The most common sign of alcoholic hepatitis is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice). Other signs and symptoms include: Loss of appetite Nausea and vomiting Abdominal tenderness Fever, often low grade Fatigue and weakness Malnutrition is common in people with alcoholic hepatitis. Drinking large amounts of alcohol suppresses the appetite, and heavy drinkers get most of their calories from alcohol. Additional signs and symptoms that occur with severe alcoholic hepatitis include: Fluid accumulation in your abdomen (ascites) Confusion and behavior changes due to a buildup of toxins normally broken down and eliminated by the liver Kidney and liver failure

One of the most common signs of primary immunodeficiency is having infections that are more frequent, longer lasting or harder to treat than are the infections of someone with a typical immune system. You may also get infections that a person with a healthy immune system likely wouldn't get (opportunistic infections). Signs and symptoms differ depending on the type of primary immunodeficiency disorder, and they vary from person to person. Signs and symptoms of primary immunodeficiency can include: Frequent and recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, ear infections, meningitis or skin infections Inflammation and infection of internal organs Blood disorders, such as low platelet count or anemia Digestive problems, such as cramping, loss of appetite, nausea and diarrhea Delayed growth and development Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or type 1 diabetes

Signs and symptoms of cataracts include: Clouded, blurred or dim vision Increasing difficulty with vision at night Sensitivity to light and glare Need for brighter light for reading and other activities Seeing "halos" around lights Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription Fading or yellowing of colors Double vision in a single eye At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye's lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens and distorts the light passing through the lens. This may lead to more-noticeable symptoms.

Vocal cords open and closed Vocal cords open when you breathe and then close to produce sound when vibrating together. Vocal cords open when you breathe and then close to produce sound when vibrating together. Your vocal cords are two flexible bands of muscle tissue that sit at the entrance to the windpipe (trachea). When you speak, the bands come together and vibrate to make sound. The rest of the time, the vocal cords are relaxed in an open position so that you can breathe. In most cases of vocal cord paralysis, only one vocal cord is paralyzed. Paralysis of both of your vocal cords is a rare but serious condition. This can cause difficulties with speech and significant problems with breathing and swallowing. Signs and symptoms of vocal cord paralysis may include: A breathy quality to the voice Hoarseness Noisy breathing Shortness of breath Loss of vocal pitch Choking or coughing while swallowing food, drink or saliva The need to take frequent breaths while speaking Inability to speak loudly Loss of your gag reflex Ineffective coughing Frequent throat clearing

If you have schizoid personality disorder, it's likely that you: Prefer being alone and choose to do activities alone Don't want or enjoy close relationships Feel little if any desire for sexual relationships Feel like you can't experience pleasure Have difficulty expressing emotions and reacting appropriately to situations May seem humorless, indifferent or emotionally cold to others May appear to lack motivation and goals Don't react to praise or critical remarks from others Schizoid personality disorder usually begins by early adulthood, though some features may be noticeable during childhood. These features may cause you to have trouble functioning well in school, a job, socially or in other areas of life. However, you may do reasonably well in your job if you mostly work alone. Schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia Although a different disorder, schizoid personality disorder can have some similar symptoms to schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia, such as a severely limited ability to make social connections and a lack of emotional expression. People with these disorders may be viewed as odd or eccentric. Even though the names may sound similar, unlike schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia, people with schizoid personality disorder: Are in touch with reality, so they're unlikely to experience paranoia or hallucinations Make sense when they speak (although the tone may not be lively), so they don't have conversational patterns that are strange and hard to follow When to see a doctor People with schizoid personality disorder usually only seek treatment for a related problem, such as depression. If someone close to you has urged you to seek help for symptoms common to schizoid personality disorder, make an appointment with a health care or mental health professional. If you suspect a loved one may have schizoid personality disorder, gently suggest that the person seek medical attention. It might help to offer to go along to the first appointment.

Lipomas can occur anywhere in the body. They are typically: Situated just under the skin. They commonly occur in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms and thighs. Soft and doughy to the touch. They also move easily with slight finger pressure. Generally small. Lipomas are typically less than 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter, but they can grow. Sometimes painful. Lipomas can be painful if they grow and press on nearby nerves or if they contain many blood vessels.

Common signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis include: Nasal inflammation Thick, discolored discharge from the nose (runny nose) Drainage down the back of the throat (postnasal drainage) Blocked or stuffy (congested) nose causing difficulty breathing through your nose Pain, tenderness and swelling around your eyes, cheeks, nose or forehead Reduced sense of smell and taste Other signs and symptoms can include: Ear pain Headache Aching in your upper jaw and teeth Cough or throat clearing Sore throat Bad breath Fatigue Chronic sinusitis and acute sinusitis have similar signs and symptoms. But acute sinusitis is a temporary infection of the sinuses often associated with a cold. The signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis last at least 12 weeks, but you may have several episodes of acute sinusitis before developing chronic sinusitis. Fever isn't a common sign of chronic sinusitis, but you might have one with acute sinusitis.

The itchy blister rash caused by chickenpox infection appears 10 to 21 days after exposure to the virus and usually lasts about five to 10 days. Other signs and symptoms, which may appear one to two days before the rash, include: Fever Loss of appetite Headache Tiredness and a general feeling of being unwell (malaise) Once the chickenpox rash appears, it goes through three phases: Raised pink or red bumps (papules), which break out over several days Small fluid-filled blisters (vesicles), which form in about one day and then break and leak Crusts and scabs, which cover the broken blisters and take several more days to heal New bumps continue to appear for several days, so you may have all three stages of the rash — bumps, blisters and scabbed lesions — at the same time. You can spread the virus to other people for up to 48 hours before the rash appears, and the virus remains contagious until all broken blisters have crusted over. The disease is generally mild in healthy children. In severe cases, the rash can cover the entire body, and lesions may form in the throat, eyes, and mucous membranes of the urethra, anus and vagina.

Actinic keratoses vary in appearance. Symptoms include: Rough, dry or scaly patch of skin, usually less than 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter Flat to slightly raised patch or bump on the top layer of skin In some cases, a hard, wartlike surface Color variations, including pink, red or brown Itching, burning, bleeding or crusting New patches or bumps on sun-exposed areas of the head, neck, hands and forearms

Signs and symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus infection most commonly appear about four to six days after exposure to the virus. In adults and older children, RSV usually causes mild cold-like signs and symptoms. These may include: RSV Congested or runny nose Dry cough Low-grade fever Sore throat Sneezing Headache In severe cases RSV infection can spread to the lower respiratory tract, causing pneumonia or bronchiolitis — inflammation of the small airway passages entering the lungs. Signs and symptoms may include: RSV Fever Severe cough Wheezing — a high-pitched noise that's usually heard on breathing out (exhaling) Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing — the person may prefer to sit up rather than lie down Bluish color of the skin due to lack of oxygen (cyanosis) Infants are most severely affected by RSV. Signs and symptoms of severe RSV infection in infants include: RSV RSV Short, shallow and rapid breathing Struggling to breathe — chest muscles and skin pull inward with each breath Cough Poor feeding Unusual tiredness (lethargy) Irritability Most children and adults recover in one to two weeks, although some might have repeated wheezing. Severe or life-threatening infection requiring a hospital stay may occur in premature infants or in anyone who has chronic heart or lung problems. RSV and COVID-19 Because RSV and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are both types of respiratory viruses, some symptoms of RSV and COVID-19 can be similar. In children, COVID-19 often results in mild symptoms such as fever, runny nose and cough. For adults with COVID-19, symptoms may be more severe and may include trouble breathing. RSV RSV COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19 Having RSV may lower immunity and increase the risk of getting COVID-19 — for kids and adults. And these infections may occur together, which can worsen the severity of COVID-19 illness. RSV COVID-19 COVID-19 If you have symptoms of a respiratory illness, your doctor may recommend testing for COVID-19.

Cystitis signs and symptoms may include: A strong, persistent urge to urinate Pain or a burning feeling when urinating Passing frequent, small amounts of urine Blood in the urine (hematuria) Passing cloudy or strong-smelling urine Pelvic discomfort A feeling of pressure in the area below your belly button (abdomen) Low-grade fever In young children, new episodes of accidental daytime wetting also may be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Nighttime bed-wetting on its own isn't likely to happen because of a UTI.

