A

Abdominal pain is discomfort anywhere between your chest and pelvis. It's extremely common and usually caused by something minor like gas, indigestion, or a stomach bug.

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) causes patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and sometimes hyperactivity that interfere with daily life.

Anxiety is your body's natural response to stress — feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease. Occasional anxiety is normal, but when it's frequent or overwhelming it may need support.

B

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people see a doctor. Most cases are muscular and improve within a few weeks with self-care.

C

Chest pain has many causes — some minor, some serious. Because it can signal a heart problem, it's important to take new or severe chest pain seriously.

A cough is your body's way of clearing the airways. Most coughs come from a cold or minor infection and clear up within a couple of weeks.

D

Depression is more than feeling sad — it's a persistent low mood or loss of interest that affects how you feel, think, and function.

Dizziness describes feeling lightheaded, unsteady, or like the room is spinning (vertigo). It's very common and usually not serious.

E

Ear pain is common, especially in children. It can be sharp, dull, or burning and may affect one or both ears.

Eye pain can feel like burning, aching, or a gritty sensation. It may affect the surface of the eye or feel deeper.

F

Fatigue is persistent tiredness that doesn't improve with rest. It's one of the most common health complaints and has many possible causes.

A fever is a temporary rise in body temperature, usually a sign your body is fighting an infection. In adults, a fever is generally 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.

The flu (influenza) is a viral infection that hits suddenly with fever, body aches, cough, and fatigue.

H

Hair loss (alopecia) can be gradual thinning, patchy bald spots, or sudden shedding. It affects both men and women at any age.

Headaches are one of the most common health complaints. Most are tension headaches or migraines and are not a sign of anything serious.

J

Joint pain affects the places where bones meet — like the knees, hands, hips, and shoulders. It can be caused by injury, overuse, or arthritis.

K

Knee pain is very common and can affect people of all ages. It may result from an injury, overuse, or a condition like arthritis.

N

Nausea is the uneasy feeling that you might vomit. It's a symptom, not a disease, and has many possible causes.

R

A rash is a noticeable change in the skin's color, texture, or feel. Rashes are very common and usually caused by irritation, allergy, or infection.

S

Shortness of Breath

Shortness of breath is the feeling that you can't get enough air. It can be mild (after exercise) or a sign of a more serious problem.

A sore throat is pain, scratchiness, or irritation of the throat that often worsens when you swallow. It's usually caused by a viral infection.

U

Unexplained Weight Gain

Gaining weight without changes to your diet or activity can signal a medical issue worth evaluating.

Unexplained Weight Loss

Losing weight without trying — especially more than 5% of body weight in 6–12 months — deserves medical evaluation.

V

Vomiting is the forceful emptying of the stomach. It's usually caused by a temporary problem like a stomach bug or something you ate.

W

Weakness is a loss of muscle strength that makes everyday tasks harder. It can be general (whole body) or focal (one area).

Wheezing is a whistling sound when you breathe, usually caused by narrowed airways.
