Malaise
Malaise has been described as a general ill feeling or ill-at-ease feeling — a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or lack of well-being. Many conditions and drug side effects can cause malaise. By assessing other symptoms which are present with malaise, it is easier to determine the true cause of malaise. For example, the likely cause of malaise for arthritis patients is the combined effect of inflammation, joint pain, and other joint symptoms.
