List of medical symptoms
Medical symptoms are complaints which indicate disease.[1] They are noticed by the patient and cause people to go and see a health practitioner. It is rare that a person would visit a doctor and complain as follows: "Doctor, I have amaurosis fugax." They are more likely to complain of loss of vision. This list is not exhaustive but might be useful as a guide.
