When should I go to the emergency department in case of autoimmune disease symptoms?
Go to the emergency department if any of the following autoimmune disease symptoms get severe:
- Trouble breathing/shortness of breath. Remember that some people with an autoimmune disease can experience this when they’re pregnant.
- Severe chest pain/pressure to your chest.
- A headache that starts suddenly and feels like the “worst headache you’ve ever had.”
- Sudden weakness, especially if you can’t move.
- Dizziness that doesn’t stop.
- Pain so severe that you can’t stand it.
