Let's say i have got a site name health.com and there are around 7-8 pages regarding stomach pain. headache, ankle pain, wrist pain etc.
Is it okay if i use meta title as - what is stomach pain and know how to cure it.
and meta description like - find the signs and symptoms of stomach pain ,causes, effects, cures and remedies etc
and for headache also i have used the same meta title and description as well, only changing the main topic for instance, i have used -
meta title as - what is head ache and know how to cure it.
and meta description like - find the signs and symptoms of head ache ,causes, effects, cures and remedies etc

(i just replaced stomach pain with head ache and that's it)

and same for ankle pain, wrist pain etc. Is this okay to do?
 
If you try to over optimize your metas to attract users. Google will probably ignore your metas and fill it with information on whatever they see fit.

you're absolutely right, Most of the times when you try to over optimize Google will pick a random text from the post and use as meta description.

When it comes to SEO optimization you can always learn from your competitors, find your target keyword and take a look at top 3 competitors that are on the search results, you should study how they do their optimization and then implement the strategies in your own unique ways.

Guys but my main concern is, i have used the same meta title and description on all the pages, -

on stomach pain,
meta title as - what is stomach pain and know how to cure it.
and meta description like - find the signs and symptoms of stomach pain ,causes, effects, cures and remedies etc

on head ache
meta title - what is head ache and know how to cure it.
and meta description like - find the signs and symptoms of head ache ,causes, effects, cures and remedies etc

as you can see i have only replaced 'stomach pain' with 'head ache' and the rest; title and description are same, and i have done the same on ankle pain, wrist pain etc Is this okay to do??

(i did this cause it covers the keywords i want)



Is this okay to do??
 
What you need to realize,
1) What is the target keyword?
2) Is the content on page consist of the target keyword with the necessary density?
3) Is the target keyword covered in meta tags? (Title & Description)
If you have put up keywords in meta tags or content does not revolve around target keywords then Google will pick the meta description from content
 
Its harder to suggest anything. Without knowing how Google is going to react on it.

I will suggest that publish one page. For example the page of head ache. And check how it goes!!

I think each title and its associated meta-description should be unique for each of your articles (if possible), as google is known to have issues such as keyword cannibalization - 2 pages fighting for the same ranking for 1 keyword. So if you limit the unique keywords for each article specifically, that would reduce keyword cannibalization issue, which would be better in terms of having a more stable ranking.

yes but i want to target signs, symptoms, causes,effects and all on headache, stomach pain, knee pain etc so i preferred same meta title and description ...

This but why not look at what your competitors are doing?

Simply,
Attractive title with keyword and give short information about what the article explains inside.
A visitor should think to click the title when they see the description.
