Do you judge new symptoms by the day or by the trend?

I keep a small paper log for sleep, water, protein, and a 1-5 energy note. Three days ago I started getting a dull headache around 3 p.m. plus a faint metallic taste that came and went. It lasted about 36 hours total, then faded. My cautious brain wants to wait and see, but my anxious brain wants to google every possibility. I don’t want to overreact to one weird afternoon, but I also don’t want to wave off something that repeats. For those who track body signals closely: do you give a new symptom a few days, or do you wait longer to see if it’s a pattern? Gently curious how you draw that line.