Signs and symptoms of prostatitis can vary depending on the type of disorder. They may include: Pain or burning sensation when urinating (dysuria) Difficulty urinating, such as dribbling or hesitant urination Frequent urination, particularly at night (nocturia) Urgent need to urinate Cloudy urine Blood in the urine Pain in the abdomen, groin or lower back Pain in the area between the scrotum and rectum (perineum) Pain or discomfort of the penis or testicles Painful ejaculation Fever, chills, muscle aches and other flu-like symptoms (with acute bacterial prostatitis)

Vaginal agenesis often goes unnoticed until females reach their teens, but don't menstruate (amenorrhea). Other signs of puberty usually follow typical female development. Vaginal agenesis may have these features: The genitals look like a typical female. The vagina may be shortened without a cervix at the end, or absent and marked only by a slight indentation where a vaginal opening would typically be located. There may be no uterus or one that's only partially developed. If there's tissue lining the uterus (endometrium), monthly cramping or chronic abdominal pain may occur. The ovaries typically are fully developed and functional, but they may be in an unusual location in the abdomen. Sometimes the pair of tubes that eggs travel through to get from the ovaries to the uterus (fallopian tubes) are absent or do not develop typically. Vaginal agenesis may also be associated with other issues, such as: Problems with development of the kidneys and urinary tract Developmental changes in the bones of the spine, ribs and wrists Hearing problems Other congenital conditions that also involve the heart, gastrointestinal tract and limb growth

Chest pain can feel different depending on what's triggering the symptom. Often, the cause has nothing to do with the heart — though there's no easy way to tell without seeing a health care provider. Heart-related chest pain Chest pain is often associated with heart disease. But many people with heart disease say they have a mild discomfort that they wouldn't really call pain. Chest discomfort due to a heart attack or another heart problem may feel like: Pressure, fullness, burning or tightness in the chest. Crushing or searing pain that spreads to the back, neck, jaw, shoulders, and one or both arms. Pain that lasts more than a few minutes, gets worse with activity, goes away and comes back, or varies in intensity. Shortness of breath. Cold sweats. Dizziness, lightheadedness or weakness. Racing heartbeats. Nausea or vomiting. Other types of chest pain It can be difficult to tell if chest pain is related to the heart or caused by something else. Usually, chest pain is less likely due to a heart problem if it happens with: A sour taste or a sensation of food reentering the mouth Trouble swallowing Pain that gets better or worse when you change body position Pain that gets worse when you breathe deeply or cough Tenderness when you push on your chest Pain that continues for many hours The classic symptoms of heartburn — a painful, burning sensation behind the breastbone — can be caused by problems with the heart or the stomach.

In mild cases of anterior prolapse, you may not notice any signs or symptoms. When signs and symptoms occur, they may include: A feeling of fullness or pressure in your pelvis and vagina In some cases, a bulge of tissue in your vagina that you can see or feel Increased pelvic pressure when you strain, cough, bear down or lift Problems urinating, including difficulty starting a urine stream, the feeling that you haven't completely emptied your bladder after urinating, feeling a frequent need to urinate or leaking urine (urinary incontinence) Signs and symptoms often are especially noticeable after standing for long periods of time and may go away when you lie down.

Some men with delayed ejaculation need 30 minutes or more of sexual stimulation to have an orgasm and ejaculate. Other men might not be able to ejaculate at all (anejaculation). But, there's no specific time that indicates a diagnosis of delayed ejaculation. Instead, you are probably experiencing delayed ejaculation if the delay is causing distress or frustration, or if you have to stop sexual activity due to fatigue, physical irritation, loss of erection or a request from your partner. Often, men might have difficulty reaching orgasm during sexual intercourse or other sexual activities with a partner. Some men can ejaculate only when masturbating. Delayed ejaculation is divided into the following types based on symptoms: Lifelong vs. acquired. With lifelong delayed ejaculation, the problem is present from the time of sexual maturity. Acquired delayed ejaculation occurs after a period of normal sexual functioning. Generalized vs. situational. Generalized delayed ejaculation isn't limited to certain sex partners or certain kinds of stimulation. Situational delayed ejaculation occurs only under certain circumstances. These categories help in diagnosing an underlying cause and determining what might be the most effective treatment.

A child who's being abused may feel guilty, ashamed or confused. The child may be afraid to tell anyone about the abuse, especially if the abuser is a parent, other relative or family friend. That's why it's vital to watch for red flags, such as: Withdrawal from friends or usual activities Changes in behavior — such as aggression, anger, hostility or hyperactivity — or changes in school performance Depression, anxiety or unusual fears, or a sudden loss of self-confidence Sleep problems and nightmares An apparent lack of supervision Frequent absences from school Rebellious or defiant behavior Self-harm or attempts at suicide Specific signs and symptoms depend on the type of abuse and can vary. Keep in mind that warning signs are just that — warning signs. The presence of warning signs doesn't necessarily mean that a child is being abused. Physical abuse signs and symptoms Unexplained injuries, such as bruises, broken bones (fractures) or burns Injuries that don't match the given explanation Injuries that aren't compatible with the child's developmental ability Sexual abuse signs and symptoms Sexual behavior or knowledge that's inappropriate for the child's age Pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection Genital or anal pain, bleeding, or injury Statements by the child that he or she was sexually abused Inappropriate sexual behavior with other children Emotional abuse signs and symptoms Delayed or inappropriate emotional development Loss of self-confidence or self-esteem Social withdrawal or a loss of interest or enthusiasm Depression Avoidance of certain situations, such as refusing to go to school or ride the bus Appears to desperately seek affection A decrease in school performance or loss of interest in school Loss of previously acquired developmental skills Neglect signs and symptoms Poor growth Excessive weight with medical complications that are not being adequately addressed Poor personal cleanliness Lack of clothing or supplies to meet physical needs Hoarding or stealing food Poor record of school attendance Lack of appropriate attention for medical, dental or psychological problems or lack of necessary follow-up care Parental behavior Sometimes a parent's demeanor or behavior sends red flags about child abuse. Warning signs include a parent who: Shows little concern for the child Appears unable to recognize physical or emotional distress in the child Blames the child for the problems Consistently belittles or berates the child, and describes the child with negative terms, such as "worthless" or "evil" Expects the child to provide attention and care to the parent and seems jealous of other family members getting attention from the child Uses harsh physical discipline Demands an inappropriate level of physical or academic performance Severely limits the child's contact with others Offers conflicting or unconvincing explanations for a child's injuries or no explanation at all Repeatedly brings the child for medical evaluations or requests medical tests, such as X-rays and lab tests, for concerns not seen during the health care provider's examination Physical punishment Child health experts condemn the use of violence in any form, but some people still use physical punishment, such as spanking, to discipline their children. While parents and caregivers often use physical punishment with the intention of helping their children or making their behavior better, research shows that spanking is linked with worse, not better, behavior. It's also linked to mental health problems, difficult relationships with parents, lower self-esteem and lower academic performance. Any physical punishment may leave emotional scars. Parental behaviors that cause pain, physical injury or emotional trauma — even when done in the name of discipline — could be child abuse.

Damage to the protective myelin covering the nerves results in progressive worsening of brain and nervous system functions, including: Loss of the ability to detect sensations, such as touch, pain, heat and sound Loss of intellectual, thinking and memory skills Loss of motor skills, such as walking, moving, speaking and swallowing Stiff, rigid muscles, poor muscle function and paralysis Loss of bladder and bowel function Gallbladder problems Blindness Hearing loss Seizures Emotional and behavioral problems, including unstable emotions and substance misuse Each form of metachromatic leukodystrophy occurs at a different age and can have different initial signs and symptoms and rates of progression: Late infantile form. This is the most common form of metachromatic leukodystrophy, starting around 2 years of age or younger. Progressive loss of speech and muscle function occurs rapidly. Children with this form often do not survive beyond childhood. Juvenile form. This is the second most common form and starts in children between 3 and 16 years of age. Early signs are behavior and cognitive problems and increasing difficulty in school. Loss of the ability to walk may occur. Although the juvenile form doesn't progress as fast as the late infantile form, survival is generally less than 20 years after symptoms begin. Adult form. This form is less common and typically starts after age 16. Signs progress slowly and may begin with behavior and psychiatric problems, drug and alcohol misuse, and issues with school and work. Psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations may occur. The course of this form varies, with periods of stable symptoms and periods of rapid decline in functioning. Adults may survive for several decades after initial symptoms.

