What are examples of medical symptoms by human organ systems, age, and gender?

Brain & central nervous system (nervous system) Circulatory System Digestive System Endocrine System Integumentary system Lymphatic (immune) system Muscular system Reproductive System Respiratory System Skeletal System Urinary system

General Symptoms by presentation Age Gender Brain & central nervous system (nervous system) Neurological/Psychological Emergency Sudden weakness, numbness, tingling, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body. Sudden changes in vision. Sudden trouble speaking. Sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements. Sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches. Sudden problems with walking or balance. Suicidal Ideation Numbness, tingling, weakness, or inability to move a part or all of one side of the body (paralysis).

Nonemergency Issues Acalculia Acrophobia Agnosia Agoraphobia Akathisia Akinesia Alexia Amusia Anhedonia Anomia Anosognosia Anxiety Apraxia Arachnophobia Ataxia Bradykinesia Cataplexy (G47.4) Chorea Claustrophobia Confusion Deliberate Self Harm And Drug Overdose Depression Dysarthria Dysdiadochokinesia Dysgraphia Dystonia Euphoria Hallucination Headache Hemiballismus And Ballismus Homicidal Ideation Insomnia (F51.0, G47.0) Lhermitte's Sign Mania (F30) Paralysis Paranoia Or Persecution Paresthesia Phobia (see The List Of Phobias) Prosopagnosia Sciatica Somnolence (R40.0) Tic Tremor Persistent or sudden onset of a headache A headache that changes or is different Loss of feeling or tingling Weakness or loss of muscle strength Sudden loss of sight or double vision Memory loss Impaired mental ability Lack of coordination Muscle rigidity Tremors and seizures Back pain which radiates to the feet, toes, or other parts of the body Muscle wasting and slurred speech Agitation—anxious, restless, panicky, nervous, rapid speech and movement Anger, aggressively hostile Defiance Violence: Threatening self, others Suicidal gestures or talk Shouting, crying out, crying Isolates self, refuses to talk Obsessive-compulsive actions Observable signs Personal appearance: Poor hygiene, grooming, dress History of alcohol or drug abuse Delusions or visions: Hears voices, may want to follow “orders” of voices; talks to unseen persons Persecution: Believes others are plotting against him, no one understands him, blames others for problems Observable signs Speech or language Cannot talk or does not appear to understand what you are saying (aphasia) Result of brain injury (head trauma, stroke, brain tumor, neurological disease, epilepsy, migraine) to specific brain areas—NOT a cognitive disorder Broca’s area—controls language/speech Wernicke’s area—control language interpretation Talks, but word choice is unusual Quality, pace, articulation Observable signs Age (with any of the above signs) 15-25 years of age Over 40 years of age The elderly Symptoms of a panic attack include: Racing or pounding heartbeat Heart palpations or an irregular heartbeat Dizziness Tingling or numbness of the fingers and mouth Uncontrollable shaking as though the person is very cold and teeth chattering Shortness of breath Ocular Amaurosis Fugax (G45.3) And Amaurosis Blurred Vision Dalrymple's Sign Double Vision (H53.2) Exophthalmos (H05.2) Mydriasis/Miosis (H570) Nystagmus Cardiovascular Arrhythmia Bradycardia (R00.1) Chest Pain (R07) Claudication Palpitation (R00.2) Tachycardia (R00.0) Emergency Symptoms of a heart attack can include: Discomfort, pressure, heaviness, or pain in the chest, arm, or below the breastbone Discomfort radiating to the back, jaw, throat, or arm Fullness, indigestion, or choking feeling (may feel like heartburn) Sweating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness Extreme weakness, anxiety, or shortness of breath Rapid or irregular heartbeats Palpitations (a feeling of skipped heart beats, fluttering or "flip-flops," or feeling that your heart is "running away"). Pounding in your chest. Dizziness or feeling light-headed. Fainting. Shortness of breath. Chest discomfort. Weakness or fatigue (feeling very tired). Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of arrhythmia. Most people with AF experience one or more of the following symptoms: Heart palpitations (a sudden pounding, fluttering, or racing feeling in the heart). Lack of energy; tired. Dizziness (feeling faint or light-headed). Chest discomfort (pain, pressure, or discomfort in the chest). Shortness of breath (difficulty breathing during activities of daily living). Some patients with atrial fibrillation have no symptoms. Sometimes these episodes are briefer. Symptoms of Heart Valve Disease Symptoms of h eart valve disease can include: Shortness of breath and/or difficulty catching your breath. You may notice this most when you are active (doing your normal daily activities) or when you lie down flat in bed. Weakness or dizziness. Discomfort in your chest. You may feel a pressure or weight in your chest with activity or when going out in cold air. Palpitations (this may feel like a rapid heart rhythm, irregular heartbeat, skipped beats, or a flip-flop feeling in your chest). If valve disease causes heart failure, symptoms may include: Swelling of your ankles or feet. Swelling may also occur in your abdomen, which may cause you to feel bloated. Quick weight gain (a weight gain of two or three pounds in one day is possible). Symptoms of heart valve disease do not always relate to the seriousness of your condition. You may have no symptoms at all and have severe valve disease, requiring prompt treatment. Or, as with mitral valve prolapse, you may have severe symptoms, yet tests may show minor valve disease. Symptoms of Heart Failure Symptoms of heart failure can include: Shortness of breath noted during activity (most commonly) or at rest, especially when you lie down flat in bed. Cough that is productive of a white mucus. Quick weight gain (a weight gain of two or three pounds in one day is possible). Swelling in ankles, legs, and abdomen. Dizziness. Fatigue and weakness. Rapid or irregular heartbeats. Other symptoms include nausea, palpitations, and chest pain. Like valve disease, heart failure symptoms may not be related to how weak your heart is. You may have many symptoms, but your heart function may be only mildly weakened. Or you may have a severely damaged heart, with little or no symptoms. Symptoms of Congenital Heart Defects Congenital heart defects may be diagnosed before birth, right after birth, during childhood, or not until adulthood. It is possible to have a defect and no symptoms at all. Sometimes it can be diagnosed because of a heart murmur on physical exam or an abnormal EKG or chest X-ray in someone with no symptoms. In adults, if symptoms of congenital heart disease are present, they may include: Shortness of breath. Limited ability to exercise. Symptoms of heart failure (see above) or valve disease (see above). Congenital Heart Defects in Infants and Children Symptoms of congenital heart defects in infants and children may include: Cyanosis (a bluish tint to the skin, fingernails, and lips). Fast breathing and poor feeding. Poor weight gain. Recurrent lung infections. Inability to exercise. Symptoms of Heart Muscle Disease (Cardiomyopathy) Many people with cardiomyopathy have no symptoms or only minor symptoms, and live a normal life. Other people develop symptoms, which progress and worsen as heart function worsens. Symptoms of cardiomyopathy can occur at any age and may include: Chest pain or pressure (occurs usually with exercise or physical activity, but can also occur with rest or after meals). Heart failure symptoms (see above). Swelling of the lower extremities. Fatigue. Fainting. Palpitations (fluttering in the chest due to abnormal heart rhythms). Some people also have arrhythmias. These can lead to sudden death in a small number of people with cardiomyopathy. Symptoms of Pericarditis Chest pain. This pain is different from angina (pain caused by coronary artery disease). It may be sharp and located in the center of the chest. The pain may radiate to the neck and occasionally, the arms and back. It is made worse when lying down, taking a deep breath in, coughing, or swallowing and relieved by sitting forward. Low-grade fever. Increased heart rate.
