The terms "problems" and "symptoms" are often used interchangeably to mean the same thing. Professions (doctors, nurses) usually think in terms of "symptoms", while laypersons or non-professionals think in terms of "problems". But even nursing care plans describe "problems" interchangeably with "symptoms". But, generally speaking, the problems cause the symptoms, and typically the symptoms (along with clinical signs) help diagnose or figure out the problem.
Another facet of this subject is that what non-professionals often think of as a medical "problem" based on a particular symptom (which they call often call a problem) is often not a problem at all when viewed or considered by a professional. For example, a person might convince themselves that a "queasy" feeling means they have stomach cancer, when it is nothing but normal and temporary changes within the stomach.
