So unfortunately my hypochondria has kicked in. I woke up today with problems with breathing like my lungs simply can't breathe in a lot of air, as if it was filled with phlegm and I am very sure I just have a cold.
Then I heard that Legionaire's disease had an outbreak near me. So I wanted to check up the symptoms but I lack the fever.
So I was curious as to what I could have and typed "Should I be concerned over Shortness of breath" and gone to a site and I went down the list.
Horrifically every single option lead to "See a doctor" or "See a doctor immediately you are dying!" (there was no "Ohh your just sick" possibility) but that isn't the best part.
You see I've been using Epson Salt on my feet to kill a possible fungal infection (My feet have been VERY itchy for a long time and arn't healing properly) and because the calises on my feet are thick it causes days long swelling on the pads on my feet (Pin needle pain quite often). In otherwords my feet are swelling.
So I get down the list and "Feet swelling" and "Shortness of breath" AND tougher to breathe when lying down actually fell onto "You are dying, get to a doctor ASAP now!" levels (Specifically it indicates a type of heart failure, something VERY likely for me to have)
-Actually about three of those sections actually applied to me...
Dang it Online Medical advice! Your playing on my fears! Now I am going to HAVE to go to the Walk in Clinic... and he is going to be "Why is he coming in here? I hate when university kids come in here and waste my time" and I am going to be all
So have any of you ever looked up a symptom online and by sheer coincidence came up with the results of life threatening illness?

Edit addition: Apperantly I had Exema and Asthma. It sure took a long time.
