Question 1

what's it like waking up after passing out? should you go to the er if you pass out?

Accepted Answer

Like waking up from : ... sleep. Have you ever woke up in the morning after a particularly hectic day? That's what it feels like. Only when you "pass out," the cause is sudden &amp; unexpected. There may be medical reasons that cause it; if not addressed, you may be in a coma- ie, not wake up. If you pass out &amp; don't know the cause, or if there's something different, you should definitely seek medical attention. Good luck.

Question 2

what are some things you should go to the er for if you have a chiari malformation? (like passing out, severe headache that doesn't ease up, etc.)

Accepted Answer

Please repost: Please repost and include information on how and by whom your Chiari malformation was diagnosed, whether you are actually having any of these symptoms, and what answers the clinician who made the diagnosis gave you to these questions; or, if you have not asked that person, please state why not.

Question 3

dizzy durning the day almost like passing out, headaches, always thirsty, chills when hot,  rash on my arms almost like eczema, night sweats in a cold room. was just at the er diagnosed with migraines but i feel it might be something more.

Accepted Answer

Mold exposure?: First I would recommend getting blood work done and an EKG and possibly an echocardiogram. If  all that comes back normal, I would then ask you if it's possible that you are being exposed to mold at home, school or work.  With toxic mold exposure, you can have the symptoms you described here and all your blood work would be normal.  I can talk with you further about this with a consult if you wish

Question 4

painful bump on my gums. had a tooth break off and i haven't been able to get into the dentist. do i need to go to the er.

Accepted Answer

ER: The emergency room will not treat your broken tooth... for that, you'll have to make the time to get to a dentist for treatment. The sooner you go the sooner you will feel better. Do not let this problem escalate further.

Question 5

i have an abscessed tooth. what should i do to help swelling and pain until i can get to the er?

Accepted Answer

Don't Go To ER: The er is a very expensive place to go for this simple problem.  Your family doctor and/or your dentist are a much better choice for treating this simple problem. Why would you spend thousands of dollars on a hospital visit instead of going to the medical or dental professionals trained to manage this for you?

Question 6

have severe tooth ache in a tooth that was filled in yrs ago and the tooth is loose. is it possible a tooth can be extracted at the er?

Accepted Answer

ER treatment: Very few, if any, er's at hospitals will do any type of dentistry. They usually just prescribe pain medication and antibiotics and refer you to your own dentist. Even if the hospital has a dental residency program, treatment will be normally be rendered there under normal program hours.  When was your last dental check-up and do you go regularly? That tends to prevent these emergency situations.

Question 7

do i need to go to the er i have a abcess tooth that has spread to my sinuses and ear i also have blood drainage from nose and bubbling in my ear and extreme tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, or Urgent Care: Please get seen today at either an Urgent Care or ER.  You have a serious infection that will not get better without treatment.

Question 8

when should u go to the er for a tooth abcess?

Accepted Answer

Tooth abcess: Most ERs do not have dentists.   It is better to see a dentist when you have an abcessed tooth because the ER can only treat the infection with antibiotics nd not the tooth itself.   They will refer you to a dentist for treatment.  Go to the ER if your face is very swollen and you cannot breathe and this is a life threatening situation, otherwise see a dentist.

Question 9

can i go to the er for a really painful wisdom tooth?

Accepted Answer

No: They are absolutely less than useless.  You need to go to a dentist that does extractions.  Then you can be properly treated.

Question 10

what can the hospital do for me if i go to the er with extreme tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

No: They are absolutely less than useless.  You need to go to a dentist that does extractions.  Then you can be properly treated.
