[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 232916, member: 61772"] If you are worried about a health condition, it is best to get it checked out by a doctor. Although an online search can help give you a place to start in terms of learning more about a condition, the internet cannot diagnose you or tell you what treatment could be best for you. There are also some risks to searching for your health issues online: - You may read information that is outdated, not relevant to your condition, or even inaccurate. Not all websites go through a rigorous fact-checking process. - You may end up scaring yourself by reading about symptoms that are worse than yours and thus thinking your situation is much more serious than it really is. - Sharing your symptoms and concerns with others through social media sites may not be the best way to get the support you need. - You may end up misdiagnosing yourself based on the information you find online and then not seek medical help when there might be something else wrong with you. When you go to Google and type in "headache," your search results will return over 900 million items. How can you tell which ones provide accurate information? There are countless websites that provide information about different health issues, but not all of them are accurate. When trying to determine what's wrong with you, it's important to get your information from reliable sources. [/QUOTE]
