What should I do now?
Call 911
Call 911 for new or unexplained chest pressure that persists or returns, severe trouble breathing, collapse without normal recovery, or sudden face/arm weakness or trouble speaking. Do not drive yourself.
Contact your care team
Contact your care team for persistent or worsening fatigue or a meaningful decline in your usual activity.
Keep your care plan
Record how symptoms affect daily tasks, and review sleep and medications with your clinician.
SECTION 3
When should I seek help?
Heavy bleeding, vomiting blood, or black stools with weakness or dizziness also require urgent medical attention.
Arrange a visit for a persistent change
Contact your clinician if fatigue limits normal activities, is getting worse, or continues despite reasonable rest. Mention unexplained weight loss, fever, swelling, or a major change in walking ability.
Sudden exercise intolerance should not be pushed through. Stop the activity and seek care appropriate to the accompanying symptoms.