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: A persistent change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely Weakness or fatigue Unexplained weight loss Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine.

Signs and symptoms of mesothelioma vary depending on where the cancer occurs. Pleural mesothelioma, which affects the tissue that surrounds the lungs, causes signs and symptoms that may include: Pleural mesothelioma Chest pain Painful coughing Shortness of breath Unusual lumps of tissue under the skin on your chest Unexplained weight loss Peritoneal mesothelioma, which occurs in tissue in the abdomen, causes signs and symptoms that may include: Peritoneal mesothelioma Abdominal pain Abdominal swelling Nausea Unexplained weight loss Other forms of mesothelioma Signs and symptoms of other types of mesothelioma are unclear, since these forms of the disease are very rare. Pericardial mesothelioma, which affects tissue that surrounds the heart, can cause signs and symptoms such as breathing difficulty and chest pains. Mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis, which affects tissue surrounding the testicles, may be first detected as swelling or a mass on a testicle.

The cause of this condition is unknown, but it primarily affects older women. Hair loss can appear in many different ways, depending on what's causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually and affect just your scalp or your whole body. Signs and symptoms of hair loss may include: Gradual thinning on top of head. This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting people as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede at the hairline on the forehead. Women typically have a broadening of the part in their hair. An increasingly common hair loss pattern in older women is a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia). Circular or patchy bald spots. Some people lose hair in circular or patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out. Sudden loosening of hair. A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing or washing your hair or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning but is temporary. Full-body hair loss. Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in the loss of hair all over your body. The hair usually grows back. Patches of scaling that spread over the scalp. This is a sign of ringworm. It may be accompanied by broken hair, redness, swelling and, at times, oozing.

Signs and symptoms of bruxism may include: Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to wake up your sleep partner Teeth that are flattened, fractured, chipped or loose Worn tooth enamel, exposing deeper layers of your tooth Increased tooth pain or sensitivity Tired or tight jaw muscles, or a locked jaw that won't open or close completely Jaw, neck or face pain or soreness Pain that feels like an earache, though it's actually not a problem with your ear Dull headache starting in the temples Damage from chewing on the inside of your cheek Sleep disruption When to see a doctor See your dentist or doctor if you have any of the symptoms listed above or have other concerns about your teeth or jaw. If you notice that your child is grinding his or her teeth — or has other signs or symptoms of bruxism — be sure to mention it at your child's next dental appointment.

Testicles form in the abdomen during fetal development. During the final months of development, the testicles gradually descend into the scrotum. If this descent isn't completed at birth, the testicle usually descends within a few months. If your son has a retractile testicle, the testicle originally descended as it should, but doesn't remain in place. Signs and symptoms of a retractile testicle include: The testicle may be moved by hand from the groin into the scrotum and won't immediately retreat to the groin. The testicle might spontaneously appear in the scrotum and remain there for a time. The testicle might spontaneously disappear again for a time. Retractile testicle is different from undescended testicle (cryptorchidism). An undescended testicle is one that never entered the scrotum.

Symptoms vary based on the type of seizure. They also can range from mild to severe. Seizure symptoms may include: Temporary confusion. A staring spell. Jerking movements of the arms and legs that can't be controlled. Loss of consciousness or awareness. Cognitive or emotional changes. They may include fear, anxiety or a feeling that you've already lived this moment, known as deja vu. Health care providers typically classify seizures as focal or generalized. Seizures are classified based on how and where the brain activity causing the seizure began. If providers don't know how the seizures began, they may classify the seizures as unknown onset. Focal seizures Focal seizures result from electrical activity in one area of the brain. This type of seizure can occur with or without loss of consciousness: Focal seizures with impaired awareness. These seizures involve a change or loss of consciousness or awareness that feels like being in a dream. People having these types of seizures may seem awake but they stare into space and don't respond to their environment. They may perform repetitive movements such as hand rubbing, mouth movements, repeating certain words or walking in circles. They may not remember the seizure or even know that it occurred. Focal seizures without impaired awareness. These seizures may alter emotions. They also may change the way things look, smell, feel, taste or sound. But the seizures don't cause a loss of consciousness. During these types of seizures, people may suddenly feel angry, joyful or sad. Some people have nausea or unusual feelings that are hard to describe. These seizures may result in trouble speaking and involuntary jerking of a body part such as an arm or a leg. They also may cause sudden sensory symptoms such as tingling, dizziness and seeing flashing lights. Symptoms of focal seizures may be confused with other disorders of the brain or nervous system. They include migraine, narcolepsy or mental illness. Generalized seizures Seizures that appear to involve all areas of the brain from the time they start are called generalized seizures. Different types of generalized seizures include: Absence seizures. Absence seizures, formerly known as petit mal seizures, often occur in children. Absence seizures typically cause a person to stare into space or make subtle body movements such as eye blinking or lip smacking. They usually last for 5 to 10 seconds. These seizures may happen up to hundreds of times a day. They may occur in clusters and can cause a brief loss of awareness. Tonic seizures. Tonic seizures cause stiffening of the muscles. These seizures usually affect muscles in the back, arms and legs. People who experience these seizures may lose consciousness and fall to the ground. Atonic seizures. Atonic seizures, also known as drop seizures, cause a loss of muscle control. People having this type of seizure may suddenly fall down or drop their head. Clonic seizures. Clonic seizures are associated with repeated jerking muscle movements. These seizures usually affect the neck, face and arms on both sides of the body. Myoclonic seizures. Myoclonic seizures usually appear as sudden brief jerks or twitches of the arms and legs. There is often no loss of consciousness. Tonic-clonic seizures. Tonic-clonic seizures, previously known as grand mal seizures, are the most dramatic type of epileptic seizure. They can cause a sudden loss of consciousness, body stiffening and shaking. They sometimes cause people to lose control of their bladder or to bite their tongue. They may last for several minutes. Tonic-clonic seizures also may start as focal seizures that then spread to involve most or all of the brain.

Churg-Strauss syndrome varies greatly from person to person. Some people have only mild symptoms. Others have severe or life-threatening complications. Also known as EGPA, the syndrome tends to occur in three stages and gets progressively worse. Almost everyone with the condition has asthma, chronic sinusitis and elevated counts of white blood cells called eosinophils. Other signs and symptoms might include: Loss of appetite and weight loss Joint and muscle pain Abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding Weakness, fatigue or a general feeling of being unwell Rash or skin sores Pain, numbness, and tingling in your hands and feet

Breast tissue normally might feel lumpy or ropy and you may have tenderness that comes and goes with your menstrual period. If you have an underlying breast condition, you might notice changes in how your breasts normally feel, such as: A round, smooth and firm breast lump A large, solid-feeling lump that moves easily under your skin A hard, irregular-shaped breast lump Skin redness or dimpling like an orange Changes in breast size or shape Fluid leaking from your nipple Causes Breast lumps can result from: Breast cysts. If you find a breast lump that feels round, smooth and firm, it could be a cyst — a dilated milk duct filled with fluid. A breast cyst can be large or small, and the surrounding breast tissue may be tender. A breast cyst may appear before your menstrual period and get smaller or disappear afterward. Fibrocystic breast changes. With fibrocystic breast changes, you may feel fullness in your breasts with areas of lumpiness or ridgelike areas. Your breasts may feel tender. Many women experience fibrocystic breast changes related to their menstrual cycles that tend to improve after the menstrual cycle. Fibroadenomas. Fibroadenomas are solid, noncancerous breast tumors that are smooth and move easily under your skin when touched. A fibroadenoma may grow larger. Factors that may be associated with fibroadenoma growth include being pregnant, using hormone therapy or menstruation. Injuries and infections. A severe injury to your breast tissue or nearby nerves can create a breast lump. Doctors describe this condition as fat necrosis. A collection of infected fluid (abscess) in breast tissue also can cause a breast lump, one that's often associated with localized breast pain and inflammation of the skin. Breast cancer. A breast lump that's painless, hard, irregularly shaped and different from surrounding breast tissue might be breast cancer. Skin covering the lump may look red, dimpled or pitted like the skin of an orange. Your breast size and shape may change, or you may notice discharge from the nipple. Only by seeing your doctor for evaluation can you be certain of what kinds of tests you might need and which type of breast lump you have.

