability of the neck bones Progressive hunching curvature of the upper spine Progressive development of swayed lower back Vision and hearing problems Arthritis and problems with joint movement Adult height ranging from 3 feet (91 cm) to just over 4 feet (122 cm)  Proportionate dwarfism Proportionate dwarfism results from medical conditions present at birth or appearing in early childhood that limit overall growth and development. So the head, trunk and limbs are all small, but they're proportionate to each other. Because these disorders affect overall growth, many of them result in poor development of one or more body systems. Growth hormone deficiency is a relatively common cause of proportionate dwarfism. It occurs when the pituitary gland fails to produce an adequate supply of growth hormone, which is essential for normal childhood growth. Signs include:  Height below the third percentile on standard pediatric growth charts Growth rate slower than expected for age Delayed or no sexual development during the teen years
Disease: Tetanus
Symptoms: The average time from infection to appearance of signs and symptoms (incubation period) is 10 days. The incubation period can range from 3 to 21 days. The most common type of tetanus is called generalized tetanus. Signs and symptoms begin gradually and then progressively worsen over two weeks. They usually start at the jaw and progress downward on the body. Signs and symptoms of generalized tetanus include:  Painful muscle spasms and stiff, immovable muscles (muscle rigidity) in your jaw Tension of muscles around your lips, sometimes producing a persistent grin Painful spasms and rigidity in your neck muscles Difficulty swallowing Rigid abdominal muscles  Progression of tetanus results in repeated painful, seizure-like spasms that last for several minutes (generalized spasms). Usually, the neck and back arch, the legs become rigid, the arms are drawn up to the body, and the fists are clenched. Muscle rigidity in the neck and abdomen may cause breathing difficulties. These severe spasms may be triggered by minor events that stimulate the senses — a loud sound, a physical touch, a draft or light. As the disease progresses, other signs and symptoms may include:  High blood pressure Low blood pressure Rapid heart rate Fever Extreme sweating  Localized tetanus This uncommon form of tetanus results in muscles spasms near the site of a wound. While it's usually a less severe form of disease, it can progress to generalized tetanus. Cephalic tetanus This rare form of tetanus results from a head wound. It results in weakened muscles in the face and spasms of the jaw muscles. It also can progress to generalized tetanus.
Disease: Seborrheic Dermatitis
Symptoms: Seborrheic dermatitis signs and symptoms may include:  Flaking skin (dandruff) on your scalp, hair, eyebrows, beard or mustache Patches of greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales or crust on the scalp, face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids, chest, armpits, groin area or under the breasts Rash that may look darker or lighter in people with brown or Black skin and redder in those with white skin Ring-shaped (annular) rash, for a type called petaloid seborrheic dermatitis Itchiness (pruritus)  The signs and symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis tend to flare with stress, fatigue or a change of season.
Disease: Esthesioneuroblastoma
Symptoms: Esthesioneuroblastoma symptoms include:  Losing the sense of smell Frequent nosebleeds Difficulty breathing through the nose  As it grows, the cancer may cause eye pain, loss of vision, ear pain and headaches.
Disease: Jaundice
Symptoms: I have been feeling very sick. I have been vomiting, I have a fever, and I have been itching all over. My skin has turned yellow, and my urine is dark. I have also been having abdominal pain.
Disease: Wrist Pain
Symptoms: Wrist pain may vary, depending on the cause. For example, osteoarthritis pain often is described as being similar to a dull toothache. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually causes a pins-and-needles feeling. This tingling sensation usually occurs in the thumb and index and middle fingers, especially at night. The precise location of wrist pain also provides clues to what's behind the symptoms.
Disease: Jaundice
Symptoms: I have been feeling very sick lately. I have been having severe itching, vomiting, and fatigue. I have also lost weight and have a high fever. My skin has turned yellow and my urine is dark. I am also experiencing abdominal pain.
Disease: Flatfeet
Symptoms: Most people have no symptoms associated with flatfeet. But some people with flatfeet experience foot pain, particularly in the heel or arch area. Pain may worsen with activity. Swelling may occur along the inside of the ankle.
Disease: Hepatopulmonary Syndrome
Symptoms: Most people with hepatopulmonary syndrome have no symptoms. If symptoms occur, they may include:  Shortness of breath, especially when sitting or standing Clubbing of the fingers, in which the fingertips spread out and become rounder than normal Broken blood vessels under the skin (spider angioma) Bluish tinge of the lips and skin (cyanosis)  Causes Hepatopulmonary syndrome is caused when blood vessels in and around the lungs widen (dilate), which affects the amount of oxygen that moves from the lungs into the bloodstream. What causes this abnormality remains unclear, and it's unknown why some people with liver disease develop hepatopulmonary syndrome while others do not.

Disease: Pneumonia
Symptoms: The signs and symptoms of pneumonia vary from mild to severe, depending on factors such as the type of germ causing the infection, and your age and overall health. Mild signs and symptoms often are similar to those of a cold or flu, but they last longer. Signs and symptoms of pneumonia may include:  Chest pain when you breathe or cough Confusion or changes in mental awareness (in adults age 65 and older) Cough, which may produce phlegm Fatigue Fever, sweating and shaking chills Lower than normal body temperature (in adults older than age 65 and people with weak immune systems) Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea Shortness of breath  Newborns and infants may not show any sign of the infection. Or they may vomit, have a fever and cough, appear restless or tired and without energy, or have difficulty breathing and eating. When to see a doctor See your doctor if you have difficulty breathing, chest pain, persistent fever of 102 F (39 C) or higher, or persistent cough, especially if you're coughing up pus. It's especially important that people in these high-risk groups see a doctor:  Adults older than age 65 Children younger than age 2 with signs and symptoms People with an underlying health condition or weakened immune system People receiving chemotherapy or taking medication that suppresses the immune system  For some older adults and people with heart failure or chronic lung problems, pneumonia can quickly become a life-threatening condition.

