What Are The Symptoms Of Dyslexia?

hi, im 18 years old and a full time student at college. i have very poor reading, spelling, number and learning skills, i have always been very slow in school and never really had the best of grades. i am worried that i may have a form of dyslexia, i have done some online tests and they have all come back 'strong/high signs of dyslexia'.
i would like to have further testing but i have no clue were to go, i was wondering if i should start by going to my doctor?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, you need consult a psychologist for proper dyslexia testing. That would help you to find out the severity of the problem. In dyslexia, there is no specific medication, but with help of special educator you can improve yourself. You can also try some neuroleotic after psychiatrist consultation. In case, you have more query, you can ask.

Thanks
