  • Disorders of cardiovascular function
  • Hypotension – too low blood pressure
  • Tachycardia – heartbeat too fast: > 100 beats per minute.

Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)

  • Neurological disorders → disorders of consciousness (concentration disorders, perceptual disorders).
  • Nerve damage

Genitourinary system (kidneys, urinary tract – sex organs) (N00-N99)

  • Renal dysfunction

Symptoms and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)
