## Prompt

```text
Help me prepare for a doctor's appointment. I'm not asking for a diagnosis.

**Reason for the visit:** [MAIN CONCERN]
**Symptoms:** [what, where, when they started, how often, what makes them better or worse, severity 1–10]
**Relevant history:** [conditions, medications and supplements, allergies, family history]
**What I'm worried about:** [CONCERNS]

Give me:
1. A clear 1-page symptom summary to bring or show my doctor.
2. 8–10 questions to ask (possible causes, tests, treatment options, side effects, what to watch for, when to follow up).
3. General background on what doctors commonly consider for these symptoms, in plain language, so I can follow the conversation — clearly not a diagnosis.

If anything I describe could be an emergency (chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, thoughts of self-harm), tell me to seek urgent care immediately.
