Symptom #6: Malaise
Malaise is a medical term that refers to a general feeling of uneasiness, pain, discomfort and is a non-specific symptom that is usually the first indication that there is an infection or disease. It can present in any ailment and can even be present when there is a trivial issue such as a vasovagal response (fainting), low blood sugar or in serious conditions such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke.
Patients often describe malaise as a feeling of uneasiness or “something is not right” without knowing the exact cause. Experts believe it to be due to the activation of the body’s immune response and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
