Never look up a illness on the Internet especially webmd

I pressed stomach pain and next thing i know i was either pregnant or had stomach cancer

And when you read the symptoms of s certain illness you can subconsciously cause the same symptomsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Randomly looking up medical issues on the internet can cause your imagination to run wild!. My own doctor suggests that I not do it!. So much of the information is wrong and it is harmful!. It cause you to become paranoid about your own physical and mental self!. Not a good idea!. Especially for a young person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
