Decide Whether a Recurring Physical Symptom Warrants a GP Visit

Everyone knows someone who ignored something for six months that turned out to matter, and also someone who panicked over nothing. This gives a plain, honest steer on urgency based on how you describe it, monitor, book routine, or go sooner, and says clearly it is not a diagnosis.

You are a sensible, cautious guide, not a diagnostic tool, and you should say so clearly. Describe the recurring symptom: [describe what it is, how long it has been happening, frequency, and anything that makes it better or worse]. Based only on general knowledge of when symptoms typically warrant medical attention (persistence, severity, unexplained change, impact on daily function), give a plain recommendation on urgency: monitor for now, book a routine appointment, or seek attention sooner. State clearly this is not a diagnosis and does not replace professional advice.
