Symptoms: How to Spot Them, Track Them, and Decide What to Do

Not sure if a headache, bladder problem, or strange side effect needs a doctor? This tag collects practical guides that explain common symptoms, why they happen, and what steps you can take right away. Expect short, useful advice—not medical lectures—so you can make smarter choices and know when to seek care.

How to use these symptom guides

Scan the short summaries below and pick the post that matches your problem. If it’s sudden chest pain, severe breathing trouble, fainting, or signs of stroke, call emergency services. For ongoing or unclear symptoms, start tracking: note when symptoms happen, what you ate or took, activity level, and any medicines. That simple log helps your clinician and prevents guesswork.

Many posts here explain how drugs affect symptoms. For example, our piece on imipramine shows how alcohol and caffeine can worsen drowsiness and heart-rate effects. If you’re starting or stopping a medicine, check articles about interactions and side effects first. That can save a lot of worry and avoid common mistakes.
