Health problems are part of life. The fact is that everyone gets ill sometimes – though hopefully not too often – and when you develop a medical symptom you need to decide what to do about it. Learn self-diagnosis is helpful.

When you’re in the right frame of mind, you can approach health problems in the same way that you tackle any other problem in your daily life, assessing your symptoms in the following way:

1. Ask questions: Asking yourself a number of questions relevant to your health problems can help you to narrow down the causes of your symptom and make an initial diagnosis. But more importantly, asking questions is really about prognosis – that is, whether your health problem is more likely to be benign or serious, and what this fact means for your future health.

2. Check your body: Looking for physical signs can help you find out what may be going on. At general physical pointers to illness, and how to spot them. After checking your body, use your health problem for specific information. And don’t worry, this process is all pretty straightforward.

Self-diagnosis is the process of diagnosing, or identifying, medical conditions in oneself. It may be assisted by medical dictionaries, books, resources on the Internet, past personal experiences, or recognizing symptoms or medical signs of a condition that a family member previously had.

Self-diagnosis may be appropriate under certain circumstances. All over-the-counter (non-prescription) medications are offered on the assumption that people are capable of self-diagnosis, diagnosing first that their condition is unlikely to be serious and the possible harm caused by incorrect medication minor.
