When to Go to the ER: Know the Signs

Some health concerns can be managed in a clinic or at home, but certain symptoms may signal a more serious condition that should be evaluated right away. Situations involving sudden, severe, or concerning changes—such as head injuries, high fevers, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or signs of stroke—often need prompt medical

attention.
