Having many symptoms at the same time, when should you go to the emergency room?

Health warning signs sometimes do not come from a single symptom but a group of symptoms. When these groups of symptoms appear, the patient should not be subjective but should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Each of these symptoms is considered a medical emergency. Early detection and prompt action can even save lives.

Severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fever are common symptoms of appendicitis.

These symptom groups include:

Chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea

This group of symptoms is a hallmark sign of a heart attack. The American Heart Association says chest pain is typically a feeling of pressure, tightness, or burning in the center of the chest that lasts for several minutes or recurs intermittently. If chest pain is accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea, it is a sign that the heart is not getting enough oxygen due to coronary artery blockage, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).

Severe headache, visual disturbances, vomiting

A severe headache accompanied by neurological signs such as blurred vision, seeing flashing lights, dizziness, and vomiting may be a sign of a brain hemorrhage, a ruptured brain aneurysm, increased intracranial pressure, or a hemorrhagic stroke.

In addition, if the headache comes on suddenly, is severe and unprecedented, especially with vomiting or stiff neck, then you need to go to the hospital immediately.

Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite

When these three symptoms occur together for no apparent reason, it could be a sign of a serious medical condition, such as cancer, hypothyroidism, chronic infection, or liver or kidney disease.

Sudden numbness and weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, facial distortion

This is the classic triad of symptoms of a stroke caused by a blockage in the blood vessels in the brain. When blood cannot reach the brain due to a blockage, the areas that control movement, speech and the face are immediately affected. Early intervention within 3 to 4.5 hours after a stroke will significantly increase the chance of recovery.

Severe abdominal pain, nausea, fever

These are common symptoms of appendicitis, acute pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and even stomach perforation. These are all conditions that require emergency surgical intervention. Severe abdominal pain with vomiting and fever is a sign of acute inflammation in the abdomen. If not treated promptly, it will lead to sepsis, according to Medical News Today .
