These symptoms can signify various underlying health issues – both minor and severe. This group includes conditions like fever, fatigue, weakness, and changes in awareness or consciousness levels. These symptoms might be present in a multitude of diseases and are usually the body's general response to an ailment or infection. Changes in appetite or weight, abnormalities in temperature, imagery findings, or even body system failures are also incorporated in this range. Patients may showcase different combinations of these symptoms based on the underlying ailment. The progression of these conditions largely depends on the root cause and may vary significantly.
