Keep a symptom diary to share with my doctor
A simple daily symptom tracker and a one-page summary that helps your doctor see patterns, without guessing at causes.
The prompt
Help me set up a symptom diary I can share with my doctor.
Symptom(s) I want to track: [e.g. "headaches", "stomach pain", "fatigue", "joint stiffness"]
When it started: [DATE OR ROUGH TIMEFRAME]
Things I suspect might be related: [e.g. "certain foods", "sleep", "stress", "my cycle", "weather"]
How I'll record it: [paper / phone notes / spreadsheet]
Appointment date: [DATE - optional]
Create:
1. A daily log template with columns that matter for my symptom: date, time, severity (0-10), duration, what I was doing, food and drink, sleep, medications taken, and anything that helped or worsened it.
2. A short guide on how to rate severity consistently.
3. A one-page summary template for the appointment: when it started, how often, worst episode, patterns noticed, what I've tried, and my top 3 questions.
4. Once I paste my log entries, help me summarize patterns factually (e.g. "4 of 6 headaches followed less than 6 hours of sleep") without suggesting a diagnosis.
Do not diagnose or name possible conditions. Tell me to seek urgent care or call emergency services for sudden severe pain, chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech trouble), fainting, or any symptom that feels like an emergency.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
