A symptom is a sensation or change in health function experienced by a patient. It is a subjective report, as opposed to a sign, which is objective evidence of the presence of a disease or disorder.
Examples of symptoms are fatigue/tiredness, pain, or nausea. In contrast, elevated blood pressure, or abnormal appearance of the retina, are signs of disease.
