These are soft signs that SPs might display. Showing that that u noticed it says oceans about your observation powers ! and courteous behaviour ! I looked for these the moment I entered the room and introduced myself.
1. Yawning SP : Ask - "You look tired Mr. Smith, did you sleep well ?" This could unearth a duodenal ulcer that kept the patient awake at night ! Ofcourse other possibilities exist.
2. Shivering SP: Could mean fever or also could mean the room is too cold .right ? so first do ask the SP if the room temperature too cold for him/her. Surely shows u as very courteous and sensitive to the patient - if he / she says yes, say " Ok, I will have the nurse fix the temperature very soon". Or could it mean hypothyroidism
3. Sweating SP : It is important is to remind yourself that this case could be a case of bleeding with hypotension like Bleeding varices , hematemesis, etc.
