SEEK CARE NOW

Based on your answers, you may need care right away. Symptoms are likely to get worse without medical care.

  • Call your doctor now to discuss the symptoms and arrange for care.
  • If you cannot reach your doctor or you don't have one, seek care in the next hour.
  • You do not need to call an ambulance unless:
    • You cannot travel safely by driving yourself or by having someone else drive you.
    • You are in an area where heavy traffic or other problems may slow you down.