The signs and symptoms of Stickler syndrome — and the severity of those signs and symptoms — can vary widely from person to person, even within the same family. Eye problems. In addition to having severe nearsightedness, children who have Stickler syndrome often experience cataracts, glaucoma and retinal detachments. Hearing difficulties. The extent of hearing loss varies among people who have Stickler syndrome. It usually affects the ability to hear high frequencies. Bone and joint abnormalities. Children who have Stickler syndrome often have overly flexible joints and are more likely to develop abnormal curvatures of the spine, such as scoliosis. Osteoarthritis can begin in adolescence.

The chest pain or discomfort may feel like: Burning Fullness Pressure Squeezing Pain may also be felt in the arms, neck, jaw, shoulder or back. Other symptoms of angina include: Dizziness Fatigue Nausea Shortness of breath Sweating The severity, duration and type of angina can vary. New or different symptoms may signal a more dangerous form of angina (unstable angina) or a heart attack. Any new or worsening angina symptoms need to be evaluated immediately by a health care provider who can determine whether you have stable or unstable angina. Angina in women Symptoms of angina in women can be different from the classic angina symptoms. These differences may lead to delays in seeking treatment. For example, chest pain is a common symptom in women with angina, but it may not be the only symptom or the most prevalent symptom for women. Women may also have symptoms such as: Discomfort in the neck, jaw, teeth or back Nausea Shortness of breath Stabbing pain instead of chest pressure Stomach (abdominal) pain

Newborns with PKU initially don't have any symptoms. However, without treatment, babies usually develop signs of PKU within a few months. PKU PKU Signs and symptoms of untreated PKU can be mild or severe and may include: PKU A musty odor in the breath, skin or urine, caused by too much phenylalanine in the body Nervous system (neurological) problems that may include seizures Skin rashes, such as eczema Lighter skin, hair and eye color than family members, because phenylalanine can't transform into melanin — the pigment responsible for hair and skin tone Unusually small head size (microcephaly) Hyperactivity Intellectual disability Delayed development Behavioral, emotional and social problems Mental health disorders Severity varies The severity of PKU depends on the type. PKU Classic PKU. The most severe form of the disorder is called classic PKU. The enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine is missing or severely reduced. This results in high levels of phenylalanine that can cause severe brain damage. Less severe forms of PKU. In mild or moderate forms, the enzyme still has some function, so phenylalanine levels are not as high, resulting in a smaller risk of significant brain damage. Regardless of the form, most infants, children and adults with the disorder still require a special PKU diet to prevent intellectual disability and other complications. PKU Pregnancy and PKU Women who have PKU and become pregnant are at risk of another form of the condition called maternal PKU. If women don't follow the special PKU diet before and during pregnancy, blood phenylalanine levels can become high and harm the developing baby. PKU PKU PKU Even women with less severe forms of PKU may place their unborn children at risk by not following the PKU diet. PKU PKU Babies born to women with high phenylalanine levels don't often inherit PKU. But a child can have serious problems if the level of phenylalanine is high in the mother's blood during pregnancy. At birth, the baby may have: PKU Low birth weight Unusually small head Problems with the heart In addition, maternal PKU can cause the child to have delayed development, intellectual disability and problems with behavior.

Signs and symptoms of intestinal ischemia can develop suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic). Signs and symptoms may be different from one person to the next, but there are some generally recognized patterns that suggest intestinal ischemia. Symptoms of sudden (acute) intestinal ischemia Signs and symptoms of acute intestinal ischemia typically include: Sudden belly (abdominal) pain that may be mild, moderate or severe An urgent need to have a bowel movement Frequent, forceful bowel movements Abdominal tenderness or bloating (distention) Blood in your stool Nausea and vomiting Mental confusion in older adults Symptoms of gradually developing (chronic) intestinal ischemia Signs and symptoms of chronic intestinal ischemia can include: Abdominal cramps or fullness, usually within 30 minutes after eating, and lasting 1 to 3 hours Abdominal pain that gets gradually worse over weeks or months Fear of eating because of pain that happens after eating Unintended weight loss Diarrhea Nausea and vomiting Bloating

Most people who have Paget's disease of bone have no symptoms. When symptoms occur, the most common complaint is bone pain. Because this disease causes your body to generate new bone faster than normal, the rapid remodeling produces bone that's less organized and weaker than normal bone, which can lead to bone pain, deformities and fractures. The disease might affect only one or two areas of your body or might be widespread. Your signs and symptoms, if any, will depend on the affected part of your body. Pelvis. Paget's disease of bone in the pelvis can cause hip pain. Skull. An overgrowth of bone in the skull can cause hearing loss or headaches. Spine. If your spine is affected, nerve roots can become compressed. This can cause pain, tingling and numbness in an arm or leg. Leg. As the bones weaken, they may bend — causing you to become bowlegged. Enlarged and misshapen bones in your legs can put extra stress on nearby joints, which may cause osteoarthritis in your knee or hip.

Most canker sores are round or oval with a white or yellow center and a red border. They form inside your mouth — on or under your tongue, inside your cheeks or lips, at the base of your gums, or on your soft palate. You might notice a tingling or burning sensation a day or two before the sores actually appear. There are several types of canker sores, including minor, major and herpetiform sores. Minor canker sores Minor canker sores are the most common and: Are usually small Are oval shaped with a red edge Heal without scarring in one to two weeks Major canker sores Major canker sores are less common and: Are larger and deeper than minor canker sores Are usually round with defined borders, but may have irregular edges when very large Can be extremely painful May take up to six weeks to heal and can leave extensive scarring Herpetiform canker sores Herpetiform canker sores are uncommon and usually develop later in life, but they're not caused by herpes virus infection. These canker sores: Are pinpoint size Often occur in clusters of 10 to 100 sores, but may merge into one large ulcer Have irregular edges Heal without scarring in one to two weeks

When the heart beats too fast, it may not pump enough blood to the rest of the body. So the organs and tissues may not get enough oxygen. Signs and symptoms that occur during an episode of ventricular tachycardia are due to a lack of oxygen and may include: Chest pain (angina) Dizziness Pounding heartbeat (palpitations) Lightheadedness Shortness of breath Ventricular tachycardia may go away on its own within 30 seconds (nonsustained V-tach) or last more than 30 seconds (sustained V-tach or VT). Brief episodes may not cause any symptoms. But sustained VT can cause serious problems, including: V-tach V-tach VT VT Fainting Loss of consciousness Cardiac arrest (sudden death)

Pulmonary edema symptoms may appear suddenly or develop over time. Symptoms depend on the type of pulmonary edema. Sudden (acute) pulmonary edema symptoms Difficulty breathing (dyspnea) or extreme shortness of breath that worsens with activity or when lying down A feeling of suffocating or drowning that worsens when lying down A cough that produces frothy sputum that may have blood in it A rapid, irregular heartbeat (palpitations) Anxiety, restlessness or a feeling that something bad is about to happen Cold, clammy skin Wheezing or gasping for breath Long-term (chronic) pulmonary edema signs and symptoms Awakening at night with a cough or breathless feeling that may be relieved by sitting up Difficulty breathing with activity or when lying flat Fatigue More shortness of breath than usual when you're physically active New or worsening cough Rapid weight gain Swelling in the legs and feet Wheezing High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) signs and symptoms HAPE can occur in adults and children who travel to or exercise at high altitudes. Symptoms are similar to those that occur with acute pulmonary edema and can include: HAPE Headache, which may be the first symptom Shortness of breath with activity, which becomes shortness of breath at rest Not being able to exercise as much as you once could Dry cough, at first Later, a cough that produces frothy sputum that may look pink or have blood in it A very fast heartbeat (tachycardia) Weakness Chest pain Low fever Symptoms of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) tend to get worse at night.

