Types of pain for which I always call an ambulance

It just so happens that people try to relieve pain with pain pills. In fact, it is very dangerous, because it is not known what disease caused such symptoms. Since childhood, I was taught to go to an ambulance in case of severe pain.

But what can I say, any therapist will say that I am right and will name the most common types of pain that only a doctor can relieve.

I want to tell you about several options when you can't do without a call to 03.

Chest pain

The cause of such pain, depending on the symptoms, may be a heart attack, arrhythmia, or other problems with the cardiovascular system. If a person knows about his disease, then before the arrival of the doctor, you can take the pills that were prescribed earlier. If unbearable pressing pains began for the first time, you need to urgently call an ambulance.

Pressure surge

I had to face such a symptom personally. I was visiting my mother. She suddenly complained of headache and dizziness. I decided to measure the pressure: it turned out to be very high. I called an ambulance and described the situation. The paramedic replied that she was on call at the moment. She asked which medications had been prescribed earlier and recommended drinking half the dosage.

Sudden dizziness and severe headache

If, due to a severe headache, dizziness begins, hearing and vision decrease, weakness appears in the limbs on one side, a doctor is urgently needed.

This could be a symptom of a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage. The process can only be stopped in a specialized institution.

Acute abdominal pain

Acute abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting, can be caused by inflammation of the appendix. If there is acute pain in the right hypochondrium, then this may be associated with hepatic colic. The stomach can hurt due to gastritis, peptic ulcer, acute pancreatitis.

Quite recently, on Channel Five, there was a meeting with a gastroenterologist Andrei Baranovsky. He drew the attention of viewers to the fact that no acute pain can be tolerated. And if the stomach is already ill, then you need to call a doctor. It is dangerous to stop pain with pills on your own. Indeed, most often acute pain occurs when the surgeon has to intervene.

And what diseases for which it is necessary to call an ambulance can you name?
