Follow up: You need a full history and physical exam in person, please follow up in Urgent Care. No need to go to ER unless you are feeling short of breath or weak or in distress. If you are, then please follow up in ER. In general always a good idea to follow up if symptoms worsen for any condition. Good luck to you.
