| “Now let me see ... where did I leave that key?” |
 |
 The name of a friend is at the tip of the tongue, but it just slips away. The more you wrack your brains, the more elusive it is. The right word, while making conversation, dances just out of reach. You know it but cannot grab hold and say it out loud. There is a frantic search for that important document but you cannot find it in the place you are sure you kept it. Much later while looking for something else you come across that in a different place. |

| The
common
hernia |
 It appears as a small bulge in the groin, gradually enlarging with time, though still painless. In the morning when you wake up it's not there, but when you get up and walk about, it appears. When you cough it is more prominent. This could be a hernia. A hernia occurs when there is a weak point in the stomach wall and the abdominal contents bulge through this weak point beneath the skin. |

| It’s a headache! |
 You cannot go through life without having an occasional headache, but for some people the frequency of the attacks as well as the severity can affect their quality of life significantly. Although headaches are generally benign, they could also be a sign of a serious underlying health problem. A headache can be described as aching or pain in the head, located above the eyes, ears and back of the head. They may be associated with a range of other symptoms such as feeling sick, photophobia (when the light hurts your eyes) and noises. |
