Associated Symptoms (4)
Weight Loss
Weight loss without trying is worth discussing with a clinician, especially when it continues or comes with other symptoms.
Weight Gain
Weight gain can have many influences; a rapid change with swelling or breathlessness needs medical assessment.
Excessive Thirst
Feeling thirsty after exercise is usual; being constantly thirsty despite drinking is not and deserves attention.
Excessive Sweating
