Malaise causes, treatment and self-help
There are also unspecific physical complaints. So Lively writes on www.bym.de: "There are nothing but little things, but taken all together, get on my nerves and restrict me. I can not concentrate, that's why I find learning very difficult, I am inattentive in conversations. I am easily irritable and quickly become unfriendly, I would prefer to crawl in bed all day anyway. "

Beginning illnesses
"My HA unfortunately has an appointment later in the week, but I'm currently pretty dirty. I'm just lying there when I get up, it makes me sick for a few minutes after a short while, and I feel like something's going on in my body. Sounds really weird but that's just how I feel right now. "Eloq on the forum med1.de.
Malaise may indicate the onset of a disease, but it may also be the result of negative stress, for example. (Image: ALDECAstudio / fotolia.com) The diffuse signs of discomfort mean that those affected usually do not know whether physical or psychological causes are underlying. Often this disorder indicates the onset of a disease. Viral infections, especially a cold or flu, start with this negative feeling. Also, a low blood pressure, blood pressure fluctuations or anemia are characterized by malaise. Negative stress also manifests early in the form of an uncomfortable feeling.
In case of stress, the accompanying symptoms are sleep disorders, fatigue and even depression.
Social triggers
Malaise can also have social causes. People who fear for their jobs, students who suffer from bullying and people who are socially isolated or isolated from others, feel uncomfortable.
A warning signal
For all concerned: Malaise is not a disease, but a warning signal. It can both warn of serious physical illnesses, reveal a psychological crisis, or suggest a social problem. In all cases, it is necessary to solve the cause, not just to combat the negative feeling.
Psychic triggers
Everyone is familiar with malaise before exams, unpleasant conversations or generally unpleasant situations. Then we feel a dull feeling in the stomach, a "lump in the throat", feel weak and without energy.
In general, we know the reason only too well: the upcoming math exam or the appointment with the landlord. When this situation is over, the bad feeling usually disappears.

Bed rest, combined with plenty of water, helps against the discomfort itself. These are also the methods to ward off an imminent cold. But if the feeling does not disappear for days, then please consult a doctor.
Either you have contracted an infection that is insufficient for home remedies, or you have mental health problems that these home remedies do not work against.
diagnosis
For the doctor, the diagnosis is not easy. He first has to find out if physical, mental or psychosocial triggers play a role. For this he leads an intensive conversation with the patient.
For mental and psychosocial causes, the doctor can only find them if the people involved work with him, so be honest. This is often easier said than done: Mental ill-feeling often stems from the fact that we displace problems out of consciousness, and we are either embarrassed to reveal them or even displace them so successfully that we no longer recognize them ourselves.
It is easier for the doctor when physical causes come into question: he measures the blood pressure, takes a blood sample, detects viruses or bacteria. He also asks about concomitant symptoms: flu-like infections are also quickly manifested by fatigue, body aches, throat scratching, coughing and runny nose; Anemia is also associated with feelings of dizziness.
Consequences of negative feeling
General malaise makes everyday life difficult. Those affected can concentrate badly and are therefore weak in their job and school performance. This is true for mental exercise as well as for physical sports. Even more: physical exercise is hardly possible.

Psychic triggers, for example, lead to a burnout syndrome or nervous breakdown. Circulatory collapse may be preceded by a circulatory collapse: malaise may also signal serious illnesses such as a heart attack.
fears
Negative feeling with mental cause is usually associated with excessive anxiety. Often it concerns existential fears, but also various phobias show up at first as malaise and then increase up to sweats and panic attacks.
In anxiety disorders early symptom
General malaise is also an early symptom of anxiety disorders, but accompanies patients throughout the disease. They generally feel unwell because they feel exposed to something as general as they are indefinitely dangerous.
They feel uncomfortable, restless. Inwardly, they are restless, often they seem driven. Added to this is lack of interest, concentration problems and joylessness. They exhaust themselves. Their environment seems unreal to them. They feel far away from everything and close to fainting.
These psychological causes are best treated with a mix of psychotherapy and medication.
Social pressures
Here, the solutions are designed for the long term. Medication and mental health care can alleviate the uncomfortable feeling, but success can only be achieved when the social situation that plays into the discomfort is over.
It's easy to say that if someone is discriminated against because of their appearance or sexual orientation, if a boss harasses his employees, or if a person, for whatever reason, feels uncomfortable in his job, then that's not at the touch of a button to change. It is always about the individual case, and a solution can only be individual.
Prevent malaise
To prevent mental discomfort, there are a number of possibilities. The first is: Reduce negative stress. To reduce stress, you can have in-depth conversations with friends and partners as well as superficial small talk.
As banal as it sounds, go for a walk and ride a bike. Both are proven excellent methods for effective stress reduction.
Cycling is a very good way to get rid of stress-related discomfort. (Image: Kzenon / fotolia.com) Do not overdo sport
But do not overdo it with the sporting activity: Who does too much sports, also exposes itself to an increased risk of infections and also runs the risk that the stomach acidifies. Both express themselves in discomfort, and those who exaggerate achieve exactly what they are fighting for. In sports, then: Take enough breaks.
Professor Lahmann from Freiburg advises: "Sufficient sleep, a healthy diet and a little exercise to compensate. Much has already been done with that. "
Malaise in pregnancy
A weak feeling in the stomach, weakness, ie general malaise, is part of the pregnancy at times and may even indicate a pregnancy. Catella writes on Babycenter.de: "I'm really looking forward to our first baby. There are only things that make it difficult for me to focus on my pleasure. Since I am pregnant I do not feel well in my body. It all started with nausea then I got pimples everywhere, I feel bloated and have a headache and I'm very vulnerable at the moment. (...) Does anyone understand that? "
Buttonbird answers: "To be constantly tired, having digestive problems, running to the toilet a hundred times, having stretchy pains, and having bad luck with nausea even after the first trimester ... the good thing is, none of this will last forever." The malaise in pregnancy disappears when the child is born (Dr Utz Anhalt)
