Is It an Emergency?
If you go to the emergency room (ER), you may have to wait a long
time to get help. So you should go only in an emergency.
Watch out for these symptoms:
- Shortness of breath or difficulty
breathing
- Fainting, sudden dizziness, or
weakness
- Pain or pressure in the chest or
upper abdomen
- Confusion or difficulty speaking
- Vision changes
- Sudden or severe pain
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea
- Vomiting blood
- Feeling suicidal
- Unusual pain in the abdomen
If you or someone you know has
any of these symptoms, don’t delay.
Go to the nearest ER or call 911
for help. For less severe symptoms
that you think do not need emergency
care, call your doctor or the ProMedica
Call Center at 1-800-234-8773
(TTY: 1-800-750-0750).
