Overview
History
Common Symptoms
Some signs and symptoms have a particular importance for the assessment of the situation and indicate a possible medical emergency:
- unusual and violent headache (see, e.g. hemorrhagic stroke);
- a chest pain, like a vise pressing;
- intense stomach pain, that lasts or comes again and again;
- the person has abundant sweat whereas it is not a hot ambiance and he or she did not make any physical effort (this can be related to a problem of carbon dioxide elimination);
- the person is very pallid (this can be related to problem of blood circulation) or blue (possibly respiratory problem); on a person with darker skin, this can be seen on the internal face of the lips or the nails;
- the person has problems breathing (makes efforts to breathe, or sounds can be heard at inhalation and/or exhalation);
- the person has difficulties speaking (e.g. too weak to be heard, words without sense, mouth distorted);
- the person has partial paralysis in an arm or a leg, even if it does not last;
- agitation (violent behaviour, or uncontrolled movements).