Infants Most babies born to women carrying group B strep are healthy. But the few who are infected by group B strep during labor can become critically ill. In infants, illness caused by group B strep can be within six hours of birth (early onset) — or weeks or months after birth (late onset). Signs and symptoms might include: Fever Low body temperature Difficulty feeding Sluggishness, limpness or weak muscle tone Difficulty breathing Irritability Jitteriness Seizures Rash Jaundice Adults Many adults carry group B strep in their bodies — usually in the bowel, vagina, rectum, bladder or throat — and have no signs or symptoms. In some cases, however, group B strep can cause a urinary tract infection or other more-serious infections. Signs and symptoms of infections that may be caused by group B strep include the following. Urinary tract infection A strong, persistent urge to urinate A burning sensation or pain when urinating Passing frequent, small amounts of urine Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola colored — a sign of blood in the urine Pelvic pain Blood infection (bacteremia) Fever Chills Confusion or lack of alertness Pneumonia Fever Chills Cough Shortness of breath Chest pain when you breathe or cough Skin or soft-tissue infection Swelling, warmth or redness in the area of the infection Pain in the area of the infection Lesions with pus or drainage Bone or joint infection Fever Chills Swelling, warmth or redness over the area of the infection Pain in the area of the infection Stiffness or inability to use a limb or joint

For some people, an allergic reaction to a particular food may be uncomfortable but not severe. For other people, an allergic food reaction can be frightening and even life-threatening. Food allergy symptoms usually develop within a few minutes to 2 hours after eating the offending food. Rarely, symptoms may be delayed for several hours. The most common food allergy signs and symptoms include: Tingling or itching in the mouth Hives, itching or eczema Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat or other parts of the body Wheezing, nasal congestion or trouble breathing Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting Anaphylaxis In some people, a food allergy can trigger a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. This can cause life-threatening signs and symptoms, including: Constriction and tightening of the airways A swollen throat or the sensation of a lump in your throat that makes it difficult to breathe Shock with a severe drop in blood pressure Rapid pulse Dizziness, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness Emergency treatment is critical for anaphylaxis. Untreated, anaphylaxis can cause a coma or even death.

A tumor is an abnormal growth or mass of tissue. A cyst is a lesion that contains liquid or semisolid material. Examples of jaw tumors and cysts include: Ameloblastoma. This rare, usually noncancerous (benign) tumor begins in the cells that form the protective enamel lining on the teeth. It develops most often in the jaw near the molars. The most common type is aggressive, forming large tumors and growing into the jawbone. Although this tumor can recur after treatment, aggressive surgical treatment will typically reduce the chance of recurrence. Central giant cell granuloma. Central giant cell granulomas are benign lesions that grow from bone cells. They most often occur in the front portion of the lower jaw. One type of these tumors can grow rapidly, cause pain and destroy bone, and has a tendency to recur after surgical treatment. The other type is less aggressive and may not have symptoms. Rarely, a tumor may shrink or resolve on its own, but typically these tumors require surgical treatment. Dentigerous cyst. This cyst originates from tissue that surrounds a tooth before it erupts into the mouth. This is the most common form of cyst that affects the jaws. Most often these cysts will occur around wisdom teeth that are not fully erupted, but they can also involve other teeth. Odontogenic keratocyst. This cyst is also referred to as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor because of its tumorlike tendency to recur after surgical treatment. Although this cyst is typically slow growing, it can still be destructive to the jaw and teeth if left untreated over a long period of time. Most often the cyst develops in the lower jaw near the third molars. These cysts may also be found in people with an inherited condition called nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Odontogenic myxoma. This is a rare, slow-growing, benign tumor that occurs most often in the lower jaw. The tumor can be large and aggressively invade the jaw and surrounding tissue and displace teeth. Odontogenic myxomas are known to recur after surgical treatment; however, the chances of tumor recurrence are typically lessened by more-aggressive forms of surgical treatment. Odontoma. This benign tumor is the most common odontogenic tumor. Odontomas often have no symptoms, but they may interfere with tooth development or eruption. Odontomas are made up of dental tissue that grows around a tooth in the jaw. They can resemble an oddly shaped tooth or can be a small or large calcified tumor. These tumors may be part of some genetic syndromes. Other types of cysts and tumors. These include adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, glandular odontogenic cyst, squamous odontogenic tumor, calcifying odontogenic cyst, cementoblastoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, ossifying fibroma, osteoblastoma. central odontogenic fibroma and others.

Rheumatic fever symptoms result from inflammation in the heart, joints, skin or central nervous system. There may be few symptoms or several. Symptoms can change during the course of the disease. The onset of rheumatic fever usually occurs about 2 to 4 weeks after a strep throat infection. Rheumatic fever signs and symptoms can include: Fever Painful and tender joints — most often in the knees, ankles, elbows and wrists Pain in one joint that migrates to another joint Red, hot or swollen joints Chest pain Fatigue Flat or slightly raised, painless rash with a ragged edge Heart murmur Jerky, uncontrollable body movements (Sydenham chorea) — most often in the hands, feet and face Outbursts of unusual behavior, such as crying or inappropriate laughing, that accompanies Sydenham chorea Small, painless bumps beneath the skin

Sleepwalking usually occurs early in the night — often one to two hours after falling asleep. It's unlikely to occur during naps. A sleepwalking episode can occur rarely or often, and an episode generally lasts several minutes, but can last longer. Someone who is sleepwalking may: Get out of bed and walk around Sit up in bed and open his or her eyes Have a glazed, glassy-eyed expression Not respond or communicate with others Be difficult to wake up during an episode Be disoriented or confused for a short time after being awakened Not remember the episode in the morning Have problems functioning during the day because of disturbed sleep Have sleep terrors in addition to sleepwalking Sometimes, a person who is sleepwalking will: Do routine activities, such as getting dressed, talking or eating Leave the house Drive a car Engage in unusual behavior, such as urinating in a closet Engage in sexual activity without awareness Get injured, for example, by falling down the stairs or jumping out a window Become violent during the period of brief confusion immediately after waking or, occasionally, during sleepwalking When to see a doctor Occasional episodes of sleepwalking aren't usually a cause for concern and typically resolve on their own. You can simply mention the sleepwalking at a routine physical or well-child exam. However, consult your doctor if the sleepwalking episodes: Occur often — for example, more than one to two times a week or several times a night Lead to dangerous behavior or injury to the person who sleepwalks or to others Cause significant sleep disruption to household members or the person who sleepwalks Result in daytime symptoms of excessive sleepiness or problems functioning Start for the first time as an adult Continue into your child's teen years

An orgasm is a peak feeling of intense pleasure in response to stimulating sexual activity. Vaginal penetration during sex indirectly stimulates the clitoris. But this may not be enough stimulation for orgasm. Many women may also need direct manual or oral stimulation of the clitoris to reach orgasm. Anorgasmia, or female orgasmic disorder, is defined as experiencing any of these in a significant way: Delayed orgasm Absence of orgasm Fewer orgasms Less-intense orgasms Anorgasmia can also be: Lifelong, if you've never had an orgasm Acquired, if you have new problems with having orgasms Situational, if you have problems with orgasm only in certain situations, with certain kinds of stimulation or with certain partners Generalized, if you have problems with orgasm in any situation Women who don't always reach orgasm during sexual encounters may not find it distressing. In that case, the lack of an orgasm is not considered a disorder.

Signs and symptoms of ALS vary greatly from person to person, depending on which neurons are affected. It generally begins with muscle weakness that spreads and gets worse over time. Signs and symptoms might include: ALS Difficulty walking or doing normal daily activities Tripping and falling Weakness in your legs, feet or ankles Hand weakness or clumsiness Slurred speech or trouble swallowing Muscle cramps and twitching in your arms, shoulders and tongue Inappropriate crying, laughing or yawning Cognitive and behavioral changes ALS often starts in the hands, feet or limbs, and then spreads to other parts of your body. As the disease advances and nerve cells are destroyed, your muscles get weaker. This eventually affects chewing, swallowing, speaking and breathing. ALS There's generally no pain in the early stages of ALS, and pain is uncommon in the later stages. ALS doesn't usually affect your bladder control or your senses.

