Description: The first part of Johns Hopkins Symptoms and Remedies provides convenient, easy-to-use charts that point out all the potential diagnoses associated with your individual profile of symptoms. You are then referred to the second part of the book, which thoroughly explains the ailment or ailments indicated by your symptoms, giving reliable advice on what you should do next. Prevention and treatment methods are spelled out. This newly revised book clearly distinguishes between the normal signs of aging and the signs that should alert you to possible or acute chronic disorders. It covers everything from common, everyday ailments like back pain and indigestion to chronic health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. Over 200 primary symptoms and 400 diseases and disorders are discussed, with a guide to appropriate prevention, treatments, and medications. The reader is told plainly which symptoms signal an emergency, which require a prompt call to the doctor, and which can be safely self-treated at home (with clear, specific instructions on how to do so).
