Haemorrhoids, or piles, are swollen veins around the anus and in the rectum that may protrude from the anus. They are very much like varicose veins; they enlarge and lose their elasticity, resulting in saclike protrusions into the anal canal. They can be caused, and aggravated, by sitting or standing for prolonged periods, lifting heavy objects, straining at bowel movements, as well as by pregnancy, obesity, lack of exercise, liver damage, food allergies, and insufficient consumption of dietary fibre.

Common causes of headaches include: stress; tension; anxiety; allergies; constipation; coffee consumption; eyestrain; hunger; sinus pressure; muscle tension; hormonal imbalances; temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome; trauma to the head; nutritional deficiencies; the use of alcohol, drugs or tobacco; fever; and exposure to irritants such as pollution, perfume, or after-shave lotion. The brain itself is insensitive to pain. Most probably, the pain of headaches is due to dilatation of the arteries or to pressure of some sort. The dilatation may be in response to nervous stimuli, or the pain may arise from the neck muscles, or scalp, or from other nearby organs.

A fever is an elevation in body temperature. It is a common symptom of disease but should be treated as secondary to the disordered state with which it is associated. Normal body temperature ranges from 98°F to 99°F. One should not have undue concern unless body temperature rises above 102°F in adults or 103°F in children. In fact, running a temperature is often helpful to the body. This defence mechanism of the body acts to destroy harmful microbes.
