MEDICAL SYMPTOMS

symptom - Pathology. A phenomenon that arises from and accompanies a particular disease or disorder and serves as an indication of it.

If you're not the type to schedule regular check ups and put off going to the doctor until you feel really lousy, then you need to get a little more serious.
