Symptom question prompt

What most people type

I've had a headache for 3 days that gets worse when I stand up, what could it be?

It works, but the AI has to guess your age, current medications and existing conditions, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

I've had a headache for 3 days that gets worse when I stand up and eases when I lie down. List the most likely causes, from most to least common, with a one-line explanation of each. Then tell me which warning signs mean I should get urgent or emergency care, and what to tell a doctor or what tests they might do. Keep it general and educational, not a diagnosis.

Context I can add if useful: [age], [recent events such as a spinal procedure, head injury, illness, or dehydration], [other symptoms such as fever, stiff neck, vision changes, nausea, or neck pain], [current medications], [existing conditions].

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: age, current medications, existing conditions.
