Good starting point: A person's PCP (primary care provider) should be a physician, or a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner working on location with a physician. One can call her PCP for non-emergency concerns like stomach aches, heartburn, missed menstrual periods, etc... One may go directly to the ER if having an emergency issue like an obviously broken arm, crushing chest pain, pooping lots of blood, etc...

Never a bad idea: Specifically if your symptoms have worsened in time. Try to systematize your symptoms in a log as this may help tremendously in putting together a plan, onset, pattern of symptoms, linked or not, daily variability, what makes them better, what makes them worse, etc. Check with your doc timely.
