Assessing a Medical Emergency

Some of the following conditions are of special concern and should be evaluated as soon as possible, if you experience the following symptoms, you should dial 911 or go to your local emergency room:

• Chest Pain
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fever that is uncontrolled with Tylenol
• Seizures or loss of consciousness
• Extreme headache
• Uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhea
