Malaise, or the general feeling of not being well, is not at all life threatening.
It is a symptom rather than a disease itself.
If a person feels malaise / fatigued for an extended period of time, say a week or two, it is a good idea to seek medical attention, since it could be a sign of underlying somatic (meaning bodily) or mental disease.
Many people feel fatigued from time to time. This can be due to such mundane reasons as stress from work, or even eating a poor diet.

As with those classified as "expectant" under a triage system, the priority for patients with a life-threatening disease shifts from treatment to comfort and quality of life.
