Symptoms

Allergic reactions are probably the most common, followed by inflammation. But eye injuries are also common. Itching of the eye is again one of the symptoms that should not be underestimated. Long-term problems can cause permanent consequences and deterioration of vision.

Reduced tearing and dry eye are current problems nowadays that are significantly damaging to the eye in the long term. Do you know the causes and symptoms?

Sight is one of the most important senses. Its loss leads to a condition called blindness, which can be total or partial. The cause can be disease, injury or a genetic defect.

Squint is a movement disorder of the eyes. Their position during movement is different. Fixation of vision on an object takes place with only one eye. This disorder results in visual disturbances. Its early examination and treatment is important.

Ptosis, or a droopy and droopy eyelid, is not just an aesthetic problem. It can also be caused by a more serious nervous or vascular disease.

The eyelids are sensitive to inflammation. Apart from pain, swelling is easily noticeable, redness can be another symptom. The site of the eyelid is sensitive and the person is also sensitive to its disease. There can be various causes behind the swelling, not just inflammation.

Blindness in one eye is a symptom that can indicate a serious threat to the quality of vision or to health and life in general.

Even without an apparent disease cause, there is sometimes a condition where there is a blinking of the eyes, or other visual sensations. Phosphenes, as the sensations are known, also occur in the case of eye strain, after an accident, in case of fatigue, but also in case of low blood pressure. Sometimes they are a symptom of a disease.

They can be a symptom of chronic fatigue, sleep disorders or sleep apnoea. They occur in hyperthyroidism, iron deficiency, and also in pediculosis (scarring). They are often the result of trauma or other brain damage. A large proportion are psychiatric disorders, ADD or ADHD.

Paranoia is a disorder that can exist as a separate entity, but also as part of another psychiatric disorder. The person manifests with traits such as exaggerated jealousy, assertion of one's ego, exaggerated concern for one's person, stigma, and feeling threatened. He or she establishes unverified conspiracy theories, but may also have an exaggerated sense of neediness and importance to others and the world.

It also occurs as a symptom of disease, especially in endocrine disorders or brain damage in the area of thermoregulation, which is controlled from the hypothalamus. Very often, the decrease in body temperature is of course caused by the environment. With a long duration and low body temperature, it threatens health and life. However, it has also found its use in medicine.

It can occur after heavy physical activity, stress, but also with dehydration. If it persists and other symptoms are associated, it is necessary to think of diseases. From the nervous system to the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory and excretory. It is present in influenza, mild inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, but also in serious diseases.

Shivering is a state of trembling or a feeling of internal trembling of the body. It is often associated with increased body temperature and fever. However, it can occur without fever.

A tremor is described as an involuntary and rhythmic movement that affects one or more parts of the body. It affects the upper limbs, hands, fingers, head, trunk or legs.

Consciousness is what defines us. It is what we are able to perceive ourselves and our surroundings through. It is the manifestation of the activity of the central brain system. It is where our mental processes, our thinking, our memory take place. Sometimes conditions occur that disrupt its function and a disturbance occurs. This can be short or long term. In addition, disturbances are divided into qualitative or quantitative.

It occurs in children, adults and the elderly. Memory loss can be short-term, long-term, partial or complete. It occurs after an accident, in a psychological disorder or is a symptom of an illness.

It is recognised by weakness of a part of the body, impaired mobility of a limb or one side of the body. It can be partial or complete, temporary or permanent. It affects one nerve, but in some diseases more. It is a consequence of a minor, but also a serious disease. The main principle is not to underestimate this symptom and to seek immediate professional examination when it occurs.

Tingling often occurs in the upper or lower limbs, face, lips. It can accompany a momentary nerve compression or an acute illness, as well as a chronic problem. There are several causes.

Speech is our tool of communication. It serves us in the form of words. It can be spoken as sound, but also in the form of writing. Both forms need to be able to be processed, understood and ultimately produce a response. Sometimes, however, it malfunctions. It can be the result of damage to the neurological system or even disease outside it.

Muscle cramps manifest as involuntary muscle contractions. Their cause is not always completely known. They can also occur as a consequence of, and often as the first manifestation of, another disease. They are most common in the elderly and in women during pregnancy.
