Many common medical symptoms can be treated safely at home for the first 24 to 48 hours, but there are some other conditions in which you should call for an ambulance without delay.
A) Severe central chest pain that is not relieved by rest. This symptom may signal a heart attack, especially if it is accompanied by weakness, moist, pale or bluish skin, breathing difficulty, sweating, changes in heart rate, and a pain in the arm.
B) Sudden, unexplained drowsiness or loss of consciousness. Possible causes for either condition may include an overdose of drugs, a biochemical disturbance such as uncontrolled diabetes, or a brain disorder such as meningitis.
C) Severe abdominal pain. If such pain is not relieved by vomiting, or if it is accompanied by sweating or faintness, or any abdominal pain which is centered on one side of the body and persists for 3 hours, it could signal a serious problem such as appendicitis. The symptoms require immediate medical attention.
