Safety boundary
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. However, since the urgency metadata indicates that urgent care is unlikely [1], please note that you should still seek medical attention if your symptoms are severe, sudden, or worsening. If you are unsure about the severity of your symptoms or the best course of action, consider consulting a healthcare professional for guidance.
