During my trip to L.A. in June I found myself sitting at a dining table feeling terrible; a whole other level of terrible. After appetizers and a few bites of my meal, I excused myself. I used all the effort I had in me to message my husband and tell him that I wasn’t feeling well. I requested he call one of my travel friends to check on me if he didn’t hear back from me within the hour.
I made it back to my room successfully, hopped into the shower, and laid in my bed on video chat with my family. Within two hours I was feeling fine and resumed working. I attributed the matter to lack of sleep and continued onward with the remainder of my trip.
Almost a month later, I found myself at the dining table in my own home with the same symptoms. I excused myself and laid on the couch with ice packs and cooling pillows for an hour. But at this point I was starting to worry that I wasn’t dealing with an isolated incident.

I downloaded the free app and create an account within minutes. During setup I was asked about where my pharmacy is, age, birthday, sex.
Before my first on-demand appointment I was asked questions relating to my visit, and to specify (check off) symptoms I was experiencing. I found this process very quick and easy to complete. Within minutes I was speaking with a real live doctor! My doctor was friendly and refrained from startling me as much as possible. He cautioned me to stop overlooking my symptoms and encouraged me to visit an ER, or someone local to me, for blood work.
