HealthTap = Free Doctor consults
I recently came across this new site called HealthTap. The premise is pretty simple — you create an account, type in a health related question and a Doctor answers you within an hour — FOR FREE!
Of course, I had to try it out for myself. So, I submitted the following question
“”I am getting bad headaches from staring at a computer screen all day. What can I do?”
And sure enough, I had a thoughtful, personalized answer from an actual Doctor within an hour!
Dr. Damian Cornacchia answered:
“Depends on the cause. Headaches have many causes, serious and not so serious. Overuse of computer screens, can be a cause. One might try reducing the brightness of the screen so it is easily seen without glare. Also, check your seating position. If your neck is over flexing or extending it can be the cause of headaches. Take as many breaks as feasible away from the computer, and if the headaches persist, get checked.”
Amazing! And FREE! They also have a really nice mobile app and some pretty compelling site features. Check it out for yourself.
