I check myself for the symptoms, I ask my associates to check me for symtoms and than I will treat it. |

Almost anything can be a symptom of a serious illness. Headache? Could be a brain tumor. Upset stomach? Could be cancer, parasites, ulcer, ibs. Aching joint? Could be any number of degenerative diseases. Feeling great? That could be associated with a serious illness as well.

First I'd get blood tests at the doctor's. Then I'll race FROM the AMA doctor's to an acupuncturist, and go natural medicine. They have some good holistic doctors. I know of a clinic in San Jose, CA that is pretty good. I also know of Chinese herbal store in Oakland, and all you pay is $8 for a diagnosis, and they then will write you a prescription. I'd start turning to my diet, change it. Stay away from junk food, try to sleep well at night, light walking...and pray. Emotions play a great deal in disease. Try to laugh, be with people who love you. |

If I seriously thought I had a symptom of a serious illness, I would look it up online and make an appointment with my doctor. If it was something that needed attention right away (heart attack), I would head to the hospital. |

Look it up online, initially. If it doesn't go away fairly quickly, I worry about it for a few days and if it's still not gone I'd go to the doctor.
I'm a very lazy hypercondriac. |

Well, some time this week I thought I might have, and for a few days I ignored it, then I got the courage to look it up. I"m fine. :> |

I tell myself that I'm being paranoid and forget about it. I almost never do this, though. I normally assume that what symptoms I have are the symptoms of non-serious illnesses. The only thing I've sort of worried about is this knot in my neck that I was afraid might be a tumor. It was also causing me a lot of pain, so I went and had it checked out, which I would have done even if I hadn't been worried that it was a tumor. |

Look it up online, make an appointment with the doctor. Then get frustrated because they either don't listen to you or they don't reach a conclusion. |

Ignore it and hope it will go away, but I do look it up online... I just figure that "it is just my luck, so what else is new" and go with the flow. I didn't expect to be alive no so any day I wake up is a bonus... |

A series of all of the above. Also:
 avoid the survey about serious illness for 2 weeks and feel sick to stomach while worrying about potential serious illness every time you see the survey and click past it

I'm a cancerphobe and come completely unhinged and sure I'm gonna die when I find a new freckle. But if I just ignore it, it blends with the others. And I'm probably covered in cancerous freckles. |
