Malaise
Alternate Names : General Ill Feeling
What to Expect at your Health Care Provider's Office
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions such as:
- How long has it lasted (weeks or months)?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Is the malaise constant or episodic?
- Can you complete your daily activities? If not what limits you?
- Have you recently travelled?
- What medications are you on?
- What are your other medical problems?
- Do you use alcohol or other drugs?
If signs or symptoms of a significant illness are present, testing may be required to confirm the diagnosis. This may include various blood tests, x-rays, or other diagnostic tests.
