How to Self Diagnosis Your Symptoms
- 1). Review how you are feeling by brainstorming your symptoms and writing them down on a piece of paper.
- 2). Organize your symptoms by how you may normally feel -- particularly if you have other illnesses or medical issues -- and unfamiliar symptoms.
- 3). Open your computer's Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox) and visit a well-known and safe symptom-checking service online. Some popular symptom-checkers include Web MD (symptoms.webmd.com), Family Doctor (familydoctor.org) and Wrong Diagnosis (symptoms.wrongdiagnosis.com).
- 4). Browse the online symptom-checkers and select or search all of the symptoms you are experiencing. The more symptoms you enter into the website's database, the more accurate the search results will appear.
- 5). Visit a local library or bookstore to browse medical dictionaries and guides for information that relates to your specific symptoms and ailments.
