[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 233522, member: 61772"] So true [USER=25357]@Abigael[/USER] Searching for health issues on google is not a good idea for several reasons. The information on most webpages is not written by medical professionals, and there may be many things that are incorrect or misleading. If you have a medical question, your best bet is to talk to your doctor. If you are worried about something you read online, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately. In today's world, with nearly everyone walking around with a smartphone in their pocket, we have become so used to instant access to information that it can be tempting to just Google your symptoms when you're feeling a little sick. But here's the thing: searching for health issues online can be risky. You might not find what you're looking for. Or you could find something that sends you into a panic mode, only to discover that your symptoms are completely normal. Here are another 5 disadvantages of searching your symptoms on Google: 1. You don't know what's reliable and what isn't. 2. It will put you into a panic mode (which can actually make symptoms feel worse). 3. It could be dangerous if you're prone to hypochondria. 4. Even doctors use Google—that doesn't mean they're using it well. 5. Doctors have more experience than Google does at spotting patterns in symptoms, which can help pinpoint the cause and treatment.
