Malaise is a non-specific symptom and can be present in the slightest ailment, such as an emotion (causing fainting, a vasovagal response) or hunger (light hypoglycemia[2]), to the most serious conditions (cancer, stroke, heart attack, internal bleeding, etc.). Malaise expresses a patient's uneasiness that "something is not right" that may need a medical examination to determine the significance. Figurative use[edit] "Economic malaise" refers to an economy that is stagnant or in recession (compare depression). ^ "Malaise: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia".
