Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Time to see Dr: How much worse would you need to feel to decide to get evaluated? Might be diabetic / thyroid / infectious / depression...Too many choices w/broad symptoms & over internet. Need good history, exam & likely some blood tests to figure out what is going on.
