What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

A healthcare provider may want to know several things when a person complains of malaise, such as:

  • how long the person has had the feeling
  • whether it occurs every day or only some days
  • whether it is getting worse, better, or staying the same
  • whether the malaise seems more mental or physical in origin
  • whether the feeling came on slowly or happened suddenly
  • whether the person has been or currently feels sick
  • the number of hours of sleep the person gets every night
  • the amount of stress in the person's life
  • the amount of activity or exercise a person engages in
  • what the person's diet is like
  • Other symptoms may be important in determining the cause of the malaise. For instance, the provider may want to know about fever, weight loss, or pain.
