Yes: If you did not ask for premium, paid services, then this HealthTap basic forum is free. Post your question with good grammar and spelling, and one or more of the thousands of volunteer doctors will answer it. They might skip repetitive questions, or ones that have too many abbreviations, or are otherwise hard to understand. (Or try HealthTap's premium Concierge service for a private consultation.)