Babies with XLA generally appear healthy for the first few months because they're protected by the antibodies they got from their mothers before birth. When these antibodies clear from their systems, the babies begin to develop often severe, recurrent bacterial infections — such as of the ears, lungs, sinuses and skin — that can be life-threating.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia is caused by a genetic mutation. People with the condition can't produce antibodies that fight infection. About 40% of people with the condition have a family member who has it. Complications People with XLA can live relatively normal lives and should be encouraged to participate in regular activities for their ages. However, recurrent infections related to XLA will likely require careful attention and aggressive treatment. They can cause organ damage and be life-threatening.

Most people with parvovirus infection have no signs or symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they vary greatly depending on how old you are when you get the disease. Parvovirus symptoms in children Early signs and symptoms of parvovirus infection in children may include: Fever Upset stomach Headache Runny nose Distinctive facial rash Several days after the appearance of early symptoms, a distinctive bright red rash may appear on your child's face — usually on both cheeks. Eventually it may spread to the arms, trunk, thighs and buttocks, where the rash has a pink, lacy, slightly raised appearance. The rash may be itchy, especially on the soles of the feet. Generally, the rash occurs near the end of the illness. It's possible to mistake the rash for other viral rashes or a medicine-related rash. The rash may come and go for up to three weeks, becoming more visible when your child is exposed to extreme temperatures or spends time in the sun. Parvovirus symptoms in adults Adults don't usually develop the slapped-cheek rash. Instead, the most noticeable symptom of parvovirus infection in adults is joint soreness, lasting days to weeks. Joints most commonly affected are the hands, wrists, knees and ankles.

Dry macular degeneration symptoms usually develop gradually and without pain. They may include: Visual distortions, such as straight lines seeming bent. Reduced central vision in one or both eyes. The need for brighter light when reading or doing close-up work. Increased difficulty adapting to low light levels, such as when entering a dimly lit restaurant or theater. Increased blurriness of printed words. Difficulty recognizing faces. A well-defined blurry spot or blind spot in the field of vision. Dry macular degeneration can affect one or both eyes. If only one eye is affected, you may not notice any changes in your vision. This is because your good eye may compensate for the affected eye. And the condition doesn't affect the side vision, so it does not cause total blindness. Dry macular degeneration is one of two types of age-related macular degeneration. It can progress to wet macular degeneration, which is when blood vessels grow and leak under the retina. The dry type is more common, but it usually progresses slowly over years. The wet type is more likely to cause a relatively sudden change in vision resulting in serious vision loss.

Ataxia can develop over time or come on suddenly. Ataxia is a sign of several neurological disorders and can cause: Poor coordination Walking unsteadily or with the feet set wide apart Poor balance Difficulty with fine motor tasks, such as eating, writing or buttoning a shirt Change in speech Involuntary back-and-forth eye movements (nystagmus) Difficulty swallowing

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is marked by changes in mental abilities. Symptoms get worse quickly, usually within several weeks to a few months. Early symptoms include: Personality changes. Memory loss. Impaired thinking. Blurry vision or blindness. Insomnia. Problems with coordination. Trouble speaking. Trouble swallowing. Sudden, jerky movements. Death usually occurs within a year. People with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease usually die of medical issues associated with the disease. They might include having trouble swallowing, falls, heart issues, lung failure, or pneumonia or other infections. In people with variant CJD, changes in mental abilities may be more apparent in the beginning of the disease. In many cases, dementia develops later in the illness. Symptoms of dementia include the loss of the ability to think, reason and remember. CJD Variant CJD affects people at a younger age than CJD. Variant CJD appears to last 12 to 14 months. CJD CJD CJD Another rare form of prion disease is called variably protease-sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr). It can mimic other forms of dementia. It causes changes in mental abilities and problems with speech and thinking. The course of the disease is longer than other prion diseases — about 24 months.

Severe cases may require treatment. Fetal macrosomia can be difficult to detect and diagnose during pregnancy. Signs and symptoms include: Large fundal height. During prenatal visits, your health care provider might measure your fundal height — the distance from the top of your uterus to your pubic bone. A larger than expected fundal height could be a sign of fetal macrosomia. Excessive amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). Having too much amniotic fluid — the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy — might be a sign that your baby is larger than average. The amount of amniotic fluid reflects your baby's urine output, and a larger baby produces more urine. Some conditions that cause a baby to be larger might also increase his or her urine output.

This depends on the number of larvae eaten in the infected meat. Possibly no signs or symptoms Mild cases of trichinosis — those with only a small number of parasites in your body — may cause no signs or symptoms. Symptoms can develop with moderate or heavy infestation ⸺ a large number of parasites in your body. These symptoms sometimes get worse as the roundworm (trichinella) larvae travel through your body. Initial signs and symptoms You swallow roundworm (trichinella) larvae in tiny sacks (cysts) containing the parasite. Your digestive juices dissolve the cysts, releasing the larvae into your body. The larvae then enter the wall of your small intestine, where they grow into adult worms and mate. Digestive symptoms can begin 1 to 2 days after infection. At this stage, you may experience: Diarrhea Stomach (abdominal) pain Severe tiredness and weakness (fatigue) Nausea and vomiting Later signs and symptoms About a week after infection, the adult female worms produce larvae. The larvae go through the wall of your intestine and enter your bloodstream, They travel around the body and bury themselves in muscle tissue. Here, each larva coils up and forms a cyst around itself. The larvae can live for months to years inside the muscle tissue. Symptoms caused by muscle tissue invasion usually start 2 to 8 weeks after infection and include: High fever and chills Muscle pain and tenderness Aching joints Swelling of the eyelids or face Weakness Headache Sensitivity to light Pink eye (conjunctivitis) Itchy, irritated skin With a large number of parasites, muscle pain and weakness can be severe. This can limit moving, breathing and speaking. Symptoms last for several months. But symptoms generally lessen when the larvae form cysts. Even after the infection is gone, fatigue, mild pain, weakness and diarrhea may last for months or years.

The signs and symptoms of celiac disease can vary greatly and differ in children and adults. Digestive signs and symptoms for adults include: Diarrhea Fatigue Weight loss Bloating and gas Abdominal pain Nausea and vomiting Constipation However, more than half the adults with celiac disease have signs and symptoms unrelated to the digestive system, including: Anemia, usually from iron deficiency Loss of bone density (osteoporosis) or softening of bone (osteomalacia) Itchy, blistery skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis) Mouth ulcers Headaches and fatigue Nervous system injury, including numbness and tingling in the feet and hands, possible problems with balance, and cognitive impairment Joint pain Reduced functioning of the spleen (hyposplenism) Children Children with celiac disease are more likely than adults to have digestive problems, including: Nausea and vomiting Chronic diarrhea Swollen belly Constipation Gas Pale, foul-smelling stools The inability to absorb nutrients might result in: Failure to thrive for infants Damage to tooth enamel Weight loss Anemia Irritability Short stature Delayed puberty Neurological symptoms, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, headaches, lack of muscle coordination and seizures Dermatitis herpetiformis Gluten intolerance can cause this itchy, blistering skin disease. The rash usually occurs on the elbows, knees, torso, scalp and buttocks. This condition is often associated with changes to the lining of the small intestine identical to those of celiac disease, but the skin condition might not cause digestive symptoms. Doctors treat dermatitis herpetiformis with a gluten-free diet or medication, or both, to control the rash.

Shellfish allergy symptoms generally start within minutes to an hour after eating or having contact with shellfish. They may include: Hives Itchy, irritated skin Nasal stuffiness (congestion) Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body Wheezing or trouble breathing Coughing and choking or a tight feeling in the throat Belly (abdominal) pain, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting Anaphylaxis Allergies can cause a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. It can occur within seconds to minutes after exposure to something you're allergic to ⸺ and worsens quickly. An anaphylactic reaction to shellfish is a medical emergency. Anaphylaxis requires immediate treatment with an epinephrine (adrenaline) injection and a follow-up trip to the emergency room. If anaphylaxis isn't treated right away, it can be fatal. Anaphylaxis causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause you to go into shock. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include: A swollen throat or tongue or a tightness in the throat (airway constriction) that makes it difficult for you to breathe Coughing, choking or wheezing with trouble breathing Shock, with a severe drop in your blood pressure and a rapid or weak pulse Severe skin rash, hives, itching or swelling Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting

Common symptoms of BPH include: BPH Frequent or urgent need to pee, also called urination. Peeing more often at night. Trouble starting to pee. Weak urine stream, or a stream that stops and starts. Dribbling at the end of urination. Not being able to fully empty the bladder. Less common symptoms include: Urinary tract infection. Not being able to pee. Blood in the urine. The symptoms of BPH tend to slowly get worse. But sometimes they stay the same or even improve over time. BPH The size of the prostate doesn't always determine how serious the symptoms are. Some people with slightly enlarged prostates can have major symptoms. Others who have very enlarged prostates can have minor problems. And some people with enlarged prostates don't have any symptoms at all. Other possible causes of urinary symptoms Some other health problems can lead to symptoms that are like those caused by enlarged prostate. These include: Urinary tract infection. Inflamed prostate. Narrowing of the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. Scarring in the bladder neck due to past surgery. Bladder or kidney stones. Problems with nerves that control the bladder. Cancer of the prostate or bladder. Some medicines also may lead to symptoms that seem like those caused by BPH. These include: BPH Powerful pain-relieving medicines called opioids. Cold and allergy medicines. Older medicines for depression called tricyclic antidepressants.

During the first few months after a loss, many signs and symptoms of normal grief are the same as those of complicated grief. However, while normal grief symptoms gradually start to fade over time, those of complicated grief linger or get worse. Complicated grief is like being in an ongoing, heightened state of mourning that keeps you from healing. Signs and symptoms of complicated grief may include: Intense sorrow, pain and rumination over the loss of your loved one Focus on little else but your loved one's death Extreme focus on reminders of the loved one or excessive avoidance of reminders Intense and persistent longing or pining for the deceased Problems accepting the death Numbness or detachment Bitterness about your loss Feeling that life holds no meaning or purpose Lack of trust in others Inability to enjoy life or think back on positive experiences with your loved one Complicated grief also may be indicated if you continue to: Have trouble carrying out normal routines Isolate from others and withdraw from social activities Experience depression, deep sadness, guilt or self-blame Believe that you did something wrong or could have prevented the death Feel life isn't worth living without your loved one Wish you had died along with your loved one

Dystonia affects different people in different ways. Muscle spasms might: Begin in a single area, such as your leg, neck or arm. Focal dystonia that begins after age 21 usually starts in the neck, arm or face. It tends to remain focal or become segmental. Occur during a specific action, such as writing by hand. Worsen with stress, fatigue or anxiety. Become more noticeable over time. Areas of the body that can be affected include: Neck (cervical dystonia). Contractions cause your head to twist and turn to one side, or pull forward or backward, sometimes causing pain. Eyelids. Rapid blinking or spasms cause your eyes to close (blepharospasms) and make it difficult for you to see. Spasms usually aren't painful but might increase when you're in bright light, reading, watching TV, under stress or interacting with people. Your eyes might feel dry, gritty or sensitive to light. Jaw or tongue (oromandibular dystonia). You might experience slurred speech, drooling, and difficulty chewing or swallowing. Oromandibular dystonia can be painful and often occurs in combination with cervical dystonia or blepharospasm. Voice box and vocal cords (laryngeal dystonia). You might have a tight or whispering voice. Hand and forearm. Some types of dystonia occur only while you do a repetitive activity, such as writing (writer's dystonia) or playing a specific musical instrument (musician's dystonia). Symptoms usually don't happen when your arm is at rest.

Factitious disorder symptoms involve mimicking or producing illness or injury or exaggerating symptoms or impairment to deceive others. People with the disorder go to great lengths to hide their deception, so it may be difficult to realize that their symptoms are actually part of a serious mental health disorder. They continue with the deception, even without receiving any visible benefit or reward or when faced with objective evidence that doesn't support their claims. Factitious disorder signs and symptoms may include: Clever and convincing medical or psychological problems Extensive knowledge of medical terms and diseases Vague or inconsistent symptoms Conditions that get worse for no apparent reason Conditions that don't respond as expected to standard therapies Seeking treatment from many different doctors or hospitals, which may include using a fake name Reluctance to allow doctors to talk to family or friends or to other health care professionals Frequent stays in the hospital Eagerness to have frequent testing or risky operations Many surgical scars or evidence of numerous procedures Having few visitors when hospitalized Arguing with doctors and staff Factious disorder imposed on another Factitious disorder imposed on another (previously called Munchausen syndrome by proxy) is when someone falsely claims that another person has physical or psychological signs or symptoms of illness, or causes injury or disease in another person with the intention of deceiving others. People with this disorder present another person as sick, injured or having problems functioning, claiming that medical attention is needed. Usually this involves a parent harming a child. This form of abuse can put a child in serious danger of injury or unnecessary medical care. How those with factitious disorder fake illness Because people with factitious disorder become experts at faking symptoms and diseases or inflicting real injuries upon themselves, it may be hard for health care professionals and loved ones to know if illnesses are real or not. People with factitious disorder make up symptoms or cause illnesses in several ways, such as: Exaggerating existing symptoms. Even when an actual medical or psychological condition exists, they may exaggerate symptoms to appear sicker or more impaired than is true. Making up histories. They may give loved ones, health care professionals or support groups a false medical history, such as claiming to have had cancer or AIDS. Or they may falsify medical records to indicate an illness. Faking symptoms. They may fake symptoms, such as stomach pain, seizures or passing out. Causing self-harm. They may make themselves sick, for example, by injecting themselves with bacteria, milk, gasoline or feces. They may injure, cut or burn themselves. They may take medications, such as blood thinners or drugs for diabetes, to mimic diseases. They may also interfere with wound healing, such as reopening or infecting cuts. Tampering. They may manipulate medical instruments to skew results, such as heating up thermometers. Or they may tamper with lab tests, such as contaminating their urine samples with blood or other substances.

Some people with early myocarditis don't have symptoms. Others have mild symptoms. Common myocarditis symptoms include: Chest pain Fatigue Swelling of the legs, ankles and feet Rapid or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias) Shortness of breath, at rest or during activity Light-headedness or feeling like you might faint Flu-like symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pain, fever or sore throat Sometimes, myocarditis symptoms are like a heart attack. If you are having unexplained chest pain and shortness of breath, seek emergency medical help. Myocarditis in children When children develop myocarditis, symptoms may include: Breathing difficulties Chest pain Fainting Fever Rapid breathing Rapid or irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)

Symptoms are likely to start slowly, often showing up 1 to 3 weeks after exposure to the bacteria. Early illness Early symptoms include: Fever that starts low and increases throughout the day, possibly reaching as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Chills. Headache. Weakness and fatigue. Muscle aches. Stomach pain. Diarrhea or constipation. Rash. People also may have a cough, loss of appetite and sweating. Later illness A few weeks after symptoms start, the illness can cause problems in the intestines. People may have: Stomach pain. Very swollen stomach. An infection caused by gut bacteria spreading throughout the body, called sepsis. In very serious cases, people may: Become confused. Not be able to pay attention to anything around them. Not be able to react to the world around them. These are life-threatening complications. In some people, symptoms may return up to a few weeks after the fever has gone away.

General signs and symptoms of most types of vasculitis include: Fever Headache Fatigue Weight loss General aches and pains Other signs and symptoms are related to the parts of the body affected, including: Digestive system. If your stomach or intestines are affected, you may experience pain after eating. Ulcers and perforations are possible and may result in blood in the stool. Ears. Dizziness, ringing in the ears and abrupt hearing loss may occur. Eyes. Vasculitis can make your eyes look red and itch or burn. Giant cell arteritis can cause double vision and temporary or permanent blindness in one or both eyes. This is sometimes the first sign of the disease. Hands or feet. Some types of vasculitis can cause numbness or weakness in a hand or foot. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet might swell or harden. Lungs. You may develop shortness of breath or even cough up blood if vasculitis affects your lungs. Skin. Bleeding under the skin can show up as red spots. Vasculitis can also cause lumps or open sores on your skin.

