In the language of the lay public, symptoms are outward signs or described sensations attributed to a disease or disorder after examination by a health care professional. These indications of disease or disorders will vary depending on the disease and body systems affected and the individuals involved.
In medical terminology, symptoms are the subjective indications (what a patient feels and experiences, e.g. pain, nausea, dizziness, etc.) that there may be a problem; while measurable and observational objective changes in body chemistry or functions are called signs (bleeding, elevated blood pressure, high temperature, blood chemistry changes, etc).
Most diseases and disorders initially manifest with outward signs, such as: abnormal findings on lab studies or X-rays and other imaging technologies; abnormal observed changes in breathing rate and other measurable vital signs (i.e., blood pressure, breathing, pulse, temperature); and, abnormalities or significant changes from the baseline, i.e., usual state, etc.
Other diseases manifest first with only symptomsreported by the patient. These are what a patient feels or experiences (as explained above) and include things like depression, anxiety, changes in sleep patterns, different eating habits, nausea, vomiting, pain, dizziness, etc.
Probably the most common manifestations of a problem include a combination of both signs and symptoms.
