SYMPTOM CHECKER
NOTE: If you are feeling unwell I advise you to contact your doctor, a hospital or NHS direct immediately. Please do not try to self-diagnose via the Internet. Seek the advice and help of a medical professional.Over the many years that I have worked as a GP I have seen many different symptoms. My work in media (on ITV's This Morning and others) has also brough many other symptoms to my attention. Over the coming months I will be working to put a "symptom checker" here on the web site. In the meantime here are some other excellent online symptom checkers. Please note that I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any third party material, however all these symptom checkers are from reputable sources.
