Harbinger of Disease

A harbinger of illness or also prodrome syndrome is the initial period of illness, which is not always accompanied by any symptoms, but may indicate future changes in the body. Precursors of illness are one of the most effective ways to determine the development of a disease and can warn of a potential health threat long before obvious symptoms appear. Here are a few key signs you should pay attention to in order to identify the warning signs of the disease in time.

1. Changing habits and behavior For example, if you notice that you are sleeping longer than usual,



*A harbinger of a disease* is a nonspecific symptom complex that precedes the development of a particular disease, found in many patients, but rarely accepted by them as signs of a disease, since they are usually not associated with a complaint and are noted at an early stage of the disease.

Prodromal phenomena include various nonspecific changes in the condition, including a state of weakness, pain, increased body temperature, sensitivity to weather changes, and irritability. General subjective sensations may be accompanied by dyspeptic symptoms, headache, and chills. In the clinical picture, they can manifest themselves with many symptoms. In some patients they are completely absent, in others they are extremely polymorphic.

Changes in the general reactivity of the body are currently considered not only as a general pathological phenomenon, reflecting an imbalance between adaptive capabilities and external and internal harms, and not as a mechanism of compensatory and adaptive processes, but also as an integral component of the pathogenesis of diseases.
