When Should You Go to the Emergency Room?
If you or someone you know is facing a life-threatening health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. If your symptoms are severe, avoid driving yourself to the emergency room. Doing so could put you and others at greater risk of having an accident.
Seek emergency care if you experience:
- A severe allergic reaction
- Chest pain or pressure on the chest that lasts more than 2 minutes
- Confusion or trouble speaking
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Seizures
- Traumatic injury such as a broken bone, dislocation, or a lesion that may require stitches
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop with direct pressure
