Examples of prodromal symptoms in the following topics:
-
- The common symptoms of mumps include inflammation of the salivary glands, pancreas, and testicles; fever, and headache.
- Other symptoms of mumps can include dry mouth, sore face and/or ears and occasionally, in more serious cases, loss of voice.
- Fever and headache are prodromal symptoms of mumps, together with malaise and loss of appetite.
- A person infected with mumps is contagious from approximately six days before the onset of symptoms until about nine days after symptoms start.
- Warm salt water gargles, soft foods, and extra fluids may also help relieve symptoms.
-
- It is characterized by early symptoms that might indicate the start of a disease before specific symptoms occur.
- Prodromes may be non-specific symptoms or, in a few instances, may clearly indicate a particular disease.
- For example fever, malaise, headache and lack of appetite frequently occur in the prodrome of many infective disorders.
- Viral infections present with systemic symptoms.
- Outline the stages of disease: incubation, prodromal, acute and convalescence periods
-
- Prodromal labor, which includes the latent phase of labor, marks the initial stages of parturition.
- Pre-labor, also called prodromal labor, consists of the early contractions and labor signs before actual labor starts.
- Prodromal labor, often misnamed false labor, begins much as traditional labor but does not progress to the birth of the baby.
- However, this does not mean that every woman will experience every symptom.
-
- Many forms of syncope are preceded by a prodromal state that often includes dizziness and loss of vision ("blackout") (temporary), loss of hearing (temporary), loss of pain and feeling (temporary), nausea and abdominal discomfort, weakness, sweating, a feeling of heat, palpitations, and other phenomena, which--if they do not progress to loss of consciousness and postural tone--are often denoted "presyncope. " Abdominal discomfort prior to loss of consciousness may be indicative of seizure which should be considered different than syncope.
- Isolated episodes of loss of consciousness, unheralded by any warning symptoms for more than a few moments.
- Recurrent syncope with complex associated symptoms called neurally mediated syncope.
-
- Somatic symptom disorders involve physical symptoms but lack physical evidence of illness or injury.
- Symptoms of somatic symptom disorders are sometimes similar to those of other illnesses and may last for years.
- Symptoms may occur across cultures and gender.
- Somatic symptom disorders are not the result of conscious malingering (fabricating or exaggerating symptoms for secondary motives) or factitious disorders (deliberately producing, feigning, or exaggerating symptoms)–sufferers perceive their plight as real.
- Somatic symptom disorder is a controversial diagnosis.
-
- Some people presenting only minimal symptoms, such as confusion and weakness.
- Specific subtypes of shock may have additional symptoms.
- The symptoms of cardiogenic shock are similar to those of hypovolemic shock.
- These symptoms are caused by neural damage and resultant loss of muscle control.
- Differentiate among the types of shock and the signs and symptoms associated with each
-
- In particular, emotional symptoms must be present consistently to diagnose PMS .
- More than 200 different symptoms have been associated with PMS, but the three most prominent symptoms are irritability, tension, and dysphoria (unhappiness).
- PMDD consists of symptoms similar to, but more severe than, PMS, and while primarily mood-related, may include physical symptoms such as bloating.
- Emotional symptoms are generally present, and in PMDD, mood symptoms are dominant.
- The main symptoms, which can be disabling, include:
-
- Mononucleosis is an infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and results in flu-like symptoms.
- Occasionally, the symptoms can recur at a later period.
- Most people are exposed to the virus as children, when the disease produces no noticeable or only flu-like symptoms.
- Symptoms usually persist for two to three weeks, but fatigue is often more prolonged.
- Once the acute symptoms of an initial infection disappear, they often do not return.
-
- Biological, genetic, infectious and psychological mechanisms have been proposed for the development and persistence of symptoms but the etiology of CFS is not understood and may have multiple causes.
- Symptoms of CFS include post-exertional malaise; unrefreshing sleep; widespread muscle and joint pain; sore throat; headaches of a type not previously experienced; cognitive difficulties; chronic, often severe, mental and physical exhaustion; and other characteristic symptoms in a previously healthy and active person .
- Persons with CFS may report additional symptoms such as muscle weakness, increased sensitivity to light, sounds and smells, orthostatic intolerance, digestive disturbances, depression, and cardiac and respiratory problems.
- It is unclear if these symptoms represent co-morbid conditions or are produced by an underlying etiology of CFS.
- CFS symptoms vary from person to person in number, type, and severity.
-
- Though fibromyalgia is classically related to pain, other symptoms include fatigue, sleep disturbances, joint stiffness, bowel and bladder issues, and cognitive dysfunction .
- In most cases, patients with fibromyalgia symptoms may also have laboratory test results that appear normal and many of their symptoms may mimic those of other rheumatic conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis.
- In general, most doctors diagnose patients with a process called differential diagnosis, which means that doctors consider all of the possible things that might be wrong with the patient based on the patient's symptoms, gender, age, geographic location, medical history, and other factors.
- It is unclear whether the brain anomalies cause fibromyalgia symptoms or are the product of an unknown underlying common cause.
- As with many other medically unexplained syndromes, there is no universally accepted treatment or cure for fibromyalgia, and treatment typically consists of symptom management.
