Three symptoms worth attending for, and four that usually are not
Worth an appointment
Any lump that is new and persists three weeks, unexplained weight loss, and bleeding that has no obvious cause. All three, promptly.
Usually not
A cough under three weeks, a single episode of most things, and anything that is already improving. A pharmacist can help with all of these.
The grey area
Anything you find yourself thinking about repeatedly. Persistent worry is itself a reasonable reason to attend and is treated as one.
