All in Your Head: Should You Let the Internet Diagnose You?
Headaches that are too sharp, too long, too concentrated make my head spin (add vertigo to the list). Maybe it's my first migraine? Or very first tumor?
Search Engines for Cyberchondriacs
Many of us have admitted to being a cyberchondriac, so what's a cyberchondriac to do in this google happy world. Well, stop googling, for one. Instead search for health problems that you may have now and could have in the future, on sites that will only search reputable health sites backed by physicians, not some guy sitting in his basement.
Are You a Cyberchondriac?
When you cross a hypochondriac with the Internet you get a cyberchondriac.
Those of us prone to take on the various symptoms we hear or read about, are particularly vulnerable to thinking we have all those diseases we research on the web. The Internet is a useful tool, but there is a lot of information with little context provided, making it easy for the impressionable to jump to conclusions.
Are You A 'Cyberchondriac'?
It all starts with a headache, then you get the chills and sharp pain ensues not long after. What is one to do? Do you raid the medicine cabinet, go to the doctors or ask Mr. Internet what could be the problem?