Disease: Panic Attacks
Symptoms: Panic attacks typically begin suddenly, without warning. They can strike at any time — when you're driving a car, at the mall, sound asleep or in the middle of a business meeting. You may have occasional panic attacks, or they may occur frequently. Panic attacks have many variations, but symptoms usually peak within minutes. You may feel fatigued and worn out after a panic attack subsides. Panic attacks typically include some of these signs or symptoms:  Sense of impending doom or danger Fear of loss of control or death Rapid, pounding heart rate Sweating Trembling or shaking Shortness of breath or tightness in your throat Chills Hot flashes Nausea Abdominal cramping Chest pain Headache Dizziness, lightheadedness or faintness Numbness or tingling sensation Feeling of unreality or detachment  One of the worst things about panic attacks is the intense fear that you'll have another one. You may fear having panic attacks so much that you avoid certain situations where they may occur.
Disease: Urinary Tract Infection
Symptoms: I've been having blood in my urine. I also feel sick after I pee, and I've been running a fever.
Disease: Restless Legs Syndrome
Symptoms: The chief symptom is an urge to move the legs. Common accompanying characteristics of RLS include: RLS  Sensations that begin while resting. The sensation typically begins after you've been lying down or sitting for an extended time, such as in a car, airplane or movie theater. Relief with movement. The sensation of RLS lessens with movement, such as stretching, jiggling the legs, pacing or walking. Worsening of symptoms in the evening. Symptoms occur mainly at night. Nighttime leg twitching. RLS may be associated with another, more common condition called periodic limb movement of sleep, which causes the legs to twitch and kick, possibly throughout the night, while you sleep.  People typically describe RLS symptoms as compelling, unpleasant sensations in the legs or feet. They usually happen on both sides of the body. Less commonly, the sensations affect the arms. RLS The sensations, which generally occur within the limb rather than on the skin, are described as:  Crawling Creeping Pulling Throbbing Aching Itching Electric  Sometimes the sensations are difficult to explain. People with RLS usually don't describe the condition as a muscle cramp or numbness. They do, however, consistently describe the desire to move the legs. RLS It's common for symptoms to fluctuate in severity. Sometimes, symptoms disappear for periods of time, then come back.
Disease: Gangrene
Symptoms: When gangrene affects the skin, signs and symptoms may include:  Changes in skin color — ranging from pale gray to blue, purple, black, bronze or red Swelling Blisters Sudden, severe pain followed by a feeling of numbness A foul-smelling discharge leaking from a sore Thin, shiny skin, or skin without hair Skin that feels cool or cold to the touch  If gangrene affects tissues beneath the surface of your skin, such as gas gangrene or internal gangrene, you may also have a low-grade fever and generally feel unwell. If the germs that caused the gangrene spread through the body, a condition called septic shock can occur. Signs and symptoms of septic shock include:  Low blood pressure Fever, although some people may have a body temperature lower than 98.6 F (37 C) Rapid heart rate Lightheadedness Shortness of breath Confusion
Disease: Diabetes
Symptoms: I'm having trouble breathing, especially when I exercise. I'm sweating and flushed a lot, and I've been getting yeast infections a lot.
Disease: Impetigo
Symptoms: I have a rash on my face and near my nose. It's been there for a few days and it's starting to spread down my arms and legs.
Disease: Guillain Barre Syndrome
Symptoms: Guillain-Barre syndrome often begins with tingling and weakness starting in your feet and legs and spreading to your upper body and arms. Some people notice the first symptoms in the arms or face. As Guillain-Barre syndrome progresses, muscle weakness can turn into paralysis. Signs and symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome may include:  A pins and needles sensation in your fingers, toes, ankles or wrists Weakness in your legs that spreads to your upper body Unsteady walking or inability to walk or climb stairs Difficulty with facial movements, including speaking, chewing or swallowing Double vision or inability to move the eyes Severe pain that may feel achy, shooting or cramplike and may be worse at night Difficulty with bladder control or bowel function Rapid heart rate Low or high blood pressure Difficulty breathing  People with Guillain-Barre syndrome usually experience their most significant weakness within two weeks after symptoms begin. Types Guillain-Barre syndrome has several forms. The main types are:  Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP), the most common form in North America and Europe. The most common sign of AIDP is muscle weakness that starts in the lower part of your body and spreads upward. Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), in which paralysis starts in the eyes. MFS is also associated with unsteady gait. MFS is less common in the U.S. but more common in Asia. Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) and acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) are less common in the U.S. But AMAN and AMSAN are more frequent in China, Japan and Mexico.
Disease: Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Symptoms: The first sign of Merkel cell carcinoma is usually a fast-growing, painless nodule (tumor) on your skin. The nodule may be skin-colored or may appear in shades of red, blue or purple. Most Merkel cell carcinomas appear on the face, head or neck, but they can develop anywhere on your body, even on areas not exposed to sunlight.
