►

Headache in the forehead, like a
pressure and drawing-pressing, disappearing on walking and in the open
air (immediately). ► Feeling of
tension in the left inner canthus, extending down into the nasal bone,
as if a swelling were there; the eye seems drawn together and smaller. ► Pressure in the pit of the stomach and
internal surface of the sternum, at times with fine sticking-itching
externally in the same place; it is especially painful on inspiration,
and the epigastric region is sore to touch; most violent after eating
and in the evening. ► Pressure on the
mons veneris only when sitting. ►
Pressure and oppression of the external parts of the chest, without
affecting breathing. ► Pain in the
outer portion of the leg, above the ankle, extending up the muscles, as
if the part were beaten, even when sitting. ►
Itching on the tibia, with a sensation as if there were an eruption.
