Abstract
This chapter discusses some of the common health problems. The problem with headache is that it is a commonplace symptom that may be of no medical significance; however, it can also be the first manifestation of a lethal or disabling disease. A headache of abrupt onset is characteristic of a sudden event such as bleeding into the subarachnoid space. The headaches can be sudden, continuous, rapid developing, and periodic. Organic defects of memory are seen with disease of the hippocampi and medial thalamic regions. Head injury commonly produces a memory gap and the severity of retrograde amnesia (RA) and of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) that interval between recovery of consciousness and of continued recall are useful measures of the severity of head injury. The chapter explains the cause of some of the common health problems, namely, visual symptoms, facial pain, dysarthria, deafness, pain, paraesthesiae, muscle weakness, gait disorder, fatigue, bladder problems, and impotence.
