How to interpret answers
This guide helps you consider whether it may be reasonable to seek medical advice. It does not confirm or rule out any condition.
- Low reason to seek help: Occasional difficulties tied to stress, fatigue, or temporary factors that resolve on their own.
- Medium reason to seek help: Recurrent symptoms lasting several weeks, especially with risk factors (e.g., smoking, chronic conditions).
- High reason to seek help: Persistent symptoms for months, worsening over time, or accompanied by other health issues (pain, cardiovascular symptoms, medication side effects).
