This is educational, not medical advice. The quiz gives you a directional indicator — it isn't a diagnosis. A real diagnosis requires an in-person evaluation with a qualified provider. If you're in active distress — sudden severe headache, sudden weakness, trouble speaking or seeing, or a change in consciousness — call 911 or go to your nearest ER right now.