Long-term infection with the hepatitis C virus is known as chronic hepatitis C. Chronic hepatitis C is usually a "silent" infection for many years, until the virus damages the liver enough to cause the signs and symptoms of liver disease. Signs and symptoms include: Bleeding easily Bruising easily Fatigue Poor appetite Yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes (jaundice) Dark-colored urine Itchy skin Fluid buildup in your abdomen (ascites) Swelling in your legs Weight loss Confusion, drowsiness and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy) Spiderlike blood vessels on your skin (spider angiomas) Every chronic hepatitis C infection starts with an acute phase. Acute hepatitis C usually goes undiagnosed because it rarely causes symptoms. When signs and symptoms are present, they may include jaundice, along with fatigue, nausea, fever and muscle aches. Acute symptoms appear one to three months after exposure to the virus and last two weeks to three months. Acute hepatitis C infection doesn't always become chronic. Some people clear HCV from their bodies after the acute phase, an outcome known as spontaneous viral clearance. In studies of people diagnosed with acute HCV, rates of spontaneous viral clearance have varied from 15% to 25%. Acute hepatitis C also responds well to antiviral therapy.

Intense itching is the main symptom of cholestasis of pregnancy. But there is no rash. Typically, you feel itchy on the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet, but you may feel itchy everywhere. The itching is often worse at night and may bother you so much that you can't sleep. The itching is most common during the third trimester of pregnancy but sometimes begins earlier. It may feel worse as your due date gets near. But once your baby arrives, the itchiness usually goes away within a few days. Other less common signs and symptoms of cholestasis of pregnancy may include: Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, called jaundice Nausea Loss of appetite Oily, foul-smelling stools

Shedding light on dangerous faints Click here for an infographic to learn more Shedding light on dangerous faints Click here for an infographic to learn more Some people with long QT syndrome (LQTS) do not have any noticeable symptoms. The condition may be discovered when an electrocardiogram (ECG) or genetic testing is done for other reasons. Fainting (syncope) is the most common symptom of long QT syndrome. A fainting spell from long QT syndrome can occur with little to no warning. Some people have fainting warning signs first, including: Blurred vision Lightheadedness Pounding heartbeats (palpitations) Weakness Fainting occurs when the heart temporarily beats in an unorganized way. You might faint when you're excited, angry or scared or during exercise. Things that startle you — for example, a telephone or an alarm clock — can cause you to lose consciousness. Long QT syndrome may also cause seizures in some people. Symptoms of long QT syndrome sometimes occur during sleep. Most people with symptoms of LQTS have their first episode by age 40. When the condition is present at birth (congenital long QT syndrome), symptoms may occur during the first weeks to months of life or later in childhood. LQTS Generally, after a long QT episode, the heart returns to its typical rhythm. If the heart doesn't reset itself or if an external defibrillator isn't used in time to reset the heart rhythm, sudden death will occur.

The most common sign of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a heart rate greater than 100 beats a minute. Episodes of a fast heart rate (tachycardia) can begin suddenly and may last a few seconds or several hours. Episodes can occur during exercise or while at rest. Other signs and symptoms of WPW syndrome are related to the fast heart rate and underlying heart rhythm problem (arrhythmia). The most common arrhythmia seen with WPW syndrome is supraventricular tachycardia. Supraventricular tachycardia causes episodes of a fast, pounding heartbeat that begin and end abruptly. Some people with WPW syndrome also have a fast and chaotic heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. WPW WPW WPW In general, signs and symptoms that may occur in people with WPW syndrome include: WPW A rapid, fluttering or pounding heartbeat (palpitations) Chest pain Difficulty breathing Dizziness or lightheadedness Fainting Fatigue Shortness of breath Anxiety Symptoms in infants Signs and symptoms of WPW syndrome in infants can include: WPW Pale or faded skin color (pallor) Blue or gray coloring to the skin, lips and nails (cyanosis) Restlessness or irritability Rapid breathing Poor eating Some people with an extra electrical pathway don't have signs or symptoms of a fast heartbeat. This condition is called Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) pattern. It's often discovered by chance during a heart test.

Because epilepsy is caused by abnormal activity in the brain, seizures can affect any process your brain coordinates. Seizure signs and symptoms may include: Temporary confusion A staring spell Stiff muscles Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs Loss of consciousness or awareness Psychological symptoms such as fear, anxiety or deja vu Symptoms vary depending on the type of seizure. In most cases, a person with epilepsy will tend to have the same type of seizure each time, so the symptoms will be similar from episode to episode. Doctors generally classify seizures as either focal or generalized, based on how and where the abnormal brain activity begins. Focal seizures When seizures appear to result from abnormal activity in just one area of your brain, they're called focal seizures. These seizures fall into two categories: Focal seizures without loss of consciousness. Once called simple partial seizures, these seizures don't cause a loss of consciousness. They may alter emotions or change the way things look, smell, feel, taste or sound. Some people experience deja vu. This type of seizure may also result in involuntary jerking of one body part, such as an arm or leg, and spontaneous sensory symptoms such as tingling, dizziness and flashing lights. Focal seizures with impaired awareness. Once called complex partial seizures, these seizures involve a change or loss of consciousness or awareness. This type of seizure may seem like being in a dream. During a focal seizure with impaired awareness, you may stare into space and not respond normally to your environment or perform repetitive movements, such as hand rubbing, chewing, swallowing or walking in circles. Symptoms of focal seizures may be confused with other neurological disorders, such as migraine, narcolepsy or mental illness. A thorough examination and testing are needed to distinguish epilepsy from other disorders. Generalized seizures Seizures that appear to involve all areas of the brain are called generalized seizures. Six types of generalized seizures exist. Absence seizures. Absence seizures, previously known as petit mal seizures, typically occur in children. They're characterized by staring into space with or without subtle body movements such as eye blinking or lip smacking and only last between 5-10 seconds. These seizures may occur in clusters, happening as often as 100 times per day, and cause a brief loss of awareness. Tonic seizures. Tonic seizures cause stiff muscles and may affect consciousness. These seizures usually affect muscles in your back, arms and legs and may cause you to fall to the ground. Atonic seizures. Atonic seizures, also known as drop seizures, cause a loss of muscle control. Since this most often affects the legs, it often causes you to suddenly collapse or fall down. Clonic seizures. Clonic seizures are associated with repeated or rhythmic, jerking muscle movements. These seizures usually affect the neck, face and arms. Myoclonic seizures. Myoclonic seizures usually appear as sudden brief jerks or twitches and usually affect the upper body, arms and legs. Tonic-clonic seizures. Tonic-clonic seizures, previously known as grand mal seizures, are the most dramatic type of epileptic seizure. They can cause an abrupt loss of consciousness and body stiffening, twitching and shaking. They sometimes cause loss of bladder control or biting your tongue.

Small arteriovenous fistulas in the legs, arms, lungs, kidneys or brain often won't have any signs or symptoms. Small arteriovenous fistulas usually don't need treatment other than monitoring by a health care provider. Large arteriovenous fistulas may cause signs and symptoms. Arteriovenous fistula signs and symptoms may include: Purplish, bulging veins seen through the skin, similar to varicose veins Swelling in the arms or legs Decreased blood pressure Fatigue Heart failure A significant arteriovenous fistula in the lungs (pulmonary arteriovenous fistula) is a serious condition and can cause: Pale gray or blue lips or fingernails due to lack of blood flow (cyanosis) Fingertips to spread out and become rounder than normal (clubbing) Coughing up blood An arteriovenous fistula in the digestive tract can cause gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

For either acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis, signs and symptoms may include: Cough Production of mucus (sputum), which can be clear, white, yellowish-gray or green in color — rarely, it may be streaked with blood Fatigue Shortness of breath Slight fever and chills Chest discomfort If you have acute bronchitis, you might have cold symptoms, such as a mild headache or body aches. While these symptoms usually improve in about a week, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a productive cough that lasts at least three months, with recurring bouts occurring for at least two consecutive years. If you have chronic bronchitis, you're likely to have periods when your cough or other symptoms worsen. At those times, you may have an acute infection on top of chronic bronchitis. When to see a doctor See your doctor if your cough: Lasts more than three weeks Prevents you from sleeping Is accompanied by fever higher than 100.4 F (38 C) Produces discolored mucus Produces blood Is associated with wheezing or shortness of breath
