Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Medical attention: She needs immediate medical attention as her symptoms are concerning for serious pathology and time will be of essence. Would recommend closest ER or Urgent Care. If her Primary care physician available let him or her know also.
