prodromes

Early symptom indicators

Prodromes are early symptoms or warning signs that precede the full onset of a disease or condition.

A migraine's prodrome might include fatigue or mood changes hours before the headache strikes.

In psychiatry, the prodromal phase of schizophrenia describes the period of subtle changes before psychotic symptoms appear.

The singular is prodrome.
