Common symptoms
Ovulation pain
Ovulation pain may occur around the middle of the menstrual cycle. It is usually mild, short-lived and not a cause for concern.
Abdominal bloating
Abdominal bloating is a feeling of fullness or tightness in the abdomen. It is often related to digestion and usually temporary.
Intestinal worms
Intestinal worms are parasitic infections of the gut. They can cause itching, abdominal pain and digestive symptoms.
Losing your hair is not usually anything to be worried about, but it can be upsetting. Treatment may help with some types of hair loss.
Choose which area of your hand hurts most to find out about treatments, when to get medical help and possible causes.
Most headaches go away on their own and are not a sign of something more serious.
Heart palpitations are when your heartbeat becomes more noticeable. They're usually harmless, but get help if you keep getting them or you also have other symptoms.
Most people get hiccups sometimes. They should only last a few minutes. You can usually wait for them to go away or treat them yourself without seeing a GP.
A high temperature in adults is usually a sign of infection or inflammation. It often resolves on its own but may need medical assessment if persistent or severe.
A high temperature in children is common and often caused by infection. Most fevers are mild, but young babies and persistent or severe symptoms need medical advice.
Hip pain is common, especially as you get older. There are things you can do to ease the pain, but get medical help if your hip is very painful or the pain does not get better.
Hip pain in children is often caused by irritable hip (transient synovitis), a temporary inflammation of the hip joint that usually resolves with rest, but needs assessment to exclude serious causes.
