Depends on the deficiency. Each vitamin and mineral has its own cluster of symptoms.

Vit C deficiency (scurvy): Breakdown of collagen. Fatigue, loose teeth, bleeding gums, easy bruising, even old wounds can reopen.

Low potassium: This is a medical emergency, as it can affect cardiac function. Fatigue, heart arrhythmias, muscle weakness.

These are just a few examples. You can easily Google the rest.
