Escalation and appointment planning

Some questions should not wait for an evidence review.

Seek urgent medical evaluation now for sudden severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, new weakness/numbness on one side, difficulty speaking, loss of consciousness, seizure, severe confusion, chest pain, trouble breathing, serious allergic reaction, suicidal intent, or any symptom that feels emergent. This list is not exhaustive.

A potentially urgent or rapidly worsening feature is present. Pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, or fertility-treatment context requires prompt tailored review. Possible medication/substance interaction, withdrawal, toxicity, or dosing error. Symptoms substantially impair safety, sleep, work, caregiving, mobility, or daily function. Severe mood change, psychosis, mania, self-harm concern, or unsafe behavior. None of these selected; clinician review may still be appropriate.
